Grinding FAQs
What types of grinding services are available?
Common grinding services include surface grinding (flat surfaces), cylindrical grinding (round parts - OD and ID), centerless grinding (high-volume round parts), and specialized grinding like jig grinding and creep-feed grinding.
What surface finishes can grinding achieve?
Grinding can achieve very fine surface finishes from 32 Ra down to 4 Ra or better. Mirror finishes under 4 Ra may require additional lapping or polishing operations.
When should I use grinding vs. machining?
Use grinding for hardened materials (over 45 HRC), tight tolerances (under 0.0005"), fine surface finishes, and when removing small amounts of material. Machining is faster for softer materials and roughing operations.
