Cylindrical Grinding Machine

A cylindrical grinder is a precision engineering machine tool that is used to shape the outside surface of an object. The surface may be, profiled or stepped, tapered or straight. A cylindrical grinder is not unlike a lathe in operation as it rotates the object requiring grinding around a central axis. Cylindrical Grinding is the grinding of the outside diameter of components revolving between centres or while held in a chuck. Cylindrically ground parts are more accurate in size with better finish than those turned on lathes.
