Centerless Grinder

What is Centerless Grinder?

A centerless grinder grinds the OD of round parts without holding them between centers — the part rests on a blade between a grinding wheel and a regulating wheel, which lets it be ground continuously (through-feed) at very high rates. It excels at high-volume pins, rollers and dowels.

Because parts feed straight through, centerless grinding is one of the most productive precision processes.
