Surface Grinder

What is Surface Grinder?

A surface grinder finishes flat surfaces to fine finishes and tight tolerances with an abrasive wheel, typically on hardened parts after machining and heat treat. It removes small amounts of material precisely, correcting flatness and producing smooth, accurate faces.

Grinding is a family — surface, cylindrical, centerless and jig grinding — each for a different geometry.
