Designing for Machinability

Abstract

Grinding consists of generating an extremely accurate surface by applying a rapidly revolving abrasive wheel to the surface to be finished. Although it is generally thought of as a finish‐machining process, grinding often is employed as a complete machining process, in that the work is ground down from the raw stock condition to the finished dimensions without rough turning or other machining.
