surface grinding machine

the machine performs a similar function for flat surfaces and grinding nor.

finish combined with accuracy can be achieved on hard or soft steel with

this machine tool.

There are several basic designs of surface grinder and the principle of The workpiece is mounted on a table

which is reciprocated beneath a rotating abrasive grinding wheel. Metal is

removed in a series of straight cuts, the table being traversed a preset

increment after each cutting stroke until finally, the entire surface has been

ground.

The grinding wheel is mounted on a shaft which is parallel to the surface

of the workpiece. The shaft is mounted in bearings within the wheel head

and the depth of cut is preset by vertical movement of this member.

The length of the stroke of the table is adjusted to suit the length of work

before the cutting operation commences. A simple mechanism (not

shown), operated by the table movement, actuates the cross-slide in the

transverse direction. The cross-slide is mounted in slideways on the

machine bed.
