What is Cylindrical Grinding
Cylindrical grinding (also called center -type grinding) is used to grind the cylindrical surface and shoulders of the workpiece.

There are five different types of cylindrical grinding (various grinding methods include straight cylindrical, taper, end face, and total shape grinding) :
* Outside diameter (OD) grinding
* Inside diameter (ID) grinding
* Plunge grinding
* Creep feed grinding
* Centerless grinding

Abrasive Cylindrical Grinding Wheels
Most applications, predominantly use aluminium oxide grinding wheels in a vitrified bond with particle sizes ranging between 54 and 180, and hardness grades between H and L (depending on requirements). This enables an optimum balance between abrasion and surface finish. However, if extremely fine surface finish levels are required (e.g. Rz < 3 µm), we recommend the use of resin-bonded grinding wheels with grit sizes finer than 150.
