Norton Gemini Non-stock Cylindrical Wheels are economical, versatile general purpose wheels, ideal when a broad range of tool steel parts are ground on one machine or in small to mid-sized shops.
Cylindrical wheels are used most often when the part is held between centers and in chucks. There are three methods of cylindrical grinding: plunge, traverse, and angular.
- Plunge grinding – wheel is thrust or plunged into the part
- Traverse grinding – wheel moves across the part
- Angular grinding – wheel contacts the part at an angle
