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
