Surface Grinding Wheels and Segments
Surface grinding wheels are generally used to grind flat stock or flat surfaces within a workpiece. These wheels are typically used on horizontal spindle machines. Applications can vary from heavy, rapid stock removal to precision tolerance operations.
Typical Wheel Applications
• Producing flat stock
• Grinding large molds and dies
• Sharpening knives, blades and cutlery
• Manufacturing broaches
Surface grinding segments are generally used to grind flat stock or flat surfaces within a workpiece. The segment moves over the workpiece in a flat plane or vice versa. Applications can vary from heavy, rapid stock removal to precision tolerance operations.
Typical Segment Applications
• Vertical spindle surface grinding
• Grinding large molds, dies and large plates
• Producing flat stock
• Sharpening knives, blades, cutlery
