How to choose a grinding machine

Grinding machines produce accurate dimensions and fine surface finish. Choose by the type of surface you grind, the size of the parts and the accuracy you need.

Surface, cylindrical or tool grinding

Surface grinders finish flat faces. Cylindrical grinders finish round parts and shafts. Tool grinders sharpen cutters and tools.

Work size and weight

Compare the table or centre dimensions and the load capacity with the largest part.

Accuracy and finish

Ask for the stated accuracy and the achievable surface finish, and how the machine achieves them.

Wheel and spindle

Check the wheel size and the spindle power for the materials you grind.

Coolant and dust

Grinding needs coolant or extraction. Plan filtration and housekeeping from the start.

Grinding machines: frequently asked questions

Which grinding machine do I need?

Surface grinders suit flat parts, cylindrical grinders suit shafts and round parts, and tool grinders suit cutters.

What accuracy can I expect?

It depends on the machine type and condition and on your setup. Check the stated accuracy in the specification.

How do I choose the work size?

Take your largest part and compare the table or centre size and load with some reserve.

Do I need coolant?

Most grinding uses coolant to control heat and improve finish. Plan filtration for it.
