Horizontal Surface Grinders

A Horizontal Surface Grinder, often referred to as a Peripheral Surface Grinder, is a precision machine tool designed to produce extremely flat and smooth surfaces on a workpiece. It is the most common type of surface grinding machine.

The process involves securing a workpiece to the worktable, rapidly spinning the abrasive wheel, and using the machine’s feed controls to move the workpiece back and forth under the wheel with a precisely controlled depth of cut and crossfeed increment. The action removes microscopic chips of material to achieve a desired dimension, flatness, and surface finish.
