A Machine tool used for producing very fine finishes or making very light cuts. An abrasive wheel is the cutting device. The machine consists of a power driven grinding wheel spinning at 10000 rpm or more and a bed to hold the work-piece. The Grind head can be controlled to travel across a fixed work piece or the workpiece can be rotated whilst the grind head stays in a fixed position. Very fine control of the grind head position is possible using a vernier calibrated hand wheel, or using NC or CNC controls.
Contrast with Angle grinder and Bench grinder.
- Buffing machine.
- Surface grinder.
