Surface Grinding

A surface grinder is a machine tool used to provide precision ground surfaces, either to a critical size or for the surface finish – often both.

Surface grinding is a widely used abrasive machining process that uses a rotating abrasive wheel to smooth the flat surface of metallic or nonmetallic materials. It removes the oxide layer and impurities on work piece surfaces and gives them a more refined or functional look.

Surface grinding can produce flat, angular, or contoured surfaces by feeding work in a horizontal plane beneath a rotating grinding wheel.

Sapphire Scientific Engineering have in-house surface grinding capabilities, a perfect compliment to many of our other in-house capabilities.
