In internal cylindrical grinding, a small wheel grinds the inside diameter of the part. The work piece is held in a rotating chuck in the headstock and the wheel rotates at a very high rotational speed. In this operation, the work piece rotates and the grinding wheel reciprocates.
ADVANTAGES:
- Increased productivity due to higher stock removal and freer cutting
- Fine surface finish
- Reduced rework
- Reduced loading and dressing frequency
