Abstract
There are many types of grinding: “precision” and “rough,” internal, external, surface, centerless; using wheels or belts; and conventional or “super” abrasives. I believe they all act the same. When a moving abrasive surface contacts a workpiece, if the force is high enough, material will be removed from the part and the abrasive surface will wear. Those two things will always occur; however, the force level determines how fast the mutual removal rates will be, how rough the remaining surface will be, and whether the workpiece will be metallurgically damaged or not. The purpose of this section is to provide relationships between variables and to illustrate how changes to a system affect its performance.
