What is ID and OD grinding?

OD grinders work on the external (outside) surface of an object as it is rotated between the centers. With ID grinding, small amounts of material are removed from a part to finish off its inner surface.

What does an OD grinder do?

Commonly used to grind cylindrical surfaces or the shoulders of workpieces, the method is capable of great precision: Tolerances from ±0.0005” (13 μm) to ±0.00005 inches (1.3 μm) for diameter.

What is CBN grinding?

What is a CBN Grinding Wheel? A CBN wheel is made from cubic boron nitride. This material is one of the hardest materials available, second only to diamonds. The main feature of the material is that it features a high abrasion resistance and thermal conductivity that maintains its sharp cutting edges.
