Types of Cylindrical Grinders

OD grinder

An OD grinder grinds the outer diameter (OD) of the work piece, held on one or both ends. Usually, the work piece is held between centers or chucked and rotated against a faster spinning grinding wheel. A lathe center (or center) is a tool that has been ground to an included angle of 60 ° and is used to accurately position a workpiece about its axis. ... A Chuck is a specialised type of clamp used to hold rotating tools or materials. ...


ID grinder

An ID grinder grinds the inside diameter (ID) of a work piece.


Centerless grinder

A centerless grinder is a type of OD grinder where instead of the work piece being supported on either end it is held against the grinding wheel by a second smaller wheel, turning at a slower RPM known as a regulating wheel.
