Knowing how – grinding profiles, curves, corners A n important machining method in many areas of the metalworking industry is belt-grinding workpieces of many different designs to shape. For these applications in particular, the flexible characteristics of the abrasive in belt-grinding, combined with an elastic backing element, result in significant benefits compared to grinding with bonded abrasives. Such methods include hand-held belt grinding of turbine blades on the so-called belt-grinding wheel stand, semi-automatic belt-grinding to copy spanners and fully-automatic CNC belt-grinding using...
