The thin wheel functions like a single-point tool under CNC control. Complex shapes can be formed without a profile wheel.Ability to grind dissimilar metals on one platform.Only software needs to be changed to accommodate different parts, as opposed to tooling changes. Because the process is much like cutting with a conventional lathe, it is a major competitor to hard turning. But, changing industry needs have recently given it more prominence.īasically, peel grinding uses a narrow grinding wheel, usually 0.25″ (6.4 mm) or less in width, to grind a part. Peel grinding is one of those techniques that has been around for some time–usually applied to rather specialized tasks. Why consider peel grinding? Among the reasons: high precision ability to make complex, small features works well on hard materials conventional machining can’t handle and the falling cost of CBN.
