Surface grinding is used to produce flat accurate surfaces and can be carried out on all materials, hard or soft.
There may be no other way of removing metal from a hardened work piece.
It is normally considered a finishing operation, but large machines are usedin place of milling and shaping machines to remove large amounts of material.

The main elements of a typical surface-grinding machine
The base is a heavily ribbed box-section casting to ensure rigidity and complete freedom from vibration.
The column, guided on a dovetail slide, carries the wheelhead at its top end and containsthe motor and belt drive to the wheel spindle.The wheelhead carries the wheel spindle, which is mounted in precision bearings.
The saddle is fitted on top of the base in the two sideways and provides the cross traversemovement. The cross traverse can be applied automatically in continuous or incremental feed by hydraulic power or, alternatively, with a manually operated hand wheel.

Milling Processes
Milling is one of the basic machining processes. Milling is a very versatile process capable of producing simple two dimensional flat shapes to complex three dimensional interlaced surface configurations.

The Process
The milling process: Typically uses a multi-tooth
cutter Work is fed into the rotating
cutter Capable of high MRR Well suited for mass
production applications Cutting tools for this process
are called milling cutters
![Page 14: Grinding. Surface grinding is used to produce flat accurate surfaces and can be carried out on all materials, hard or soft. There may be no other way](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062313/56649c815503460f94938a35/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
Classifications
Milling operations are classified into two major categories: Peripheral (side)
Generally in a plane parallel to the axis of the cutter Cross section of the milled surface corresponds to the
contour of the cutter Face
Generally at right angles to the axis of rotation of the cutter
Milled surface is flat and has no relationship to the contour of the cutter
Combined cutting action of the side and face of the milling cutter

Related Operations
Side milling - machining a plane surface perpendicular to the milling machine arbor with an arbor mounted tool. This tool is called a side mill.
Straddle milling - milling two parallel surfaces using two cutters spaced apart on an arbor.
Gang milling - milling multiple surface simultaneously using multiple cutters mounted on an arbor.
Thread milling - milling treads using the capability of a three axis contouring CNC machine.

Operating Parameters
Feed direction -- Conventional vs. Climb Conventional milling
Most common method of feed Feed work against the rotation of the cutter

Operating Parameters
Feed direction - Conventional vs. Climb Climb milling
Load of the cutter tends to “pull” the work into the cutter
This results in a small feed force and about 20% less Hp than conventional milling
Downward motion increases the load on the table ways This method can “pull” the work into the cutter and
scrap the work and/or damage the fixture and tool. Machine must be very ridged to safely utilize climb
milling(CNC machines) USE CAUTION!
