Frequently Asked Questions
Does CNC Centerless Grinding require dedicated tooling?
Most CNC Centerless Grinding work uses standard cutting tools and CNC programs; dedicated fixtures are made only when geometry or volume requires them.
What is CNC Centerless Grinding and how is it done?
CNC Centerless Grinding refers to centerless grinding supports the workpiece on a blade between wheels for high-throughput OD finishing. VT machining produces each part to your CAD drawing, selecting parameters from your tolerance, finish and quantity requirements.
What surface finish is achievable on with CNC Centerless Grinding?
Grinding can take the part to a fine finish — typically Ra 0.1–0.4 µm, and to a mirror grade on suitable alloys.
What tolerances can you hold for CNC Centerless Grinding?
Achievable tolerances for CNC Centerless Grinding depend on the alloy, geometry and feature size. Grinding routinely holds single-micron tolerances on diameter, flatness and parallelism. Exact figures are confirmed against your drawing callouts.
