Tip #1: Identify Where the Grind Line Terminates. Start by determining where the grind line should end. Establish it when you start grinding and stick with it throughout. When professional knifemakers grind their bevels, they usually mark the spot where they want their plunge line to terminate, so they can line it up with the edge of the belt.

Basically, peel grinding uses a narrow grinding wheel, usually 0.25″ (6.4 mm) or less in width, to grind a part. Because the process is much like cutting with a conventional lathe, it is a major competitor to hard turning. The advantages of peel grinding include: Dramatically reduced cycle time. Combined operations. Decreased throughput …

For evaluating the grinding forces, it is necessary to understand the grain geometry. An active grain of spherical shape of diameter 'D' is considered to penetrate into the work surface with approach angle of 'Ø' as a result of forces acting on it (see Fig. 4).Due to this force, the grain makes an impression of diameter 'b' on the work surface shown by …

With the in-feed method, the regulating wheel spins the part at one speed while pushing it towards the grinding wheel, which is spinning at a faster speed. The greater the difference in speeds, the faster the removal rate. 4. The choice of grinding wheel is critical. Another key factor in centerless grinding is the choice of grinding wheel.

For rough grinding stages, I use a 8" serrated wheel to chamfer the edge, set the plunge lines, and walk the grind up the spine. (mind you this is only doing stock removal, blades with ample forged bevels go straight to the flat platen). For finish grinding on hollow grinds, I use a 10 inch smooth wheel.

Illustration 11: Q-Prime for angular plunge grinding. Illustration 12: Feedrate approach at 60°. Given an approach angle of 60 degrees, we multiply the X-feedrate by a factor of 0.86 (cosine of 30°), the complementary angle to 60°. This factor converts an angular Z-feedrate of 1 mm/min to 0.86 mm/min in vertical mode.

Plunge, or In-feed grinding, is a method of centerless grinding helpful to operators in grinding relatively complex parts. The through-feed grinding process pulls the workpiece past the grinding wheels. Meanwhile, the workpiece in in-feed is held and supported between the wheels for a thorough grinding even in the smallest part diameters.
