During the process, the workpiece rotates around its own axis, while the grinding wheel, also rotating, removes material and gives the surface its final shape and finish.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><div class=\"g-cols wpb_row via_flex valign_top type_default stacking_default\"><div class=\"vc_col-sm-6 wpb_column vc_column_container\"><div class=\"vc_column-inner\"><div class=\"wpb_wrapper\"><div class=\"wpb_text_column us_custom_432d3f53\"><div class=\"wpb_wrapper\"><p>As with a lathe, the rotation of the workpiece determines the possible final shapes: the result is always rotationally symmetrical around the workpiece axis. This means that the starting material does not necessarily have to be cylindrical already, but it also means that the machining possibilities go beyond a simple cylinder. Conical shapes, stepped diameters, crowned forms and other rotationally symmetrical profiles can all be produced as well.<\/p>\n<p>The result is a component with an exceptionally low surface roughness value (Ra), high roundness and exact fit dimensions. This makes cylindrical grinding indispensable for parts that need to function in dynamic or precision mechanical systems.<\/p>\n<p class=\"translation-block\">Cylindrical grinding can be used as a finishing operation after <a href=\"\/en\/high-precision-production\/machining\/cnc-milling\/\" target=\"_self\">milling<\/a> or <a href=\"\/en\/high-precision-production\/machining\/cnc-turning\/\"
