Grinding wheels are essential tools used in machining and metalworking to precisely shape and finish workpieces. Composed of abrasive grains bonded together with various materials such as vitrified clay, resin, or metal, grinding wheels come in a variety of shapes and sizes to accommodate different applications. They are mounted on grinding machines and rotate at high speeds to remove material from the workpiece surface through abrasive action. Grinding wheels are critical in tasks ranging from sharpening tools to smoothing metal surfaces, providing efficient material removal and achieving desired surface finishes.
