Grinding

Grinding is a precision machining process that involves the use of a grinding wheel to shape and form cylindrical metal parts. Zulu Manufacturing performs this process on a cylindrical grinder, which is a specialized machine tool that can hold and rotate the workpiece while the grinding wheel is applied to the surface. Grinding is often used on a turned part to produce extremely high tolerances and smooth surface finishes, which are often important in aerospace and medical industries.

We have the capability to perform outer diameter (O.D.) and inner diameter (I.D.) grinding to tolerances of less than 0.0002”. Our grinder has a 10” swing and 23” distance across centers.
