What it is
How it works
General reference — not yet source-verifiedIn a vertical-spindle rotary-table surface grinder, the grinding wheel rotates about a vertical axis while the workpiece is mounted on a rotating table. The table rotates continuously and the wheel is lowered into contact with the workpiece. Material is removed by the abrasive action of the wheel. The combination of wheel rotation and table rotation produces a flat surface as the table passes beneath the wheel.
