CNC Grinding Services
Think regular machining is precise? CNC grinding takes accuracy to a whole new level, removing material with computer-controlled abrasive tools to achieve tolerances that would make a human operator’s head spin. Our grinding operations deliver dimensional accuracy down to ±0.00007 inches with surface finishes from mirror-smooth 0.025 μm to 3.2 μm Ra. Whether you need cylindrical grinding for shafts, surface grinding for perfect flatness, centerless grinding for high-volume production, or specialty precision grinding for complex parts, we’ve got you covered. These aren’t just numbers on paper — they’re the difference between parts that almost fit and components that perform flawlessly in aerospace systems, medical devices, automotive applications, and other precision manufacturing where “close enough” simply isn’t an option.

What is CNC Grinding
Think of CNC grinding as the perfectionist’s approach to machining — it uses computer-guided rotating wheels that act like super-precise sandpaper to remove material exactly where needed. The difference shows up in those microscopic measurements that matter tremendously in high-performance applications — we’re talking roundness within ±0.0002″ (about 1/5 the thickness of a human hair) and cylindricity within ±0.005 mm even on materials so hard they score up to HRA 94.5 on the Rockwell scale. Regular machining methods simply can’t touch this level of precision or surface quality — it’s like comparing a smartphone camera to a professional studio setup. When parts need to fit together perfectly or surfaces need to be virtually friction-free, CNC grinding isn’t just nice to have — it’s absolutely essential.
Grinding Process Advantages
The real magic of grinding happens at a microscopic level, each removing just a fraction of material with every pass. We match wheels to materials: CBN (Cubic Boron Nitride) wheels for those super-hardened steels, diamond abrasives for the nearly-impossible-to-machine carbides and ceramics, and traditional silicon carbide or aluminum oxide wheels for softer materials like aluminum and cast iron.
Key Process Benefits:
- Grinding achieves tolerances that make regular milling look crude — around 10–50 times more precise
- Unlike other processes, grinding works perfectly on materials AFTER heat treatment, when they’re at their hardest
- Creates those mirror-smooth finishes crucial for optical applications and precision sealing surfaces
- Our controlled cutting conditions eliminate the thermal damage that ruins parts in less sophisticated operations

CNC Grinding Services FAQs
CNC grinding achieves dimensional accuracies within ±0.00007″ (±0.002 mm) for cylindrical operations, with roundness and cylindricity tolerances to ±0.0002″. This type of grinding maintains flatness within ±0.0125 mm across large surface areas using precision grinding machine technology. These accuracy levels exceed conventional machining by factors of 10–50 times, making grinding essential for components where dimensional precision directly impacts performance.
Material removal rates operate significantly slower than conventional machining, typically removing 0.001″-0.010″ per pass compared to milling operations removing 0.100″ or more. Grinding wheel wear necessitates frequent wheel changes and redressing operations, creating production interruptions. Higher processing costs result from slower stock removal rates and consumable grinding wheel expenses compared to conventional cutting tools requiring replacement less frequently.
Grinding techniques include traverse cylindrical grinding using longitudinal wheel movement, plunge grinding for shoulders and complex geometries, and centerless operations for high-volume round parts. Surface grinding employs reciprocate table movement with downfeed wheel positioning for flatness control. Specialized methods encompass in-feed creep grinding for substantial stock removal, thread grinding for precision fasteners, and form grinding creating complex profiles through programmed wheel dressing operations on rotating abrasive wheels.
