Abstract
Reciprocating surface grinders are used to move the wheel with rectilinear motion relative to the workpiece to generate a plane surface or a profiled surface with zero curvature in the direction of motion. The wheel strokes back and forth over the workpiece, making “conventional” or up-cutting strokes in one direction and “climb”-cutting strokes in the return direction. The principles of reciprocating surface grinding are closely related to the principles of cylindrical grinding outlined in Chapters 1 and 2. It is suggested that those chapters be read before proceeding with this chapter. There are, however, some unique features of reciprocating surface grinding that are developed below.
