Metal Grinding for Precision Sheet Metal Fabrication

Metal Grinding for Precision Sheet Metal Fabrication

February 26, 2022 1:06 pm

Metal grinding is used essentially in the precision metal fabrication industry as part of the finishing process. It is often a manual job to finish off to smooth welds, created unique lines, and finish rough edges. The goal is to remove small amounts of material in order to achieve a particular finish or tight tolerance.

Most metal fabrication companies have a grinding machine. On a smaller scale, grinding can be done with a file. Metal grinding with a handheld grinder or a stationary grinding machine with industrial grinding wheels or belts are two forms of grinding in metal fabrication. A portable handheld grinder can be used for out-of-reach area.

There are different types of metal grinders depending on a variety of factors. An experienced metal fabrication expert will identify key parameters such as the type of metal, parts, dimension, tolerance, and production capacity. The most common types of metal grinders are the following;

Types of Metal Grinders

  • Belt Grinder
  • Bench Grinder
  • Cylinder Grinder
  • Surface Grinder
