Mainly in the cylindrical grinder for grinding outer cylindrical shaft workpiece end face of the outer cone and shaft shoulder. When grinding, the workpiece speed rotation, if the workpiece while for vertical reciprocating movement and longitudinal movement of each single or double stroke after stroke relative to the workpiece for grinding wheel infeed, called vertical grinding method (Figure 1). If the length is greater than the width of the grinding wheel surface, the workpiece during grinding without longitudinal movement, but the wheel relative to the workpiece continuous infeed called plunge grinding method. General plunge grinding method is more efficient than vertical grinding method. If Dresser into forming surface, cut into the outer surface of the grinding method can be processed forming.

Internal grinding
Mainly used for the inner grinder, universal cylindrical grinder and grind the workpiece coordinate grinder on a cylindrical bore (Fig. 2), and reinforced concrete cutting disc tapered bore hole and edge. Generally use the vertical grinding method. When forming the inner surface grinding, can be cut into the grinding method. When the coordinates grinder grinding bore, workpiece fixed on the table, except for the high-speed rotating grinding wheel, but also around the centerline of the grinding holes for planetary motion. When internal grinding, due to the small diameter grinding wheel, grinding speed is often less than 30 m / sec.
Surface grinding
Mainly used for grinding flat, groove on the surface grinder, etc.. Surface grinding in two ways: with the outer surface of the grinding wheel called peripheral grinding (Fig. 3), the general use of horizontal shaft surface grinding wheel as it can be processed by forming various shaped surfaces; end face grinding wheel called face grinding, general use vertical shaft surface grinder.
