Centerless grinding
the workpiece is not clamped between centres but supported by a regulating wheel and a work rest blade; suited to cylindrical parts in production.
Explore the category →Grinding machine: how it works and which types exist
A grinding machine removes material from a metal workpiece with an abrasive wheel, to achieve dimensional accuracy and a surface finish that other processes cannot reach. There are several types, depending on the geometry of the workpiece and the type of surface to be machined.

Internal grinding
grinds bores and internal surfaces with precision.
Explore the category →Internal and external grinding
machines that combine both processes on the same head.
Explore the category →Surface grinding
the wheel touches the workpiece tangentially, for flat surfaces.

Precision grinding works to very tight tolerances, in the order of a hundredth or a thousandth of a millimetre, with a rotating abrasive wheel. It is used when other processes (turning, milling) cannot guarantee the required finish or accuracy.
Of the types above, MTH currently has real, documented machines in its catalogue for centerless, internal and internal-and-external grinding.
