Explanation:
The grinding process is used to produce a high surface finish with a close tolerance and for machining hard materials. The process is a variation of polishing using abrasive materials held together by an adhesive generally in the form of a solid wheel. The wheel is rotated at high speeds and the circumferential surface of the rotating wheel is brought into contact with the material being machined.
