Centerless cylindrical grinding is one of the few machining processes in which the workpiece is not firmly clamped during processing. This makes the process extremely difficult. But that's not all: The surface to be machined is also used to drive the workpiece during machining.
On the other hand, centerless grinding is an extremely economical process and many rotationally symmetrical parts cannot be finished otherwise.
These facts make this procedure special. Special measures are required on machine setting, dressing accuracy, dressing tools, selection of grinding and regulating wheel, the choice of the correct workpiece height above the center, machine rigidity, selection of workpiece blade, guide jaws, loading/unloading, etc..
The mutual influence of all these factors, positive and negative, often makes troubleshooting a coincidence game, in which it is most important to use the correct basic settings for machine and tools.
