Grinding is a very famous casting machining process, especially in casting foundries. It typically uses an abrasive wheel to remove material from the workpiece’s surface. This casting machining is prevalent for the smoothening of casting parts.
You can generally find four types of grinding machines. Surface grinders are suitable for flat surfaces. On the other hand, cylindrical grinders are for cylindrical parts. Centerless grinders are prevalent for parts without centers. Finally, internal grinders are used for internal surfaces. Although there are many grinders, these four are the most common.

- It can achieve high precision and surface finish.
- Suitable for both hard and brittle materials.
- It improves the accuracy of the cast parts.
Limitations
- Slow process
- Needs labor
