Grinding is a metal shaving process, which uses a tool made of abrasive materials and irregularly shaped cutting edges.

Grinding is an essential process that further improves surface quality after lathing, milling or other machining operations.

Hard chrome plated or not plated rolls which are used as manufacturing rolls, should be grinded in order to match the dimension tolerances. High quality production can only be accomplished using rolls that meet superior dimensional tolerances.

In addition, surface imperfections such as cracks, cavities, porosity, fakes and rust must be removed from roll surfaces prior to the plating process in order to achieve superior quality, durable hard chrome plating.
