Grinding
The machining process known as grinding or abrasive cutting uses a grinding wheel with an abrasive surface to cut or grind away unwanted material, creating a smooth finish. MW offers a few different grinding services including CNC grinding, electrochemical grinding (ECG), and precision sharpening.

CNC Grinding
In this process, precision machining and computer-aided software combine to operate a rotating wheel which is used to remove unwanted material from a metal blank.

Electrochemical Grinding
In this process, a positively charged workpiece is ground to the desired specifications by performing an abrasive process using a negatively charged grinding wheel and electrolyte fluid which works to remove electrically conductive material.

Sharpening
Sharpening is a grinding process where the tip of the workpiece is ground at an angle to sharpen a blunt end to a point.
