Surface Finishing Explained: Grinding, Honing & Polishing for Functional, Reliable Parts Summary Finish is functional. It governs friction, wear, sealing, fatigue, and assembly — not just cosmetics. Pick by function, not habit. Choose grinding, honing, or polishing based on what the part must do (seal, slide, rotate, press-fit, carry load). Specify clearly. Call out which […]

Designing for the Lathe: The Engineer’s Guide to Cost-Effective Turned Parts Turned parts get cheaper and more reliable when designs align with how lathes actually cut. Symmetry, standard feature sizes, realistic tolerances, chip-friendly grooves, proper thread reliefs, chamfers, stable L/D ratios, and stock sizes matched to finish ODs all directly influence cycle time, scrap, and

Fine Grinding vs. Double-Disc Grinding: Precision Surface Finishing Explained In precision manufacturing, achieving exact flatness and parallelism can define whether a component performs flawlessly or fails prematurely. Among the most trusted technologies for producing ultra-flat surfaces are Fine Grinding and Double-Disc Grinding (DDG). Though both processes aim for tight tolerances and high-quality surfaces, each has
