Frequently Asked Questions

Q: What is the difference between OD grinding and centerless grinding?

A: OD grinding secures and rotates the workpiece between centers or in a chuck, making it ideal for multiple diameters, shoulders, tapers, and precise geometric relationships. Centerless grinding supports the part without centers, making it highly efficient for straight cylindrical production components.

Q: What are cylindrical grinding services?

A: Cylindrical grinding services finish external cylindrical surfaces to improve diameter accuracy, roundness, surface finish, and concentricity after machining or heat treatment.

Q: Does Baxter Machine provide ID grinding services?

A: Yes. Baxter Machine provides ID grinding services for precision bores and internal cylindrical surfaces requiring close dimensional control and superior surface finishes.

Q: Are you a US-based CNC turning supplier?

A: Yes, we serve customers across the United States.

Q: What are internal grinding services used for?

A: Internal grinding services are used to finish bearing bores, sleeves, bushings, hydraulic cylinders, and other precision internal diameters where conventional machining alone cannot achieve the required tolerances.

Q: Can OD grinding be performed after heat treatment?

A: Yes. Precision OD grinding is commonly used after heat treatment to restore critical dimensions while producing accurate geometry and excellent surface finishes.
