This new book by Diamond Industrial Tools' Harry G. Sachsel on "Precision Abrasive Grinding in the 21st Century" was specifically compiled and written for those involved with precision abrasive grinding and also those that use them. The future will require a tremendous increase of precision abrasive grinding applications and their systems as more hard alloy materials, crystalline, ceramic, and strange materials need to be manufactured as "normal" and present machining systems no longer can be used cost effectively. It's written in layman's language for all to learn and benefit.

grinding
Machining operation in which material is removed from the workpiece by a powered abrasive wheel, stone, belt, paste, sheet, compound, slurry, etc. Takes various forms: surface grinding (creates flat and/or squared surfaces); cylindrical grinding (for external cylindrical and tapered shapes, fillets, undercuts, etc.); centerless grinding; chamfering; thread and form grinding; tool and cutter grinding; offhand grinding; lapping and polishing (grinding with extremely fine grits to create ultrasmooth surfaces); honing; and disc grinding.
