What is a surface grinder?
A surface grinder is a grinder that is designed to grind material flat. The grinder grinds one side flat and then you flip it over and grind the other side. The entire piece is then parallel on both sides and the thickness is the same over the entire length. Surface grinding is not necessary but very nice if you have a machine. When a knifemaker starts making folders is usually when he starts wanting a surface grinder. Precision ground steel makes folder making a little easier. Here is a picture of a modified commercial surface grinder that was modified by Master Bladesmith Ed Caffrey of www.caffreyknives.net Here is a home built surface grinder made by full time knifemaker Gene Osborn from www.centercross.
One of the most common grinding machines in the average shop is the surface grinder. It is comparable to a multi-toothed milling cutter, except it has a grinding wheel as its abrasive cutting tool. This wheel removes much smaller chips of metal. The deposit of such tiny chips, called swarf, occurs because the grinding wheel is composed of thousands of cutting edges. Two types of abrasive material are used in the grinding wheel. Aluminum oxide is used when machining materials with a high ductility, or ability to deform permanently. Silicon oxide is used for materials with a low ductility. The abrasive grains in a grinding wheel allow for a smooth finished product, regardless of the material being worked on. These abrasive particles are usually coated with a diamond dressing. Steel, aluminum, and glass are examples of the many materials that can be ground. The surface grinder is commonly used as a finishing operation. There are two basic types of surface grinder. Both types grind flat su
