This document discusses centreless grinding. It begins by introducing centreless grinding as a grinding process that removes fine amounts of material from a workpiece without using centers or chucks to hold the workpiece. It then discusses the mechanism of chip removal in grinding and the composition of grinding wheels, including types of abrasives and bonds. The document outlines the main types of centreless grinding and notes that centreless grinding is suitable for grinding long cylindrical bars in bulk and can generate different diameters and tapered surfaces. It concludes by stating that centreless grinding provides a surface roughness value ranging from 6.3 to 0.25 micrometers.
