Surface grinding is performed on two basic types of machines. These are the horizontal spindle and vertical spindle surface grinding machines. Either type may be obtained with a reciprocating or a rotary table. As with other types of grinding machines the spindle should run true so that there is a constant pressure between the wheel and the work. 1, record 2, English, - horizontal%2Dspindle%20surface%2Dgrinding%20machine
