Surface grinding is used to produce a smooth finish on flat surfaces. It is a widely used abrasive machining process in which a spinning wheel covered in rough particles (grinding wheel) cuts chips of metallic or non-metallic substance from a work piece, making a face of it flat or smooth. Surface grinding is the most common of the grinding operations. It is a finishing process that uses a rotating abrasive wheel to smooth the flat surface of metallic or non-metallic materials to give them a more refined look by removing the oxide layer and impurities on work piece surfaces.

Grinding is the removal of metal through the use of abrasives bonded to form a rotating wheel. When the moving abrasive particles make contact with the workpiece, they act as tiny cutting tools, with each particle removing a tiny chip.
Aluminum, brass, plastics, cast iron, mild steel, and stainless steel are common workpiece materials. For cylindrical grinding, aluminium, brass, and plastics can have poor to fair machinability. Cast iron and mild steel are excellent materials for cylindrical grinding.
