Double-disc grinding removes material from two opposing faces in one process. Workpieces pass between opposed abrasive wheels with controlled guidance, allowing thickness and face parallelism to be assessed together. Processes opposed parallel faces; part feeding and face parallelism define acceptance.

Honing expands abrasive stones against a bore while rotating and stroking the tool. It corrects bore geometry and establishes a functional texture after earlier machining, with allowances and stone selection tied to the actual material. Controls bore geometry and cross-hatch finish after preceding machining; define surface criteria.

Lapping uses abrasive slurry between a controlled plate and workpiece to refine flatness and surface finish. Material compatibility, pressure distribution and plate condition govern the result, separate from conventional bonded-wheel grinding. Uses loose abrasive for precision surface correction; define flatness and compatible compounds.

Superfinishing applies fine abrasive stones or tape with controlled contact and oscillation to functional surfaces. It refines bearing races or similar contact areas after grinding while preserving the intended macrogeometry. Finishes functional contact surfaces after grinding; define texture and allowable material removal.

Sinker EDM erodes conductive material using a shaped electrode in a controlled dielectric gap. It produces cavities and details that depend on electrode design and flushing, unlike a wire process cutting a continuous contour. Forms cavities with a shaped electrode; electrode strategy differs from wire-cut EDM.

EDM drilling uses a tubular electrode and flushing fluid to create holes in conductive materials. It suits start holes and difficult access where mechanical drilling is limited, but hole taper and exit condition need explicit review. Makes small start or deep holes by electrode drilling; define electrode access and hole quality.

Electrochemical machining removes conductive work material through controlled anodic dissolution across an electrolyte-filled gap. A shaped cathode, electrical control and electrolyte management form one process system. Non-contact electrochemical removal for suitable conductive materials; electrolyte handling is essential.

A roll grinder restores long industrial rolls to a specified profile and surface condition. Heavy roll support, profile measurement and journal references distinguish the application from general cylindrical shaft finishing. Restores long industrial rolls; roll support, profile and measurement differ from general cylindrical jobs.
