Cylindrical grinding: typical work/surface speed range Select the usual range of workpiece surface speed used in cylindrical grinding. Choose the correct option.

Q: Cylindrical grinding: typical work/surface speed range Select the usual range of workpiece surface speed used in cylindrical grinding. Choose the correct option.

Concept In cylindrical grinding, the wheel speed is very high (often ~1500–2000 m/min), while the work surface speed is modest for control of heat and finish, commonly around 20–30 m/min. Final Answer 20 to 30 m/min.

Difficulty: Easy

5 to 10 m/min
10 to 20 m/min
20 to 30 m/min
