AInternal cylindrical grinding
-
BForm grinding (profile grinding)
-
CExternal cylindrical grinding
-
DSurface grinding
Answer
Correct Answer: Surface grinding
Explanation
ConceptSurface grinding uses a horizontal/vertical spindle with a reciprocating or rotary table to produce accurate flat surfaces; by tilting/setting, it can also produce a controlled taper on flat faces.
Why others do not fitInternal/external cylindrical grinding generate cylindrical or conical (round) surfaces, not flat planes.Form grinding is intended for reproducing a specific profile/contour via the wheel form.
