A reciprocating surface grinder is used to create smooth, flat and parallel surfaces on tool and die components. 

Also known as precision grinding, this process involves the use of abrasive tools/wheels to remove small amounts of material from a workpiece. It is a highly accurate process that produces parts with tight tolerances and a smooth surface finish.

At PunchTools we use several different size surface grinders and their features:
