the corner grind
The process corner grind for precision engineering is the use of advanced machinery to accurately shave and round off the corners from a material, usually metal or plastic regarding its angle or radius. With deburring, the process aids in making parts prettier after custom machining metal and makes them stronger structurally as well; particularly true for components that a relatively weak knife-edge is cut on. The corner grind process allows for programmable CNC machines offering high repeatability and consistency. They both have grinding wheels made from diamond or cubic boron nitride, which keeps them sharp and able to grind glass for longer periods of time. The corner grind sees applications in aerospace components, for example where tight tolerances are required, and automotive parts like brake disks that need good edge conditioning to meet safety standards and support high performance.
