If they're using a Type 27 grinding wheel, they should approach the work at 20 to 30 degrees. If they have a Type 29 wheel, their work angle should be about 10 degrees. Type 28 (conical) grinding wheels are normally used to grind on flat surfaces to remove material on a wider grinding path.Web

Associate Editor, Modern Machine Shop. On its surface, grinding seems simple: a machine takes a rotating tool (usually a wheel) with abrasive grains and applies it to a workpiece's surface to remove material. Each grain is its own miniature cutting tool, and as grains dull, they tear from the tool and make new, sharp grains prominent.Web
