cylindrical grinder operator
Cylindrical grinder operators set up and tend cylindrical grinding machines designed to apply abrasive processes in order to remove small amounts of excess material and smoothen metal workpieces by multiple abrasive grinding wheels with diamond teeth as a cutting device for very precise and light cuts, as the workpiece is fed past it and formed into a cylinder.
Also called: bearing grinder, air grinder, rolling grinder, drill grinder, emery grinder, crankshaft grinder, automatic grinder operator, blade grinder
