Abrasive wheels are commonly used to improve the sharpness of cutting tools. The finer the abrasive wheel, the smoother the finish on the workpiece. However, this will be at the expense of heating up the workpiece. So for soft materials, and rapid removal of material, use a coarse grinding wheel. For hard materials and to obtain a fine finish on the material use a fine grinding stone. For the finest work, diamond or Boron nitride are often used. Coolants are often used, and these may actually ease the grinding action.
This rather depends on the surface finish needed. Grinding can get down to a surface finish of a few microns - essentially a mirror finish, needed for such commodity things as dies for making chocolate or soap. Otherwise, cutter machining may be appropriate. If the work piece has been hardened, then grinding may be the only method available.
Yes, they are called ball mills and they are used in processing ore.
Steel investment foundries make use of grinding wheels and other abrasives
Are you sure you didn't mean it the other way around? Here's one place that sells ball screws for grinders:http://www.ddb-tech.com/grinding-ground-finish-ball-screw.htm
Surfboard wax is designed to provide grip on the surface of a surfboard and is not suitable for grinding. It lacks the necessary properties for effective grinding and can create a sticky or uneven surface. For grinding, it's better to use specialized grinding compounds or tools designed for that purpose. Using the right materials ensures better performance and safety.
It's a clamp for securing a grinding vise to a solid surface like a table or a stand. You use a grinding vise to hold objects you wish to grind, so the grinder doesn't snap those objects out of your hand, and embed them in your eye.

Yes, you can use a coffee grinder for other foods and spices similar in texture such as salt, pepper, and other spices. It is important to clean out the grinder after each use though if you do use the grinder for multiple foods to ensure that the taste is not affected. You should not use the grinder for meat products either such as chicken, beef, or pork. Another precaution to take is that if during the course of grinding, you notice a strain or have to use excessive force, stop grinding and find an alternate source for your grinding needs.
The two methods of making stone tools are knapping, which involves striking stone to create sharp edges, and grinding, which involves using abrasion to shape and finish the tool. Knapping is typically used for making tools like arrowheads and blades, while grinding is used for tools like axes and grinding stones.
I use my electric grinder with rough & smooth grinding wheels
To effectively sharpen and maintain drill bits through grinding, follow these steps: Use a bench grinder with a fine grit wheel to sharpen the drill bit. Hold the drill bit at a 59-degree angle and rotate it against the grinding wheel. Apply light pressure and ensure even grinding on both sides of the bit. Check the bit frequently to avoid overheating and maintain a sharp edge. Use a honing stone to remove any burrs and ensure a smooth finish. Clean the drill bit after sharpening to remove any metal shavings. Store the sharpened drill bits in a protective case to prevent damage.
