Peel-grinding operations resemble single-point turning on a lathe, because, similarly to a lathe tool's, the grinding wheel moves in the X and Z axes to grind contours, different diameters and other features on a workpiece. It uses a thin superabrasive grinding disk oriented almost parallel to a cylindrical workpiece operates somewhat like a lathe turning tool, it is widely used in cutting tool industry for producing Tungsten Carbide Step Tools. Devided in roughing, semi-finishing, finishing.
