Grinding
Precision Surface Finishing
Wyken Engineering offers surface grinding for aerospace, racing and defence components. Our precision expertise enables mirror finishes, tight tolerances, and functional surface characteristics not achievable with machining alone.
Grinding transforms machined components into precision assemblies. While CNC milling and turning establish basic geometry, grinding achieves the final dimensions, surface finishes, and geometric relationships that determine whether bearings run smoothly, seals remain leak-free, and brake discs perform consistently.
Advanced Grinding Technology & Capacity
Wyken Engineering’s grinding facility combines substantial capacity with precision capability, addressing applications from small bearing journals to large structural plates.
Surface Grinding Capability
Our surface grinding centres accommodate components up to 900mm diameter or 500mm square on our Lumsden grinder, supporting applications including:
Large Structural Plates
Aerospace mounting plates and defence structural components requiring flatness and parallelism across substantial areas.
Brake Disc Surfaces
Carbon brake disc finishing for motorsport, aerospace, and military aircraft, achieving friction surface specifications that determine braking performance.
Gauge Standards
Reference surfaces for calibration and inspection equipment requiring exceptional flatness and finish.
Magnetic Workholding Technology
Our surface grinders employ precision magnetic workholding, ensuring component stability during grinding for a complete finish.
