1) The Grinding Machine A grinding machine uses an abrasive wheel as a cutting tool to shape or change the dimensions of a hard material. The type of materials that need grinding are usually metallic items such as tools and rods. These machines generally work by reducing the material through abrasion. Grinding is used to finish workpieces that must show high surface quality and high accuracy of shape and dimension. There are several main parts in this machine. These parts are shown as below.

These one are the longitudinal support ribs design. Stiffeners used in the arrangement provide significant movement in the bending and torsional stiffness of box-type structures. The stiffeners of open structures, such as grinding beds, which consists of vertical shears connected by ribs also depends to a great extent upon the arrangement of stiffeners. The bending as well as the torque resistance of frame components may be improved by the provision of strengthening rib. 3) Find the holes and gives the reason There are some holes in this machine tool. These holes provide their own function. The picture below will explain about the function of every holes that exist in this grinding machine. Hole | Reason | | The main purpose for this hole is to make the joint or connection by using the screw. As we know, the joint between the part is very important for the machine rigidity. | | A hole is needs to transfer the flow of the liquid that use in this machine. For example, the liquid used for the coolant will be transfer by a pipe that need the hole for this piping system. | | This machine required electricity as the main source energy. So, this hole is very important to create a hole for the
