The electromagnetic grinding table 1 or 2 is cleaned by means of a brush unit and the saw body is being placed on the table
The saw body is surface ground by means of an electrically driven grinding wheel
During the grinding process, the grinding wheel is moved with a linear movement over the saw body
The thickness of the saw body is measured by means of a measuring system during the grinding process
After the first side is finished, the saw body is cleaned by means of the brush unit and turned over. Before the saw body is placed back an the grinding table the table is also cleaned by means of the brush unit. The second side of the saw body is surface ground
