After a long hiatus due to the COVID-19 pandemic, The Grinding Doc video series o Cutting Tool Engineering's website resumes with a special two-hour episode about Cylindrical Master 2020, an Excel program developed by Dr. Jeffrey Badger, aka The Grinding Doc. The 105th episode of The Grinding Doc video series provides a detailed description of the Cylindrical Master program that Badger developed during the pandemic.

The Excel program is available to anyone who takes the Grinding Doc's one-day virtual Zoom course on Cylindrical Grinding. The course, which will be held March 1, offers attendees a thorough understanding of cylindrical-plunge grinding and cylindrical-traverse grinding that should enable them to increase feedrates, eliminate chatter, increase form-holding and deal with burning.

To learn more about the March 1st Cylindrical Grinding course, visit the Grinding Doc's website.

The Excel program also is available to those who purchase Badger's Book of Grinding or who sign up for his regular three-day course.

About Jeffrey Badger, Ph.D., and the Grinding Doc Video Series: Thanks to his work as an independent grinding consultant and the author of the "Ask the Grinding Doc" column in Cutting Tool Engineering magazine, Badger routinely receives questions about grinding from shops all over the world. Through the magazine column and this video series, he provides shops with the insight and guidance they seek.
