A mechanical cylindrical grinding machine is a precise grinding tool that is used to shape and finish cylindrical objects. It is mostly made up of a bed, a headstock, a tailstock, and a wheel head. The bed provides a base for the machine and holds the workpiece in place during grinding. The headstock is used to hold the rotating workpiece while the tailstock supports the end of the workpiece. The wheel head is responsible for rotating the grinding wheel, which is used to grind or polish the cylindrical object.

Some common accessories that can be used with a mechanical cylindrical grinding machine include:
1. Coolant System – Used to cool the workpiece and grinding wheel during grinding.
2. Dressing Tool – Used to shape the grinding wheel to the desired form.
3. Workholding Devices – Such as chucks, collets, and centers, are used to hold the workpiece securely.
4. Workpiece Rotating Device – Used to rotate the workpiece during grinding for uniform grinding.
5. Grinding Wheel Balancer – Used to balance the grinding wheel to prevent vibrations and ensure a smooth finish.
6. Digital readout – used to display the measurement and precision of the grinding in digital form.
7. Steady Rest – used to support long and thin workpieces, to reduce vibration, or deflection.
8. Magnetic Chuck – used to hold the workpiece by magnetic force, when traditional workholding devices are not optimal.
9. Grinding Attachment – the additional overside spindle with the grinding wheel that can be mounted on the same chuck or workhead. It is useful in grinding a number of non-circular shafts and other objects.
