of the spring. This is generally achieved by reducing the pitch of one finishing coil at each

Vben the coapression springs are made with wire having a diameter under 0.3 mn the wire ends
sbould never be ground.
With regard to the simultaneous grinding of the spring ends of compression springs having a
