The Model SB1023 is designed to be used with a magnetic chuck. The table is equipped with a
A magnetic chuck secures workpieces to the table without the use of clamps. With proper attention to preparation of both the workpiece and the magnetic chuck, a magnetic chuck will provide ample clamping force on most magnetic metals. Refer to your magnetic chuck manufacturer's instruction manual for proper workpiece mounting techniques.
Setup for a Typical Grinding Operation
Once you have chosen the proper wheel for the operation and properly installed the magnetic chuck on the table, use the following procedures to prepare for a grinding operation.
To prepare for a grinding operation:
1.DISCONNECT MACHINE FROM POWER!
2.To ensure flat mating surfaces on the workpiece and the magnetic chuck, surface grind and stone the top of the chuck and the bottom of the workpiece.
3.Make sure the magnetic chuck is turned OFF, then place the workpiece onto the chuck. Once the workpiece is positioned as needed, turn the magnetic chuck ON.
4.Make sure the grinding wheel is not contacting the workpiece, connect the grinder to power, then turn the motor ON.
Grinder Operation
Grinding with a surface grinder is a delicate process that takes practice, skill, and knowledge. In addition to this, the method used for any one procedure will depend on a number of factors, including, but not limited to the material being ground, the grinding wheel being used, the quality and calibration of measuring tools, and the finish that is desired.
For these reasons, specific techniques are not outlined in this manual. We recommend that you consult books, trade magazines, metalworking experts, and other reliable resources for techniques pertaining to the specific tasks you wish to perform.
The information that follows serves as a general outline to help familiarize you with the basic grinding technique.
