Grinding Wheels
The JET Series bench grinders come equipped with general purpose grinding wheels. Wheels vary according to types of abrasive, hardness, grit size, and structure. JET carries a full line of abrasive grinding, carbide grinding, tool sharpening, and wire wheels. Contact your local distributor for the proper grinding wheel or wire wheel brush for your application.
Wire Wheel Brushes
Wire brushing provides a fast way to remove rust scale, burrs, and point from metal. Use coarse wire brushes for hard cleaning jobs. Use fine wire brushes for polishing and finish work. When the brush tips become dull, reverse the brush on the grinder.
Cleaning
Metal shavings may still be hot from recent grinding operations. Make sure shavings and debris are cold before cleaning the grinder.
Brush all shavings from the motor housing, tool rests, and wheel guards. Check grinding wheels for cracks and chips.
Replace if damaged.
Avoid the use of the following cleaning chemicals or solvents: gasoline, carbon tetrachloride, chlorinated solvents, ammonia and household detergents containing ammonia.
Lubrication
All motor bearings are permanently lubricated at the factory and require no additional lubrication.
