Using the Grinder

WARNING: The grinding wheel can fly apart and cause injury. Grinding wheels must always be checked for cracks or imperfections. This is done with the “ring test”. Tap the wheel gently near the outer rim with the handle of a screwdriver. You should hear a clear bell-like ring. If a dull thud occurs, do not use the wheel. The wheel may be damaged and could come apart during operation.

1.Always bring the workpiece into the wheel gently, without jarring.

2.The workpiece will quickly become heated, therefore frequent quenching in water is required.

3.When grinding high speed steels such as drill and tool bits, avoid high temperature buildup as this can affect the temper of the steel.

4.For small workpieces such as drill bits or chisels, avoid applying pressure to the wheel at a high angle that could cause

the workpiece to become lodged between the tool rest and the wheel.
