Wheel Care		Wheel Selection

Your safety when grinding depends, in large part, on the condition of the wheel. A wheel in poor condition may break apart during rotation, injuring the operator and damaging property.

Here are some tips to help you avoid breaking the wheel:

•Always transport, store and handle wheels with care. Wheels may be damaged if they are dropped or if heavy objects are stacked on them.

•Select the right grinding wheel for the job. DO NOT grind material inappropriate for the wheel type.

•Select the right wheel for the machine. If a grinding wheel rotates faster than its RPM rating, it may fly apart.

•Mount wheels properly. (See the Wheel Replacement instructions on Page 17 for guidance.) Never use a wheel with the wrong arbor size for the grinder.

•Do not abuse the wheel by jamming the work into the grinding wheel with excessive force.

•Learn how to use the grinder and the grind- ing wheels properly. Ask a trusted person with experience or consult with your local library to learn more.

•Do not store wheels in damp or wet loca- tions.

•Grinding on the side of the wheel may cause wheel damage.

•Replace wheels when the diameter becomes 2" smaller than its original size.

The Model H8126 only accepts Type 1 wheels with a 1⁄2" bore.

Aluminum oxide and silicon carbide wheels are marked in a somewhat uniform manner by all major manufacturers. Understanding these mark- ings will help you understand the capabilities of various wheels. Always refer to the manufactur- er’s grinding recommendations when selecting a wheel for your project.

The basic format for wheel numbering is:

Prefix	Abrasive	Grit Size	Grade	Bond
	Type			Type
1	A	60	L	V

The Prefix is the manufacturer’s designation for a particular wheel type (eg, Type 1 wheels).

The most common Abrasive Types used are 'A' for Aluminum Oxide, 'C' for Silicon Carbide, and occasionally 'SG' for Seeded Gel.

The Grit Size is a number that refers to the size of the abrasive grain in the wheel. The lower the number, the coarser the wheel. Ten is a very coarse wheel for roughing and 220 is usually the upper range for fine finish work.

Grade is an indication of the hardness of the wheel—'A' being the softest and 'Z' being the hardest.

Bond Type refers to the type of bonding material used to hold the abrasive material. Most general purpose wheels will have a 'V' indicating Vitrified Clay is used. Vitrified Clay provides high strength and good porosity. The other common bond type is 'B' for resin where synthetic resins are used. These are used to grind cemented carbide and ceramic materials.

Note: There may be other numbers inserted that have meaning for a particular type of wheel. Refer to the manufacturer’s technical data for a com- plete explanation.
