SELECTING GRINDING WHEELS Before using a grinding wheel, be certain that its
maximum safe operating speed is not exceeded by the nameplate speed of the grinder. Do not exceed the recommended wheel diameter.
DISC GRINDING WHEELS
Grinding wheels should be carefully selected in order to use the grinder most efficiently. Wheels vary in type of abrasive, bond, hardness, grit size and structure. The correct type of wheel to use is determined by the job. Use disc grinding wheels for fast grinding of structural steel, heavy weld beads, steel casting, stainless steel and other ferrous metals.
GRINDING TIPS
Efficient grinding is achieved by controlling the pressure and keeping the angle between
wheel and workpiece at 10° to 15°. If the wheel is flat, the tool is difficult to control. If the angle is too steep, the pressure is concentrated on a small area causing burning to the work surface.
Excessive or sudden pres- ! WARNING sure on the wheel will slow
grinding action and put dangerous stresses on the wheel.
When grinding with a new wheel be certain to grind while pulling tool backwards until wheel becomes rounded on its edge. New wheels have sharp corners which tend to “bite” or cut into workpiece when pushing forward.
CUTTING METAL
Using the optional type 1 wheel guard (supplied with 1812PSD only), it is possible to perform limited cutting on small stock such as metal tubes, piping or rebar. When cutting, work with moderate feed, adapted to
