Using the Grinder
WARNING: The grinding wheel can fly apart and cause injury.
Grinding wheels must al ways be c hecked for crac ks 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. Alwa ys 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.
