Buffing Wheel Care

Dressing

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Dressing restores the grinding wheel with a like-new abrasive quality. Whenever the front surface of the wheel loses its abra- sive qualities or balance due to particle loading or polishing of the wheel surface, then the wheel should be dressed. Use a commercially-available dressing tool, such as those available on Page 15.

To dress the grinding wheel:

1.With the machine plugged into power, stand to the side of the grinding wheel turn the machine ON.

2.Allow the machine to run for at least one full minute to make sure that the grinding wheel is safe to use, then move to the front of the machine.

3.Hold the dressing tool firmly on the tool rest with both hands and press it lightly against the front surface of the grind- ing wheel.

4.Move the dressing tool in a side-to- side motion, while keeping it even with the surface of the grinding wheel.

5.Regularly pull the dressing tool away from the wheel for visual inspection and repeat Steps 3 & 4 until the surface of the wheel appears to be restored to its normal color and bal- ance.

The process of cleaning buffing wheels produces airborne dust and particles may cause eye injuries or respiratory problems. Protect your- self by wearing safety glasses and a respirator during the entire cleaning process.

Buffing wheels can sometimes become caked or clogged with buffing compound, reducing their effectiveness. In order to clean a buffing wheel, use a commercially- available buffing rake, such as those avail- able on Page 15.

To clean the buffing wheel:

1.With the machine plugged into power, stand to the side of the grinding wheel and turn the machine ON.

2.Hold the buffing rake firmly on the tool rest with both hands and press it lightly against the front surface of the buffing wheel.

3.Move the buffing rake in a side-to-side motion, while keeping it even with the surface of the buffing wheel. As the buffing wheel is cleaned, old com- pound will be removed and fresh fibers exposed.

4.Regularly pull the buffing rake away from the wheel for visual inspection and repeat Steps 3 & 4 until the sur- face of the wheel appears to cleaned of compound and restored to its origi- nal condition and color.
