Sealed and
Grinding Wheels
The grinding wheel should be inspected before every use. Use the “ring test” method on Page 17 to verify the structural integrity. Take care in storing grinding wheels to keep them free from potential damage due to being dropped or having other items dropped on them.
Replace the wheel when the wheel diameter is reduced to 5". Operating at anything less than this diameter does not allow the proper alignment of the tool rest and the eye shield.
Depending on the type of grinding you do, the grinding wheel may require periodic dressing. Refer to the “Wheel Dressing” instructions on Page 18 for details on how this is done.
