Grinding Wheels

The grinding wheel should be inspected before every use. Use the ring test method noted in Wheel Inspection on Page 17 to verify the structural integrity. Take care in storing grinding wheels to keep them free from potential damage by being dropped or having other items drop on them.

Replace the wheel when the wheel diameter is reduced to 2" smaller than its original size. Operating at anything less than this diameter does not allow the proper surface speed for grind- ing or spacing of the tool rest and the eye shield, and the grinding wheel may fly apart.
