Troubleshooting Guide

PROBLEM

POSSIBLE CAUSES

SUGGESTED CORRECTION

Poor cutting rate

Insufficient power used

Increase feed or pressure to full power

 

Wheel too hard

Use softer grade, Free Cut or thinner wheel

 

Contact area too large

Reduce contact area

 

Wheel too coarse

Use finer grit or Free Cut wheel

 

Wheel side out of truth

Check spindle runout

Non-square cuts

Work not clamped properly

Check clamp and clean to remove swarf

 

Misaligned spindle bearings

Check for bearing truth and alignment

 

Poor coolant distribution

Ensure equal volume of coolant to each wheel side

 

Wheel is too hard

Use softer acting wheel: softer grade, or finer grit, or Free Cut

Workpiece burn

Insufficient feed rate

Work machine to maximum power available

 

Poor coolant flow

Increase volume and direct at cutting point

 

Wheel is too coarse

Use finer grit or Free Cut wheel or more machine power

 

Wheel is too hard

Use softer grade, thinner, or Free Cut wheel

 

Wheel is running out

Check spindle and flanges

 

Wheel speed is too slow

Ensure tight flanges and observe maximum speed on wheel

Poor finish

Too much burr

Use finer grit, or softer grade, or Free Cut wheel

 

Wheel too coarse

Use finer grit or Free Cut wheel
