Operation Overview
The purpose of this overview is to provide the novice machine operator with a basic understanding of how the machine is used during operation, so they can more easily understand the controls discussed later in this manual.
Note: Due to the generic nature of this overview, it is not intended to be an instructional guide for performing actual machine operations.
To learn more about specific operations and machining techniques, seek training from people experienced with this type of machine, and do additional research outside of this manual by reading
To reduce the risk of serious injury when using this machine, read and understand this entire manual before beginning any operations.
Loose hair, clothing, or jewelry could get caught in machinery and cause serious personal injury. Keep these items away from moving parts at all times to reduce this risk.
During operation, small metal chips may become airborne, leading to serious eye injury. Wear safety glasses to reduce this risk.
To complete a typical operation, the operator does the following:
1.Examines the grinding wheel to make sure it is suitable for use (has no visible cracks or large chips).
2.Examines the workpiece to make sure it is prepared for grinding.
3.Uses the elevation handwheel to raise the grinding wheel assembly to provide clearance when mounting the workpiece.
4.Wipes the table surface clean to remove any debris that may interfere with the clamping process.
5.Uses a magnetic chuck to hold the workpiece to the table, then turns the elevation handwheel to lower the grinding wheel to just above the top surface of the workpiece.
6.Turns the grinder ON, then stands to the side of the wheel path while the wheel reaches full speed.
7.Performs the grinding operation.
Note: Because the method for performing each grinding operation varies, specific actions are not listed here.
8.When the grinding operation is complete, turns the machine OFF and allows the grinding wheel to come to a complete stop.
9.Removes the workpiece from the table.
