BASIC GRINDING OPERATIONS

9.1 OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS

A bench grinder is designed for hand grinding operations only, such as sharpening drill bits, chisels

and screwdrivers or removing excess metal from workpieces.

A coarse grit grinding wheel could be used for grinding rough metals, to remove large amounts of

metal, or where a smooth finish is not important.

A fine grit grinding wheel could be used for sharpening tools or grinding close to size. A fine grit

wheel removes a metal more slowly and therefore gives the workpiece a smooth finish and does

not generate enough heat to anneal the cutting edges.

– Check that there is a 1.5mm (1⁄16") clearance between the tool rests and the surface of the

grinding wheels. Adjust as necessary. Now check the gap between the spark deflectors and the

surface of the grinding wheels. These should also be 1.5mm (1⁄16"). Adjust as necessary. The

tool rests should be adjusted so that they are just below the centre line of the grinding wheels.

This should help prevent accidental jamming of the work between the tool rest and the wheel.

– Check that the eye shields have been secured in the correct position and that the grinding

wheel lock nuts are tight.

Note: Before fitting a new grinding wheel to the bench grinder always carefully check the wheel for

damage such as chips, flaws or cracks. Then if the new wheel appears to be satisfactory fit the

wheel to the grinder. Stand to one side of the grinder and switch "ON". Let the grinder operate at

full speed for approximately one minute so that any undetected cracks or flaws in the wheel will

become apparent.

– Stand to one side of the bench grinder, switch on and let it build up to full speed.

– When grinding, always keep the workpiece moving across the face of the wheel. Grinding

against the same part of the wheel will cause uneven wear of the wheel face.

– When necessary redress the grinding wheels using a wheel dressing tool. After redressing

adjust the tool rests and spark deflectors as necessary to maintain a 1.5mm (1⁄16") clearance

from the wheel.

9.2 GRINDING TIPS

Ensure that the item to be ground is comfortably and securely held. Adjust tool rest to correct

angle. Present the workpiece smoothly on to the grinding wheel face with a light and even

pressure. Grind against the edge of the workpiece to avoid burrs. Never grind on the sides of the

wheels.

Best results are achieved if the grinder is allowed to rotate at its maximum speed. Excess pressure

from the workpiece can damage the wheel and overload the motor.

Check grinding wheels regularly for wear or damage. Replace wheels that are worn more than

25%. Damaged wheels should be discarded immediately as they are dangerous and can cause

the grinder to vibrate.

After grinding fine edge tools, they should be honed by hand on a fine slip stone.
