Grinding
Essentially a double ended motor, with a mounting base, the motor
machine
flanges mount the wheel guards. The motor base contains the NVR switch
and mounts the machine lamp. The base also has four 15mm holes
cast into it to facilitate mounting the grinder to a stand or bolting it down
to a bench.
Wheel guards
Two formed metal guards that enclose the grinding wheels. They are each
formed in two parts. The inner part is mounted onto the motor flange, and
the outer part is bolted to it. There are various ‘hard point locations’ with
captive nuts fitted, that accept the fixing bolts that secure the attachments
of the machine.
Tool rests
Formed castings that comprise the tool rest mounting arm and the tool
rest proper. They are bolted into two hard points on the lower inside
edges of the wheel guards.
Eye shield/
Clear protective shields with an integrated magnifiying glass for close up
spark guards
inspection of work that mount over the grindstone to afford a view of the
workpiece, but offer protection for the eyes, They are mounted onto the
spark guards making a complete assembly that bolts through a hard point
on the upper part of the stone cover. The spark guard itself has an
elongated slot to allow positioning and adjustment as the wheel diameter
decreases. Their function is to contain any material (esp. sparks) that
would be tracked around the grindstone and sprayed out of the machine
esp. over the hands.
Work light
Integral worklight, with flexible ‘move and stay’ column, energised with the
application of the mains power. The switch is a ‘twist’ type with 2 ON and
2 OFF positions. The bulb is an Edison screw type and the maximum
wattage should not exceed 40W.
ON/OFF switch
NVR switch, marked as standard with ‘I’ indicating ON and ‘O’ indicating
OFF.
Hold down holes
Four holes that are formed in the base casting to enable the grinder to be
bolted down to the bench or a stand.
Dust extraction
There are two 40mm dust extraction ducts integrated to the wheel guards
Ducts
for the purpose of attaching a dust extractor.
