Attachment Adjusting
Unlike a stone grinder, the diameter of the contact wheel will remain nearly the same the entire
life of the wheel. Also, since the diameter of the wheel will remain constant you will rarely need
to adjust the table height. Another advantage of using a belt to grind metal versus a stone is
when a stone reduces in diameter, you lose surface
speed, making grinding times increase. A stone
wheel may turn at 6,000 surface feet per minute
when it’s brand new, but after limited use the
diameter of the stone will decrease and the result will
be increased sharpening times and the stone will
retain more heat.
Belt Tracking
1. Engage the motor by pulling the Start/Stop switch
out to the Run position.
The belt must rotate smoothly in a downward
direction (A, toward the work rest) staying
centered on the contact wheels. If tracking is not
correct, immediately turn the machine OFF.
2. Use the tracking adjustment knob (B) on the
upper left side of the machine to track the belt to
the center of the contact wheel.
a. Turning the knob will cause the belt to
track to the right or to the left.
