using the Grinder
Always bring the workpiece into the
1.
Wheel gently and without jarring.
When using the Wet Grinding Wheel,
2.
periodically check that the wheel is
wet on the sides up to about 3/4”.
As needed, refill the Reservoir with
more clean water. Be sure to turn the
power off and unplug the unit before
filling with more water.
When using the Dry Grinding Wheel,
3.
the workpiece will quickly become
heated, therefore frequent quenching
is required. Wipe off excess water
before addressing the tool to the
Grinder.
note:
When grinding wood cutting tools,
or any metal tool, do not let the
metal become heated so much that it
gets blue-colored, or it will loose it’s
temper and be too soft to be useful.
As soon as the tool begins to show
an orange glow, stop grinding and
quench the tool with water.
If the tool does get hot enough to
become blue-colored, the overheated
portion of the metal must be ground
off, and the tool must then be re-
sharpened.
Due to frequent misuse and overuse,
4.
screwdrivers commonly need to be
ground. The simple procedure is
to grind them flat, however hollow
grinding will give a better result. To
hollow grind, simple apply the flat of
the screwdriver to the wheel in such
a way that a very slight curvature
results. After grinding the flat of the
blade, the tip must be ground flat and
even.
Flat chisels should be ground in
5.
the same way as above, with the
exception to flattening the tip. The
tip should be ground to a mild point
depending upon the desires of the
user. The most common example is
60°.
Center punches should also be
6.
hollow ground, but you must rotate
them evenly in a circle in order to
achieve the desired result. The tool
must have the tips ground to a point.
Common points are 90° for a center
point and 60° for a prick punch.
To prevent accidents, turn off the tool
7.
and disconnect its power supply after
use. Clean, remove water from the
Water Reservoir, then store the tool
indoors out of children’s reach.
