12 Operation
12.1 Notes on operation
The cylindrical grinding machine has a drum driven by
the motor. The workpiece is fed with the automatic feed
against the rotation of the drum. However, a certain level
of experience is necessary to work efficiently.
The following recommendations should assist in
processing:
- The operator should have basic knowledge with
this type of machines.
- Material removal and surface quality is better when
working in several passes at low infeed and higher
feed rate.
- The best surface finish can be obtained when grin-
ding in the direction of the grain.
- The optimum infeed requires some experience and
depends on the sanding belt grit, feed speed and
type of wood.
- Remove nails and other foreign objects from the
workpiece before machining.
- Sanding wood with moisture content above 20%
causes unnecessary wear on sandpaper and mo-
tors, increases the risk of kickback, and produces
poor results.
- Ensure that all workpieces are securely held and
guided during machining.
- Only machine a workpiece that is resting securely
on the table.
- Remove chips and workpiece parts only when the
machine is stationary.
12.2 Starting the machine
With the following steps the machine can be started and
the machining process can be executed:
Step 1: Make sure that the electrical connection is cor-
rect.
Step 2: Plug in the power plug and press the start button.
