Grinding Wheels
The JET Series bench grinders come equipped
with general purpose grinding wheels. Wheels
vary according to types of abrasive, hardness,
grit size, and structure. JET carries a full line of
abrasive grinding, carbide grinding, tool
sharpening, and wire wheels. Contact your local
distributor for the proper grinding wheel or wire
wheel brush for your application.
Wire Wheel Brushes
Wire brushing provides a fast way to remove
rust scale, burrs, and point from metal. Use
coarse wire brushes for hard cleaning jobs. Use
fine wire brushes for polishing and finish work.
When the brush tips become dull, reverse the
brush on the grinder.
Cleaning
Metal shavings may still be
hot from recent grinding operations. Make
sure shavings and debris are cold before
cleaning the grinder.
Brush all shavings from the motor housing, tool
rests, and wheel guards. Check grinding wheels
for cracks and chips. Replace if damaged.
Avoid the use of the
following cleaning chemicals or solvents:
gasoline, carbon tetrachloride, chlorinated
solvents,
ammonia and household
detergents containing ammonia.
Lubrication
All motor bearings are permanently lubricated at
the factory and require no additional lubrication.
