q

Since the proper peripheral speed range of vitrified stemmed grindstone is
600

1,800m/min(1,970

5,900ft/min), it is recommendable to use within

the proper speed range. (Do not use beyond the peripheral speed of
2,000m/min(6,560ft/min) since it is dangerous)

w

The overhanging mode of stemmed 
grindstone should be within 13

A

If the overhanging mode must be 
made beyound 13

A

, use it by slowing 

down the motor speed. (Fig. 22)

e

Do not use the poor quality of grindstone with run-out, hurts, cracks, etc.

r

It is recommendable to use the grindstone after dressing is made.

t

In case of grinding, the depth of cutting per cycle is max. of 0.01

A

.

After one cycle of grinding, repeat reciprocating motion a few times and start
next cycle of grinding.

y

In case of drilling, end milling, etc., follow the manufacturers' recommended
speed.

u

Clean the shank of tool before mounting. If the dirts or foreign materials get
into the collet chuck, they will create the cause of run-out.

i

Do not give a storong shock and do not disassemble uselessly.

INSTALLING OF SPINDLE

CAUTIONS FOR CUTTING TOOLS IN USE

To install the spindle on a holder, the installation method as shown in Fig.19 is recommended. If it is not
possible, install it as shown in Fig.20. Do not use mounting screws pushing directly on the spindle as shown
in Fig.21, because it could damage the housing and may result in failure of rotation, overheating, etc.

CAUTION :

¡

If the collet cap is tightened too much without mounting a tool, the collet chuck is

squeezed up too much and apart from the collet cap and becomes difficult to
remove from the spindle even if the collet cap is loosened.

Do not remove the collet chuck often other than cleaning because it may hurt the

collet chuck.
