WARNING
WELDING CAN CAUSE WARPAGE
WHICH MAY REQUIRE RE
−
MACHINING
TO RE
−
ESTABLISH CORRECT
TOLERANCES.
ALL HEADS SHOULD BE RETURNED TO
WEILER
r
AND COMPANY, INC. FOR
REBUILD.
BASIC HEAD REPAIR/REBUILD (Fig. 46 )
Heads should be replaced or repaired as soon as
damage occurs, or wear requires it.
All heads should be returned to WEILER
r
and
Company, Inc. for rebuild.
The dimensions given are for informational
reference to gage wear.
MINOR THREAD DAMAGE can be re
−
shaped
with a three
−
cornered file. If the threads are badly
worn, it may be necessary to have the head
replaced or rebuilt. A consistently loose ring will
mis
−
shape the threads causing grinding problems
and fitting problems of ring/head.
PLATE RETAINING LUG can become battered or
broken. It can be replaced by welding but too
much heat may cause some shrinkage or distortion.
ANTI
−
SPIN FLUTES in front of the head flutes
eventually become rounded and product spins
behind plate. Factory rebuild is required.
HEAD FLUTES have sharp edges that wear away
over a period of time. Straight flutes can be
replaced, while spiral flutes cannot.
When replacing the head, replace the head gasket.
Tighten the head bolts in a “cross
−
pattern”. After
several hours of operation with a new gasket or on
a new grinder, the bolts should be re
−
checked.
