Grinding Operations
Selecting grinding wheels
WARNING
Before using a grinding wheel, be certain that its maximum safe operating
speed is not exceeded by the nameplate speed of the grinder. Do not
exceed the recommended wheel diameter.
Disc grinding wheels
Grinding wheels should be carefully selected in order to use the grinder most efficiently.
Wheels vary in type of abrasive, bond, hardness, grit size and structure. The correct type of
wheel to use is determined by the job. Use disc grinding wheels for fast grinding of structural
steel, heavy weld beads, steel casting, stainless steel, and other ferrous metals.
