VARYING WHEEL PERFORMANCE
It is possible to alter the performance of a grinding wheel by varying the traverse speed, infeed
(amount of material being removed) or the speed of work. If a wheel acts as though it is too hard
(causing burning, chatter, slow cutting or loading) it can be made to act softer by:
1. Increasing the work speed,
2. Increasing the traverse speed,
3. Increasing the infeed,
4. Dressing at a faster traverse speed, or
5. Dressing more often.
If a wheel acts as though it is too soft (not holding size or requiring excessive dressing), it can be
made to act harder by:
1. Decreasing the work speed,
2. Decreasing the traverse speed,
3. Decreasing the infeed, or
4.
Dressing at a slower traverse speed.
It’s beneficial to use quality grinding stones and to match the stone to the material being ground.
If you are grinding titanium valves then you should use a stone designed for use on titanium.
Irontite Products uses the same formulation on the stones we offer as Kwik-Way has always
used. The combination of our specially formulated stones, grinding oil, and the precision of our
exclusive chuck design means you will get the best possible finish. Using other products can
affect the quality or life of the stone.
It’s very important to keep your chuck free of debris. Clean your chuck should you encounter any
problem with its operation.
Use Kwik-Way grinding oil (000-2112-73 gal.) and keep your grinding oil free of contaminants to
get the best possible performance.
