2.
FLYWHEEL E-Z LOCK INSERT:
The table spindle into
which the flywheel hold down bolts get threaded contains a
threaded insert. (Image to right) This replaceable E-Z Lock
insert is provided so that when the threads become
damaged replacement of the entire table spindle is not
necessary. It is recommended that replacement should be
done before the insert's threads are completely worn out. An
E-Z Lock insert extractor is supplied with the grinder (794-
8637-45)
Once a month, remove the E-Z Lock insert (794-8017-44) from
the center of the table, and coat the threads with an anti-seize
lubricant. This will prevent the insert from becoming
permanently lodged in place from rust and grit.
GRINDING HEAD ADJUSTMENTS
All grinding should be done with the rear edge of the grinding
wheel. Insufficient rearward tilt as evident by sparks from both
the front and rear of the wheel may result in abnormal heating
of the work piece and necessitate more frequent dressing of the
grinding wheel.
Experience has shown that tilting the head of the machine so
that the indicator reading at the rear is .020” to .025" lower than
at the front is a good starting point. Individual operators may
want to increase or decrease tilt depending upon their own
preferences. (Increased tilt should be used if higher stock
removal rates are desired.)
NOTE:
The head tilt on your grinder was set at the factory at
.023” tilt to the rear.
