Head Swivel Maintenance
The When the movement of the column from side to side
when not locked becomes difficult or “jerky” use the two
grease zerks located on the right side of the column top
section. Apply a small amount of standard automotive
grease and work the grease in by moving the column top
back and forth a few times.
If adding grease does not solve the problem you will need to
adjust the column top. Loosen the two bolts (left hand
thread) at the back of the column top and pry open slightly
the casting top. Grease again and move side to side to
work the grease around, then tighten up the bolts.
Best Practice for CBN Wheel Use
1. Clean the machine thoroughly, and flush the
coolant system. Recharge the coolant, making sure
the coolant ratio is 50 to 1 or 1 and 1/2 cups per 5
gallons of water. (One cup = 8 fluid ounces) Use
KW coolant only- PN 000-2115-05.
2. Always start the grind with light down pressure, let
the wheel do the work. Flood the wheel with coolant
and then gradually increase the grind pressure. DO
NOT overload the wheel, as premature wear will
occur.
3. No truing is required. The wheel will hold its edge
even after grinding in a radius on a stepped
flywheel. Dressing to clean the wheel may be
needed. Use appropriate dressing stone.
4. Let the wheel "Spark Out" without pressure for one
to two minutes for maximum finish.
NOTE: Use caution when grinding stepped or recessed
flywheels. The flywheel should be centered using a dial
indicator to insure "0" radial run out.
CBN will not tolerate side impact, this will cause the wheel
to break. Wheel breakage is not covered under warranty.
