Is your new grinding wheel vibrating? This is often caused by improper mounting, wheel imbalance, or hidden damage. Fix it by verifying the mount and doing a ring test.
Achieve superior results by optimizing speed, feed, and depth of cut. This guide details how to balance these key parameters for faster material removal and a better finish.
Fix wheel glazing, burn, and vibration with this troubleshooting guide. Get clear steps to diagnose and solve common grinding wheel performance issues for better results.
Achieve a flawless finish on complex dies with effective grinding and polishing strategies. Use a multi-stage process with the right tools and quality control.
A CBN wheel is your best option for hardened steels due to its chemical inertness with iron and superior thermal stability, preventing wear and ensuring precision.
A soft grinding wheel is used for hard materials because its bond releases dull grains, creating a self-sharpening effect that prevents heat damage and glazing.
Is your mounted grinding wheel wearing out too fast? This is often caused by excessive pressure, incorrect speed, or a mismatch between the wheel and material.
For sharpening drills made of HSS, use a 60-80 grit aluminum oxide wheel. For cobalt or carbide, use a diamond wheel. Grind a 118° point angle on the wheel face.
Fix grinding wheel loading with practical strategies. Use a softer grade, coarser grit wheel, optimize speeds, and apply coolant correctly to prevent clogging.
Dress a grinding wheel by using a dressing tool to clean and true its surface. Brace the tool on the tool rest and move it smoothly across the spinning wheel to remove glazing and restore a flat, sharp cutting face.
