About Diamond Blades
1. Never twist or turn a segmented wheel in the cut because it may result in segment breakage
2. Never use wet wheel dry
3. Remove dry wheel from cut for 10 seconds of each minute of to cut air cool
4. Never operate any saw, wet or dry, without the blade guard
About Fiber Disc
For best results.allow adhesive to set until tacky before applying disc.
About Sharpening Stone
1. Choose one or a sequence of benchstones to restore a cutting edge
- Use oil
• For best benchstone performance to keep stones free cutting, with no loading or gumming, use stones with oil.
• If stones do gum-up or load, clean with kerosene.
- Use of stones on flat tools
• Flat-bladed tools require flat stones. All benchstones (except diamond) can be flattened by rubbing on waterproof sandpaper against a flat surface.
- Use of stones on round or shaped tool
• Shaped tools require shaped stones.
• Select an appropriately-shaped abrasive file or slip.
- Maintain correct tool edge bevel angle
• Many knives and tools have 2 bevels:
- The blade bevel (the back of the edge), once correctly set, is seldom sharpened.
- The edge bevel does the cutting.
- Too acute an edge bevel will weaken, dull quickly and breakdown.
- Too obtuse edge bevel will not cut properly.
- The final step
• Sharpening often leads to a minute burr (wire edge) on the tool.
• Remove this by "stropping" the tool on leather or hard wood for the best cutting edge.
2. Knives and Blades
Most manufacturers ship their cutting tools without keen edges to avoid damage in transit. The blades need a good sharpening to realize their full potential. Use the largest stone affordable for a straight edge as it allows use of full surface for wider tools.
1). Place the heel of the blade flat on the stone in a perpendicular or slightly angled position.
2). Tilt the back of the blade up to the desired angle (15° to 30° depending on the application).
3). Holding wrists rigid, draw the blade diagonally against the surface for the length of the stone – like you were trying to take a thin slice of the stone – beginning at the heel of the knife and ending at the top.
4). Flip the blade over and repeat from the opposite end. Continue this action until a wire edge appears.
5). Then move to the next finer stone and repeat until sufficiently sharp.
Note: It is very important that the angle presented to the stone at the draw blade across. Push in opposite beginning of the process be maintained throughout the sequence.
3. Sharpness Testing – Woodworking Tools
The first way to tell is visual; a sharp edge reflects no light. Once this is done, it is recommended that the tool be tested by slicing down on an end grain of soft pine. If the end grain is ragged, the tool is not sharp enough. If there are only scratches on the end grain, tiny fragments of the wire edge may be left and continued polishing is needed. A truly sharp blade will leave a cut on the end grain that looks almost burnished.
About Vitrified Grinding Wheel
1.all bench and pedestal wheels must be dressed to prevent loading,loading can cause excessive heat, damage to the workpiece and wheel breakage.dressing exposes new cutting edges and provide chip clearance
2.Do not grind wood,plastic or any other non-metallic material on a bench or pedestal grinder
3. Wheel dressing
Single Point Diamond Tools
- Rigidly mount Single Point tools at a 10°-15° angle to the wheel centerline with a line drawn through the center of the wheel, pointing in the direction of wheel travel.
- Point of contact should be slightly below centerline of wheel.
- Use coolant whenever possible.
- Normal infeed is .001" per pass.
- Rotate the tool 1/4 turn periodically to maintain a sharp point.
Multi-Point Diamond Tools
- Most multi-point tools are used for straight face dressing.
- Tool should have full face contact with the wheel.
- With new tool, 3–5 passes should be taken to expose diamonds.
- Use coolant whenever possible.
- Use appropriate lead (and traverse rate).
About Cup Brush
1. Always ensure proper mounting of floorstang and swingframe wheels by mounting with arrow down as marked on wheel.
2. Always use safety guard
3. Always run wheel for 1 minute before grinding
4. For optimum performance, ensure adequate air pressure and air volume when using pneumatic machines
5. Use constant surface foot per minute machines for highest efficiency
6. Do not overdress the wheel face
7. Avoid loading or glazing by changing the contact angle
use pressure assist whenever possible to attain maximum cut rate
8. Maintain recommend air supply (pressure and volume) for highest efficiency
About Flap Disc
1.For comparable finish, use one grit coarser than resin fiber discs.
Operator type 29/27 flap disc at a 15°-25° angle; operate type 27(regular and jumbo/high density ) flap discs at an angle less than 15°,more severe angles will weaken flap edges
