Operating Procedures (Diamond Wheels)

Wheel mounting procedure

1.Use a wire brush or Scotch Brite type pad to clean the adapter plate. Wipe the adapter plate with a clean rag. Inspect the adapter plate to be free of ground glass or dirt.

2.Mount the new wheel on to the adapter with 3 mounting bolts in every alternate hole,(2 bolts for 3 hole mounting pattern) and tighten lightly.

3.Mount a level arm indicator on the center of the groove of the diamond impregnation. Do not indicate the steel on the sides of the diamond impregnation.

4.Rotate the wheel and read the indictor. If the I.I.R (radial runout)is more than 0.002"(0.05mm), tap the wheels high spots with a rubber ,brass ,lead ,or plastic mallet until an indicator reading of 0.002" or less is obtained. Do not use a steel hammer.

5.If the T.I.R is 0.002" or less, tighten the 3 mounting bolts, and install and tighten the others.

6.Recheck the T.I.R. to be in the tolerance range of 0.002". If not in tolerance, repeat step 4&5.

7.If the T.I.R of 0.002" cannot be obtained, remove the wheel and check the adapter plate for runout. The adapter plate runout must be 0.001"(0.025mm) or less. If the runout is out of tolerance, repair or replace the adapter. If it is within tolerance, send the wheel to manufacture or retruer for rework.
