Wheel Start Up Procedure

Do not stone the wheel, wet or dry, when it is newly mounted on the grinder.

1.Grind a piece of glass and check/adjust for size , centering ,and edge finish.

2.Run 2-3 pieces of glass at half the normal grinding speed. Check the edge of chips/burns.

3.If edge finish is satisfactory, progressively increase the grinding speed to the required maximum.

4.If chips/burns exist, turn off the coolant, and dress (stone) the wheel with an aluminum oxide stick. The stick should be of the same thickness of the glass ground and soaked in water before being used. Use approximately 3" of this wet stick. Run 2-3 more pieces of glass at half the normal grinding speed with the coolant turned on, and check the edge finish.

5.If chips/burns still exist, repeat steep 4.

6.If step 5 does not produce satisfactory edge quality, send the wheel back to manufacturer or retruer, and replace with a new wheel.
