The speed at which many grinding wheels operate renders it necessary for us to use them carefully. We must know what we are doing—trial and error is too costly.
Here are some important directions for safe handling of a grinding wheel. See that your employees know them, and that they follow every one of them:
When wheels are received they should be carefully inspected for damage and given a ring test before storing. A ring test should be given again before wheel is mounted. Attention must be paid to where and how wheels are stored. Wet wheels have been known to break or crack when stored at freezing temperature.
When taking wheels out of storage, make sure you get the right wheel for the job you have to do.
Should a wheel break, the cause should be ascertained and the immediate inspection made to make sure the guard has not been damaged nor the spindle and the flanges sprung out of true or out of balance.
