Grinding and Cut-Off Wheels
Grinding Wheel Safety
DO
1. Always handle and store wheels in a careful manner.
2. Always visually inspect all wheels before
mounting for possible damage in transit. Resinoid
can only be checked visually for possible damage.
3. Always check maximum operating speed
established for wheel against machine speed.
4. Always check mounting flanges for equal and
correct diameter.
5. Always use a machine guard covering at least
one-half of the grinding wheel.
6. Always allow newly mounted wheels to run at
operating speed, with guard in place, for at least
one minute before grinding.
7. Always wear protective goggles or other
protective eye-wear when grinding.
DONT
1. Don't use a wheel that has been dropped.
The impact may result in breakage.
2. Don't force a wheel onto the machine or alter the
size of the arbor hole. Don't use a wheel that fits
the arbor too loosely. If the wheel doesn't fit the
machine, get one that does.
3. Don't exceed maximum operating speed
established for the wheel.
4. Don't use mounting flanges which are warped,
nicked, sprung, or which are not clean.
5. Don't tighten the mounting nut excessively.
On multiple screw mountings, 15 foot-pounds per
screw is usually enough.
6. Don't grind on the edge of the wheel unless wheel
is specifically designed for that purpose.
7. Don't start the machine unless the machine guard
is in place.
8. Don't stand directly in front of a grinding wheel
when a grinder is started.
9. Don't grind material for which the wheel is not
designed.
10. Don't use relieved or recessed flanges with
threaded hole cup wheels, cones or plugs.
Cut-off Wheel Safety
and Cutting Procedures
1. Cut-off wheels should never be stored on edges.
Instead they should be laid on solid flat surfaces
away from excessive heat to prevent warpage.
2. Machines must have adequate power transmission
and capacity, spindle speeds and proper guarding of
the wheel. It is best to have extra power to insure
good cutting efficiency.
3. Check the speed of the machine spindle against
the maximum speed specified for the wheel by the
manufacturer. The maximum specified speed for
the wheel should never be exceeded.
4. Flanges should be clean and straight and of same
diameter so wheel will run true. For wheel
diameters above 10" it is recommended flange be
at least 1/3 the diameter of the wheel.
5. The bore size of the wheel is so constructed that
the wheel should fit freely on the machine spindle
without any slack. Never attempt to force a wheel
on the spindle!
6. Always use blotters, when supplied with wheels.
7. Be sure the flanges are tightened securely but not
too tightly to avoid springing the flanges and change
the pressure area.
8. Be sure work piece is securely held down, including
both sides of the cut, if practical. Cut-off wheels
withstand a great deal of radial stress but not any
side stress. Even reinforced wheels are not
completely unbreakable. Side pressure must be
avoided to insure straight cuts and avoid possible
wheel breakage.
9. The wheel must be brought into contact with the
work without "bumping" or impact. The wheel
should cut freely without forcing and the speed of
the wheel should not be reduced by the cutting
operation.
10.Abrasive cutting generates a great deal of localized
heat which causes rapid expansion of the piece
being cut. Wheels operated at speed significantly
below efficient speed or if fed through the cut too
slowly will generate excessive heat. Result: Rapid
wheel wear fraying around edge of reinforced
wheels and wheel breakage.
Made with aluminum oxide for rapid metal removal
Wheels generate less heat than standard wheels
This helps to avoid heat cracks due to over heating
Outlasts ordinary wheels by up to 300%

Grinding Wheels
Flanges not matched
Both the fixed and loose flanges between
which a wheel is mounted must be of the
same diameter (minimum 1/3 diameter of
wheel) and properly relieved. See Fig. 5 for
an example of correct mounting. If they
are not the same diameter, the wheel is
under a bending stress which is likely to
cause fracture. (See Fig. 6) If they are not
properly relieved, the flange pressure is
concentrated on the sides of the wheel
near the hole, a condition which must be
avoided.
Distorted Flanges
Uneven flange pressures, caused by
distortion of the flanges due to excessive
tightening, create a dangerous condition.
When flanges are sprung or distorted, the
effective area of contact is reduced and
the pressure is moved nearer the hole.
(See Fig 7).
Outer Flange Omitted
Both flanges serve a useful purpose and it
is extremely dangerous to omit either.
In Fig. 8 the outer flange has been omitted
and the nut tightened directly against the
wheel. This sets up a cross bending stress
which is likely to break the wheel.
Substitute Flange
A washer is a dangerous substitute for a
properly relieved flange. (See Fig. 9) The
bending stress imposed is likely to cause
fracture of the wheel.
Outer Flange Reversed
The condition illustrated in Fig. 10 results
in unequal bearing against the wheel, and
has the same effect as using flanges of
unequal diameter.
Causes of Wheel Breakage
If the breakage of abrasive wheels could
be prevented, there would be no need for
a guard. Conversely, if all machines could
be completely guarded there would be no
cause for worry about wheel breakage.
However, both must be considered. Every-
thing must be done to prevent wheel
breakage and proper guards must be used.

Grinding Wheels
For safety reasons grinding and cut-off wheels with high peripheral speeds can only be used
in Germany if they have been tested and approved by the German Grinding Wheels Commit-
tee (DSA). These DSA standards are equal to and sometimes exceed A.N.S.I. Safety Code B7.1
1989 standards by a wide margin.
Warning!
Improper use may cause property damage or serious injuries. Comply with A.N.S.I.
Safety Code B7.1 and O.S.H.A. regulations. Use safety goggles and machine guards.
Proper Grinding Wheel Technique
Use the following grinding methods to achieve the desired aggressiveness
of stock removal and quality of finish.
A.N.S.I., DSA Approvals
For fast material removal increase the grinding angle between the
wheel and the work-piece.
For blending and finishing decrease the grinding angle and apply
light pressure and fluid motion.
Methods of Cutting
Abrasive wheels can cut materials such as steel, cast iron, non-ferrous metal, stone and
ceramics, glass, fire bricks, plastics and exotic material such as Titanium, Inconel, Hastalloy,
etc., fast accurately and economically.
Also suited for red-hot material exceeding 1000C e.g. rolled stock, continuous castings or
forgings. Also when cooled down, this material can still be cut.
In particular materials of high tensile strength which are difficult to saw, e.g. high tempera-
ture alloys, high-alloyed composite steels, but also stainless steels are the major use of
abrasive cutting wheels. A properly selected wheel and a high performance cut-off machine
are necessities for economical abrasive cutting.
Cut-off Machine Design
1. Adequate motor power and positive power transmission from drive to spindle.
The power required depends on the wheel diameter and the crosssection being cut.
2. The feed speed should be adequately rated in order to permit efficient cutting of cold
material up to 7.9"/sec. and red-hot material up to 13.8"/sec.
3. The work holding device should ensure rigid damping of work-piece
4. A well-functioning dust-extractor.
5. Wheel and belts must be well guarded.
There are a number of excellent designed cut-off machines on the market, from manually
operated swing frame cut-off machines (free-hand cutting operation) to remote controlled
machines with automatic bar feed and all functional parts totally enclosed.

Safety Information
Warning In normal power brushing operations
the material being removed, such as burrs,
scale, dirt, weld slag, or other residue will fly off
the brush with considerable force along with
brush filaments which break off due to fatigue.
The POTENTIAL OF SERIOUS INJURY EXISTS
for both the brush operator and others in the
work area (possible 50 or more feet from the
brush). To protect against this hazard wear
SAFETY GOGGLES or FULL FACE SHIELDS
WORN OVER SAFETY GLASSES WITH SIDE
SHIELDS, along with PROTECTIVE CLOTHING.
You must follow all operator and safety instruc-
tions, as well as all common safety practices
which reduce the likelihood of physical injury, or
reduce its severity.
Safety Goggles Safety goggles or full face
shields worn over safety glasses with side
shields MUST BE WORN by all OPERATORS and
OTHERS IN THE AREA of power brush opera-
tions. Comply with the requirements of ANS
Z87.1-1979 Occupational Eye and Face Protec-
tion.
Guards Keep all machine guards in place.
Speeds Observe all speed restrictions indi-
cated on brushes, containers, labels, or printed
in pertinent literature. MSFS means Maximum
Safe Free Speed (RPM) spinning free with no
work applied. For reasons of safety, MSFS
should not be exceeded under any circum-
stances.
Safety Standard Comply with the Safety
Standards of the Industrial Division of the
American Brush Manufacturers Association
and the American National Standards Institute
Standard ANS B165.1-1979 Safety Require-
ments Power Brushes and ANS B165.2. Staple
Set Power Brush Safety.
Protective Equipment Appropriate protec-
tive clothing and equipment must be used where
there is a possibility of injury that can be
prevented by such clothing or equipment.
WARNING! FAILURE TO OBSERVE SAFETY
PRECAUTIONS MAY RESULT IN INJURY.
BRUSH USAGE RECOMMENDATIONS
Pressure Avoid excessive pressure when
using a power brush. Excessive pressure
causes over-bending of the filaments and heat
build-up resulting in filament breakage, rapid
dulling, and reduced brush life. Instead of
greater pressure on a brush, it is suggested
that you try: 1 ) a brush with a more aggressive
cutting action (increased wire size, decreased
filament length, change to a different brush
type, i.e., knot type instead of crimped wire
type), or 2) higher speed (increased R.P.M.,
increased brush diameter.)
Important Note: Never exceed the recom-
mended Maximum Safe Free Speed R.P.M.
(MSFS) rating of the brush.
Self-Sharpening When using wire wheel
brushes periodically reverse the direction of
rotation to take advantage of the self-sharpen-
ing action that will result. This may be accom-
plished by removing the brush from the spindle
and turning it side for side and remounting
securely.
Brushing Problems Do Not Allow Unsafe
Conditions To Continue. Occasionally, due to
worn bearings, a bent spindle, an unusual
application, operator abuse, or inappropriate
use, a brush may fail. A brush which is not
received in acceptable condition for trouble-free
operation may also fail. Do not use or continue
to use a failed brush or one which is functioning
improperly (i.e., throwing filaments, out-of-
balance, etc.) as this increases the possibility
for further brush failure and hazard of injury.
The cause of the failure should be evaluated and
corrected.

General Information
POWER BRUSH APPLICATIONS
Deburring Power brushes are widely used to
remove burrs created by other machining op-
erations. Power brushes can completely remove
burrs without creating secondary burrs or
leaving two sharp edges. Unlike grinding tools,
brushes are selective to an edge; they will
remove the burr but none of the base material.
Surface Finishing Power brushes are excel-
lent tools for improving surface finishes to gain
a desired appearance. Brushes do not remove
the base metal. They remove only the metal
particles left on surfaces which have been
ground or abrasive polished. Power brushing
also tends to relieve stress created by other
machining operations. Many different surface
finishes can be obtained by using power
brushes.
Edge Blending Power brushes are ideal for
developing a rounded corner at the juncture of
two surfaces. Power brushes perform this
application without removing material on the
surface adjacent to the edge or changing the
part tolerance. This reduces stress concen-
tration and part fatigue, increases part life and
improves the surface finish.
Roughening Power brushes are uniquely
suited for creating better bonds on surfaces
such as rubber, leather, plastics, and nonferrous
metals. Surfaces can be roughened prior to
painting or bonding to achieve better adhesion.
Cleaning Power brushes are distinctly
suited for removal of surface film, dirt, rust.
heat treat scale, weld slag, corrosion and paint.
Power brushes also remove varnish and insula-
tion from electrical wire, motor stators, etc.
Fiber, synthetic and fine stainless steel brushes
can be used for wet-cleaning operations.
ADVANTAGES OF POWER BRUSHES
Rugged construction the only surface
cleaning and conditioning tool tough enough to
stand up under prolonged heavy use.
Easy on equipment brushes are nonabrasive
so they do not produce equipment-destroying
abrasive dust.
True selective cutting brushes act as an
impact tool removing surface contamination with
millions of tiny hammer blows without cutting
away any base material as abrasives will.
Power Brushes remove surface contaminates
such as oxides, rust, dirt or other residuals and
leave a smooth clean surface.
Stress relieving and surface conditioning
brushing action produces the same effect as
shot peening (a method used to increase the life
of highly stressed parts in aircraft and race
cars) without adding extra operations. Brushing
will not change part tolerances.
Brushes are nonloading Unlike woven,
bonded and coated abrasives, brushes will not
load when brushing soft materials.
BRUSH FILL MATERIALS WIRE TYPES
HT Is high tensile, heat treated steel wire
which has excellent fatigue resisting and fast
cutting qualities. This wire is used in all steel
filled power brushes in .008 diameter and above
unless otherwise indicated.
TC Is hard drawn wire generally used in
.005 and .006 diameter where aggressive
cutting action is required for fine surface work.
Stainless (Type 302) Is highly corrosion
resistant and should be used where contamina-
tion or after-rust is a problem, such as in brush-
ing aluminum or stainless steel parts. ALL STAIN-
LESS STEEL BRUSHES ARE MADE WITH TYPE
302 STAINLESS.
To the layman, most stainless steel looks
alike. Stainless steel brush wire is slightly mag-
netic because it is cold worked to make it hard.
Type 302 Stainless Steel will lose its magnetic
properties if a wire strand is heated red with a
match. If the wire strand retains its magnetic
properties after heating, it is not Type 302
Stainless Steel.

Power Brush Operating Instructions
BRUSHING SPEEDS
1. Power brushes as cutting tools have a most
efficient speed and pressure for specific
operations. In most operations the highest
speed and lightest pressure will assure
fastest cutting action and longest brush life.
2. Using as fine a wire as possible usually
results in longer brush life. Increasing the
speed of a brush increases the face hard-
ness and cutting action; therefore, a fine wire
brush rotating at a higher speed will often
produce the same results as a coarser wire
brush rotating at a slower speed. Finer wires
operating at a higher speed is generally
preferred and will normally provide longer
brush life.
3. MSFS - Maximum Safe Free Speed (RPM)
specified in this catalog and on the product
are the maximum speeds which the brushes
may be used safely and are not necessarily
the optimum speed for a given application.
Operating speed should be determined by the
application, but should not exceed the MSFS
(RPM) for which the brush is rated.
BRUSHING PRESSURE
1. Remember . . . the tips of a wire brush do the
work. Operate the brush with the lightest
pressure so only the tips of the wire come in
contact with the work.
2. If heavier pressures are used, the wires will
be over-stressed, resulting in a wiping action;
and if this is continued, the life of the brush
will be shortened due to wire fatigue.
3. Apply the work to the face of the brush in
such a way that as much of the brush face
as possible is in full contact with the work.
Applying the work to the side or edge of the
brushing tool will result in wire breakage and
shortened brush life.
4. Reversing the brush rotation periodically will
tend to increase the life of the brush. This
results in the re-sharpening of the wire tips
or ends, insuring faster cutting action.
Brushing Action
There are many variables in Power Brushing
conditions. In many cases, one or more power
brushes may accomplish the same results;
however, if one brush does not accomplish the
desired results follow the suggestions below:
Flexibility
Long trim brushes are more flexible and are
able to follow contoured surfaces. Conversely,
short trim brushes are faster acting and suited
for more severe brushing action.
USE BRUSHES INSTEAD OF:
Abrasive Belts
Harsh Chemicals
Non-Woven Nylon Products which
wear rapidly
Hand Filing
Sand Blasting
Steel Wool

HORSE POWER
The factors affecting the horse power required for power
brushing are as follows:
1. Speed of the brush.
2. Brushing pressure required in application.
3. Resistance between the work and the brush.
The chart to the right provides a guide for determining the
horsepower required, based on medium brushing action for
1" brush face.

Polyflex Encapsulated Brushes
Encapsulated with a Specially Formulated Elastomer
Features and Benefits of the Elastomer:
1. The brush wires are molded into a specially formulated elastomer.
This allows for a very controlled brushing face for very aggressive cutting action.
The job can be completed in fewer passes.
The elastomer wears away as the brush is used, continually exposing new tips and
keeping a perpetual short trim to prevent long wire breakage. This makes the brush
safer to use than regular wire brushes.
This allows for a very long brush life and fewer change-overs.
Prevents smearing of the work piece and allows for less re-work time.
2. Constructed for perfect balance.
No vibration during use allows for lower equipment maintenance and consistent
performance.
3. Made with HT heat treated high carbon steel wire.
Provides greater tensile strength again allowing for fewer change-overs.
Fatigue resistant to provide for a longer brush life.
100% recyclable.
Elastomers are Color Coded:
Burgundy (Standard) Wears away easily and is suitable for most manufacturing
applications.
Orange (Heavy Duty) Somewhat harder than the burgundy. It is used for the more
demanding applications found in heavy steel fabrication environments and for demanding
deburring applications.
Black (Extra Heavy Duty) A heat stabilized elastomer that does not wear away easily.
It is used primarily for cleaning pipeline welds.
Applications:
Heavy burr removal in slots and narrow confined areas.
Surface refinement and juncture blending.
Rubber and plastic flash removal.
Heavy weld scale removal.
Heavy duty cleaning.

Bench Grinding Wheels
Do Not Use Grinding Wheels
Unless You Follow These Rules
DO
1. DO always HANDLE AND STORE
wheels in a CAREFUL manner.
2. DO VISUALLY INSPECT all wheels
before mounting, for possible damage
in transit.
3. DO CHECK MAXIMUM OPERATING
SPEED established for wheel against
machine speed.
4. DO CHECK MOUNTING FLANGES for
equal and correct diameter. (Should
be at least 1/3 diameter of the wheel.
Relieved around hole for type 1 only.)
5. DO USE MOUNTING BLOTTERS
supplied with wheels.
6. DO be sure WORK REST is properly
adjusted. (Center of wheel or above;
no more than 1/8" away from wheel.)
7. DO always USE A GUARD covering
at least one-half of the grinding wheel.
8. DO allow NEWLY MOUNTED WHEELS
to run at operating speed, with guard
in place, for at least one minute before
grinding.
9. DO always WEAR SAFETY GLASSES
or some type of eye protection when
grinding.
10. DO TURN OFF COOLANT before
stopping wheel to avoid creating an
out-of-balance condition.
DONT
1. DONT use a wheel that HAS BEEN
DROPPED.
2. DONT FORCE a wheel onto the
machine OR ALTER the size of the
mounting hole if wheel wont fit the
machine, get one that will.
3. DONT ever EXCEED MAXIMUM
OPERATING SPEED established for
the wheel.
4. DONT use mounting flanges on
which the bearing surfaces ARE NOT
CLEAN AND FLAT.
5. DONT TIGHTEN the mounting nut
EXCESSIVELY.
6. DONT grind on the SIDE OF THE
WHEEL unless wheel is specifically
designed for that purpose.
7. DONT start the machine until the
WHEEL GUARD IS IN PLACE.
8. DONT JAM work into the wheel.
9. DONT STAND DIRECTLY IN FRONT
of a grinding wheel whenever a
grinder is started.
10. DONT grind material for which the
WHEEL IS NOT DESIGNED.
This page is designed as a guide for the individual user of grinding wheels whether he be in
the employ of a large corporation or in the confines of his home work shop. It is based on
the premise that grinding is a safe operation when a few basic rules are followed. These
rules are based on material contained in the American Standards Association Safety Code
B7.1 Use, Care Protection of Abrasive Wheels. FOLLOW THEM.
Damaged Or Improperly Used Wheels Can Cause Serious Injury
DO NOT OVERSPEED WHEEL

Bench Grinding Wheels
Applications:
Rough and medium grinding of welded
seams in one grinding operation
Deburring
Rust removal
Snagging
Edge grinding
Surface grinding
Working of fillet welds
Materials
For aggressive grinding and
weld removal.
For alloyed and low-alloyed
steels, stainless steels of
low tensile strength.
High-alloyed, stainless,
high temperature and heat
treatable steels, and high
tensile non-ferrous steels.
Recommended for a fine
finish of metal surfaces.
Grit Size

120
A coarser grit offers the advantage of a
high stock removal rate and service life.
A finer grit should only be used if a com-
promise is necessary for surface finish
vs. stock removal rate.
Power Flap discs have a unique
feature in that their glass fiber backing
and abrasive material wear simulta-
neously during the grinding operations.
Therefore the grinding efficiency is not
impaired and the backing disc does not
damage the surface of the work-piece.
Quality and performance differences
are not visible during short performance
tests. The excellent performance fea-
tures of the Power Flap's extremely long
service life and constant high stock re-
moval rate are only evident after long
use and only after the flap disc has
been consumed.
Grit Recommendations
A fully consumed POWER FLAP
Optimum Results Using Flat and Conical Wheels
The choice between using a flat or a conical
wheel depends on the type of application.
The flat Power Flap wheel reaches
its optimum efficiency at an angle of
application between 0 - 15 degrees.
The conical Power Flap wheel
offers advantages when grinding with
steeper angles of 15 - 25 degrees.
Points to note for good surface finish:
If a lower grinding angle is possible,
the flat Power Flap wheel achieves better
surface finish than the conical type
with the same grit size.
When grinding stainless and high
temperature steels these angles can
be slightly exceeded if necessary.
The wheel grinds
continuously
as it wears

Features:
Each specific disc type has features and benefits unique to the particular application for
which it was designed.
Electrostatic coating process orients the sharpest cutting edge of the grain upward and
allows for uniform grain coverage, providing for maximum aggression.
Individually coated. This process assures consistent grain dispersion to the outermost
edge and most important cutting area of the disc.
Completely sealed (front and back) to maintain the moisture content of the fibre,
significantly extending shelf life under extreme changes of atmospheric conditions.
Preshaped to maintain proper assembly relationship between the disc and back-up pad
for Right Angle Grinders
By far the most popular coated abrasive product
used in industry, these resin fibre discs are con-
structed with a heavy vulcanized fibre back and
coated with abrasive grains and bonded with a tough,
heat resistant resin.
Applications:

the latest generation of
synthetic metal cutting
minerals, was developed for
the most demanding grinding
and finishing applications.
Very high rate of cut
extended life expectancy.
Self-sharpening grain
ensures consistent
performance during the
entire life of the disc.
Excellent performance
on stainless steel.
Recommended for heavy
weld and metal grinding.
High performance disc
with a fast cut rate.
Tough self-sharpening
grain.
Requires medium to heavy
operator pressure for
optimum performance.

virtually eliminate
"loading", the build-up
or removed material
on the disc surface.
For light, general
purpose grinding
of various metals.
Ideal for rust and
scale removal.
Tough and durable.
Most commonly
used grain for
metal working
applications.

Square Pads
with Quick Change Eyelets
Aluminum Oxide Resin Bond Cloth 80 Grit
Square pads work on the principle that in rotating at reasonable high speeds the intermit-
tent strokes of the corners provide both a fast cutting and buffing action. The grain pro-
vides the cutting action and the cloth backing provides the buffing effect. Does not leave a
pattern on the work. These pads are great for finishing of forging dies, Kirksite dies, molds,
metal patterns, fillets and corners. They conform to radii.

A very practical tool for deburring of lightening holes, tubing,
and the polishing of inside diameters. Ideal, too, for finishing
and polishing of molds, since it is possible to see through the
pad in motion, like an airplane propeller, closer tolerances are held.
Made of Aluminum Oxide Resin Bond Cloth. They are designed to conform to the surface,
making them ideal for contour finishing. Abrasive material on both sides.
