Setting Tool Angle; Filling Reservoir - Grizzly T32720 Owner's Manual

Setting Tool Angle

The Model T32720 comes with an angle guide to
help identify and maintain the cutting angle on a
workpiece for grinding operations.
Note: Grinding wheels wear smaller through use,
so the angle guide will be most accurate with a
new, 10" diameter wheel.
To set tool angle:
Determine angle notch (see Figure 18) that
1.
best fits the tool you wish to grind by placing
beveled edge of tool into notches.
2. Place desired angle notch against grinding
wheel so angle guide edge creates guide for
positioning tool (see Figure 18).
3. Place tool tip between guide edge and wheel,
and adjust positioning of tool jig and tool
rest so sharpened edge of tool is flat against
both grinding wheel and guide edge (see
Figure 18).

Filling Reservoir

This machine is designed for wet grinding, and
the grinding wheel should never be used without
water filled to the top of the reservoir. Dry grinding
with this machine can damage not only the wheel,
but also the tool or the blade you are grinding. A
dry wheel will soak up a lot of water in the first 15
minutes of saturation, so be sure to add water as
needed before performing any grinding operation.
Clean and refill the reservoir whenever you notice
sediment in the water to keep from clogging the
wheel and decreasing the effectiveness of the
sharpener.
Tip: Place a magnet in the reservoir to catch and
collect metal filings. This will help prevent exces-
sive metal accumulation on the grinding wheel.
The mounting tabs on the reservoir attach to the
reservoir mounting slots (see Figure 19). Begin
by mounting the reservoir in the lowest mounting
slots, then move the reservoir to the higher slots
to keep the wheel running through the water as
the grinding wheel wears down.

DO NOT allow grinding wheel to stay
immersed in water for long periods of time
while unused. Water can saturate wheel,
causing it to become unbalanced and
potentially cause sections of wheel to break
off when sharpener is started. Always empty
or remove reservoir when grinding wheel
will not be used.
