Maintaining
Grinding Wheel
Grinding wheels can be easily damaged, so it is
important to store them properly. Follow all wheel
manufacturer storage instructions. Always store
grinding wheels in a location that is dry and pro-
tected from potential damage due to them being
dropped or having other items dropped on them.
Also, avoid storing grinding wheels where there is
high humidity, extreme heat or cold, or solvents.
Depending on the type of grinding you do, the
grinding wheel may require periodic dressing.
New wheels are often out-of-round and require
truing. A wheel can become grooved or glazed if
it is not trued before use.
There are several different types of wheel dress-
ing devices available on the market (see Page 27
for an example). Dressing restores the abrasive
quality of the wheel surface and brings the wheel
edge back to a square form.
Refer to the instructions that accompany your
dressing accessory for complete details on how
to properly dress the wheel.
