Dick SM-100 Operating Instructions Manual page 63

Machining workpieces
1 Position the knife at the belt grinder so that the knife edge
[1] points in the direction of rotation of the grinding belt [2] or
the polishing wheel [2].
2 Align the workpieces horizontally so that they are positioned
roughly perpendicular [3] to the grinding belt.
3 Position the knife blade [4] on the grinding belt at an angle
of approx. 15 degrees [5].
4 When grinding, grind the sides of the workpiece alternately,
until a burr has formed over the entire area.
Workpieces heat during grinding
An over-heated blade can anneal (loss of hardness) and stress
cracks can form in it.
• After several grinding passes, cool the workpiece in a water
bath.
If the blade has become thicker as a result of frequent grinding,
the blade thickness can be reduced again by grinding the flat
sides.
