Setup & Operation Assembly SECTION 2 SETUP & OPERATION Assembly Place the grinder on a table or workbench sturdy enough to support the weight of the machine. Be sure there is enough room on either side of the grinder to allow for the blade to travel.
Setup & Operation Assembly Blade Support Arms See Figure 2-2. Install a rubber bumper to each rear arm bracket with a provided #8-32 slotted hex head screw and self-locking hex nut. Install the left and right arm brackets to the rear of the grinder frame using two 1/4-20 x 1” hex head bolts, lock washers and flat washers per bracket.
Page 10
Setup & Operation Assembly See Figure 2-3. NOTE: If grinding blades shorter than 180”, see the next page for blade support tube installation. Use the extended support arm shown below for longer blades. Bolt the extended support arm to the threaded holes at the back-right of the grinder base with the four 1/4”...
Reinstall the oil hose through the hole in the grinder frame and connect to the fitting on the pump. Fill the oil tray with approved grinding oil available from Wood-Mizer. Fill the tray until the level is at least 1/2” the height of the pump.
Setup & Operation Assembly Grinder Hood See Figure 2-5. Install the grinder hood to the grinder frame, inserting the pivots into the brackets at the rear of the frame. Open the hood until it rests on the rear arm rubber bum- pers.
Setup & Operation Assembly Blade Clamp Rest Pins See Figure 2-6. When a blade travels through the grinder blade clamp, the blade is sup- ported by rest pins protruding from the rear clamp block. Five sets of holes are provided for the rest pins to accommodate different blade widths. Use the bottom set of holes for 2”...
Loosen the top oiler mounting bolt to move the oiler out of the way. Install the appropriate Wood-Mizer grinding wheel for the blades you plan to sharpen. Reinstall the flat washer and nut and hand tighten to secure the grinding wheel.
The grinder is capable of grinding blades with tooth spacing of 7/8” up to 1 1/8”. NOTE: A special cam is available to accommodate blades with 5/8” tooth spacing. Call Wood-Mizer customer service for more information. See Figure 2-8. To grind blades with 1 1/8” tooth spacing, the oiler trough needs to be extended using the provided spacer plate and longer mounting bolts.
Setup & Operation Assembly Electrical Connection Plug the power cord from the control box into a grounded 110-120 volt GFI receptacle. DANGER! For the user's safety, the power cord on this product has a grounded plug. This power cord should only be used with correctly grounded (3-hole) receptacles to avoid electrical shock.
Setup & Operation Operation Operation Blade Installation WARNING! Always wear gloves and eye protection when handling bandsaw blades. Changing blades is safest when done by one person! Keep all other persons away from area when coiling, carrying or changing a blade. Failure to do so may result in serious injury.
Page 18
Setup & Operation Operation Loosen the clamping bolt to extend or retract the blade support arm. Slide the support tube through the U-bolts so the guides can be positioned under the blade. Tighten the U-bolts and clamp bolt. Loosen the wing nuts on the blade support guides and adjust so the blade is positioned between the support posts.
Setup & Operation Operation Grinder Operation (Automatic Mode) WARNING! Always wear eye protection when operating the grinder. Failure to do so may result in serious injury. NOTE: Two modes are available to operate the grinder. For normal conditions, use automatic mode described below to set the grinder up for a cycle and grind the blade.
Page 20
Setup & Operation Operation See Table 2-1. The quantity of teeth on any particular blade depends on the length and tooth spacing of the blade. Common blade tooth quantities are provided below. Tooth Spacing 0.656” 0.875” 1.125” 144” 158” 178” 184”...
Page 21
Setup & Operation Operation See Figure 2-13. The depth and index adjustment knobs can be used to achieve the proper grind of the tooth. Turn the index adjustment knob in toward the other knob to move the tooth away from the grinding wheel. Turn the index adjustment knob away from the other knob to move the tooth toward the grinding wheel.
Page 22
Setup & Operation Operation Close the grinder hood and adjust the feed rate to the desired speed. The amount of material being removed will determine the feed rate to be used. If the teeth appear burnt after grinding, slow the feed rate down. During the grinding cycle, the display will show the number of teeth complete, the feed rate (teeth per minute) and the percentage of the cycle completed.
Setup & Operation Operation Manual Mode WARNING! Always wear eye protection when operating the grinder. Failure to do so may result in serious injury. NOTE: Two modes are available to operate the grinder. For normal conditions, use automatic mode to set the grinder up for a cycle and grind the blade (See page 2-12).
Setup & Operation Operation Diagnostics Mode The diagnostics mode is provided to allow the operator to check the input status of the index sensor, the grinder motor thermostats and the start/stop buttons. From the mode selection menu, press the #3 key or scroll to the Select Mode Diagnostics menu and press the enter key.
Setup & Operation Operation Setup Mode In setup mode, the user can adjust how the grinder functions. From the mode selection menu, press the #4 key or scroll to the Select Mode Setup menu and press the enter key. Scroll to the desired function and press the enter key or press the corresponding number key.
Oil Level Periodically check the oil level and refill with oil as necessary. The oil level should be at least half the pump height. Use only Wood-Mizer approved grinding oil. Filter the oil to remove metal shavings before reusing. Clean Grinder Clean metal shavings and oil overspray from the grinder and area surrounding after each day of operation.
Maintenance & Alignment Maintenance See Figure 3-1. Lubricate Index Cam Pivot A grease fitting is provided on the index cam pivot. Apply one to two squeezes of NLGI #2 lithium grease weekly to keep the index arm threads lubricated. Blade Wipers Loosen the blade wiper thumb screws and adjust the pads so they wipe oil from the blade as it passes through the pads.
Maintenance & Alignment Alignment Alignment WARNING! Always turn off and disconnect power before performing any service to the machine. Grinder Head Angle NOTE: The grinder head angle is set and pinned at the fac- tory and should not need adjusted unless the grinder is damaged or major components replaced.
Maintenance & Alignment Alignment Blade Clamp Position NOTE: The grinder/clamp position is set and pinned at the factory and should not need adjusted unless the grinder is damaged or major components replaced. If adjustment is necessary, remove the pins, adjust then drill a new hole and repin the assembly.
Page 30
Maintenance & Alignment Alignment See Figure 3-4. Place the provided spacer bar flat against the rear clamp plate. Install the provided alignment tool to the grinding wheel shaft. Install the provided 1/2” spacer washer and replace the arbor washer and nut. Hold the shaft with the provided tool and tighten the arbor nut.
Page 31
Maintenance & Alignment Alignment Assemble the wear plate to the rear clamp plate. See Figure 3-5. Reinstall the front clamp assembly to the grinder and tighten the clamp handle mounting bolts and the pivot bolt. Place a blade or piece of blade stock against the clamp wear pad and push the clamp handle to clamp the blade.
Page 32
Maintenance & Alignment Alignment See Figure 3-6. Before tightening the clamp mounting bolts, check the position of the clamp rollers in relation to the wear pad. Be sure the rollers are not centered directly in front of the edge of the pad. This could cause a kink in the blade when clamped. To adjust the horizontal position of the clamp rollers, tap the clamp assembly to move the rollers toward the index arm.
