able for grinding (i.e., strong enough to be
ground, etc.).
2.

for operation.
3.
Determines if operation requires parallel or
perpendicular grinding and adjusts frame tilt
as necessary.
4.
Adjusts platen tilt as desired.
5.
Installs and adjusts tool rest to support
workpiece, if feasible for operation, then
adjusts tool rest to allow maximum
ance between rest and belt.

on safety glasses, respirator, and face shield.
Takes all other required safety precautions.
7.
Starts machine and adjusts belt speed as
desired.
8.

ports it with fixtures as well as the operation
and setup allows, pushes workpiece into
belt, and moves it to different locations to
wear abrasive belt evenly and prevent it from
