•Cutting - grit projects far enough into surface to form a chip - material is removed •Plowing - grit projects into work, but not far enough to cut - instead, surface is deformed and energy is consumed, but no material is removed •Rubbing - grit contacts surface but only rubbing friction occurs, thus consuming energy, but no material is ...
The model specifications are designed to protect workers from inhaling silica-containing dust while grinding, cutting and sawing masonry. Implementation of these specifications will also protect the environment, property and public health and assist construction users and contractors in complying with local fugitive dust emission standards.
1. Welding, cutting, or grinding sparks can enter the ear and possibly cause permanent damage. Ensure eye and face protection complies with ANSI Z78.1 standard. 2. High noise levels from carbon-arc cutting, plasma-arc cutting, thermal spraying, and grinding can affect your hearing. 3. Always wear protective ear equipment as appropriate.
Grinding wheels lose their geomtry with use, truing restores the original shape. Truing grinds a small amount of material to expose new grinding media, and new cutting edges on worn glazed grains. As grinding wheels are used then tend to become loaded with lodged metal chips in the cavities. Dressing is used to remove the lodged metal chips.

The radius of the cut-ter or the grinding wheel surface is chosen in such a way that the teeth willeil'her mate along the full face width of the tooth or along only a section of the face width, as desired.
substantially deeper cut can be taken. In this case, the effective rake angle (perpendicular to the cutting edge) is 20 degrees and the cutting is very easy. A, B, and C are the three edges that must be created in grinding this configuration. Edge C is the cutting edge, and edges A and B, are associated with clearance angles.
grinding, such as wheel speed, coolant flow, maximum and minimum feed rates, and grinding depth. Grain size determines the physical abrasive size in the wheel. A larger grain will cut freely, allowing fast cutting but poor surface finish. Ultra-fine grain sizes are for precision finish work, where a fine surface finish is required. The wheel
