Grinder Wheel Help
Kevin Kelly, WV
>I have the 8" slow speed grinder that Woodcraft carries; it came with 60 and 100 grit white wheels. It seems to me that they cut slowly and fill up with metal from the tool really quickly, and i'm trying to be careful - in David Ellsworth's words - to dress the bevel, not grind the tool. Has anyone else experienced this problem, or am i doing something wrong? BTW, the wheels are Dean brand.
Also, after i dress them (or sharpen or clean or whatever one does with the wolverine diamond jig), the cutting surface of both wheels is pretty smooth, considerably smoother than the sides. Is this normal or a problem? If it's problematic, could it be contributing to the above problem.
What do i need to do?
Thanks,
kevin
