TROUBLESHOOTING (Continued) BEDKNIFE GRINDING
--POSSIBLE CAUSE-- --REMEDY-- --REASON----PROBLEM--
A--Grinding wheel rim is not
completely over the top face
being ground.
Grinding head is traversing too
fast.
The top face of
the bedknife is
ground unevenly
across the width.
Too coarse a
grind on bed-
knife.
When the rim doesn't
extend over the top face, it
wears unevenly and causes
grooves across the bed-
knife.
Traversing speed controls
the grinding surface texture.
A slower traverse produces
grind marks closer together.
The wheel rim must extend
over the bedknife top face by
1/2" [13 mm] whenever
possible. See Operators
Manual. If not possible, dress
the wheel more often.
Slow down the traversing speed
to 12 FT/MIN.
