6.7 To Commence Actual Grinding

NOTE With experience and familiarity setting / applying the cut can start here, speeding up the

set up procedure.

6.7.1 If the machine has them tted, CLOSE THE GUARDS.

6.7.2 Start the reel drive motor and check for smooth, easy running.

6.7.3 (If the machine has auto-traverse tted, start the traverse motor, rst ensuring that the

traverse engagement screw is unwound and not connected to the traverse chain.)

6.7.4 Now repeat the adjustment process with the left hand on the control wheel and the right

hand on the traverse handle (or traverse engagement knob), moving the grinding wheel

along the reel by hand using the handle (or traverse engagement screw), winding up the

left hand control wheel until the grinding wheel strikes and sparks gently against the reel.

6.7.5. Repeat this process on the right hand side of the reel, raising the shaft with your right hand

and moving the grinding wheel along with your left hand. Repeat this process until the

contact along the reel is even and parallel.

6.7.6 (If traverse is tted, screw in traverse knob to engage power traverse.)

NOTE: Check auto traverse is changing direction at correct point at each end of its movement.)

6.7.8 Place hands on the left and right control wheels and move both hand wheels clockwise

the same amount to apply an even cut. Apply a good hard cut. Do not be afraid of the

aggressive nature of the grinding process.

6.7.9 Traverse the stone from side to side with a steady, even action to grind the reel, applying

extra in-feed as necessary.

NOTE: It is important that the control wheels are moved equally.
