What to do if Grizzly G2790 has burned spots or cracks in the workpiece?
- J
  Jeffrey HunterAug 18, 2025
  If you notice burned spots or cracks on your workpiece, it could be due to several reasons. You might be using the wrong type of grinding wheel, so ensure you're using the correct one. The feed rate might be too slow, in which case you should increase it. Alternatively, the depth of cut could be too great; try reducing it and making multiple light passes. Lastly, the workpiece may be overheating. To prevent this, grind in short durations and allow the workpiece to cool in between.

  If your grinding wheel clogs and the workpiece shows burn marks, it could be due to a few reasons. The wheel grade might be too hard, so consider using a softer grade. Also, your feed rate might be too slow, so try increasing it. Another potential cause is that the wheel was dressed incorrectly. Lastly, make sure you are grinding ferrous materials only.

How to fix a wavy pattern on the workpiece surface with a Grizzly G2790 Grinder?
- K
  Kayla SolisAug 22, 2025
  A wavy pattern on the workpiece surface can occur for several reasons. First, the machine might be vibrating, so try to shim or tighten the mounting hardware. Second, the workpiece might be loose in the clamping device, so make sure to correctly re-clamp it. Third, the wheel face could be uneven. Finally, the wheel grade might be too hard, so consider using a softer grade wheel and reduce the depth of cut and feed rate.

  Lines on the workpiece surface can be caused by an impurity on the wheel surface or if the workpiece is loose in the clamping device. In the first case you should dress the wheel. In the second case, ensure you correctly re-clamp the workpiece.

Why does the Grizzly Grinder cutting tool get ground unevenly from one side to the other?
- M
  Ms. Linda Chan MDAug 27, 2025
  If your cutting tool is being ground unevenly, it could be because the tool is not properly clamped, so properly re-clamp it. Another reason could be that the grinding table and wheel are not level with each other; push down or pull up the grinding table to make it level with the wheel. The wheel may also be damaged, in this case replace the wheel.

Why does the wheel on my Grizzly G2790 dull quickly, and the grit falls off?
- J
  johnsonchelseaAug 30, 2025
  If the wheel dulls quickly and the grit falls off, it could be due to several reasons. The depth of cut might be too great, so reduce it and take multiple light passes. The wheel grade might be too soft, so use a harder grade of wheel. The wheel may have been exposed to moisture, so store the wheel away from moisture and replace it if necessary. Finally, defective wheel bonding can also cause this issue, so replace the wheel.
