Grinding Wheels
Episode 87: Matching coolant velocity to wheel velocity
How do you know your coolant velocity? The Grinding Doc says the best — and perhaps most accurate — way to determine coolant exit velocity is with the Ol’ Bucket & Stopwatch Technique. It’ll take five minutes and tell you how close you are to wheel speed.
This is the 87th episode of the Grinding Doc video series, which is a monthly video series produced by Cutting Tool Engineering in collaboration with Jeffrey Badger, Ph.D., a grinding consultant and author of the Ask The Grinding Doc column in CTE.
Episode 86: Cup wheel grinding wearing thin
For the 86th episode in the Grinding Doc video series from Cutting Tool Engineering, Dr. Jeffrey Badger encourages shops to true a taper in the wheel when they perform cup wheel grinding.
Episode 85: Defining truing parameters, part three
Thanks to a collaboration between Dr. Jeffrey Badger and Rush Machinery in Rushville, N.Y., shops now have some practical guidelines when it comes to truing parameters. Badger shares some of this new-found advice in 85th episode of Cutting Tool Engineering's Grinding Doc video series.
PFERD demonstrates CC-GRIND-SOLID grinding wheel
PFERD Inc.'s CC-GRIND®-SOLID for controlled rough grinding applications integrates a fibreglass backer and a high-performance coated abrasive that is said to be 40 percent more productive than reinforced grinding wheels. To illustrate the point, PFERD filmed a demonstration comparing the CC-GRIND-SOLID to one of its own conventional rough grinding wheels and that of a competitor.
