Identification and Description of the Grinder

Grinding Essentially a double ended motor, with a mounting base, the motor

machine flanges mount the wheel guards. The motor base contains the NVR

switch and mounts the machine lamp. The base also has four 15mm

holes cast into it to facilitate mounting the grinder to a stand or bolting it

down to a bench.

Wheel guards Two formed metal guards that enclose the grinding wheels. They are each

formed in two parts. The inner part is mounted onto the motor flange, and

the outer part is bolted to it. There are various ‘hard point locations’ with

captive nuts fitted, that accept the fixing bolts that secure the attachments

of the machine.

Tool rests Formed castings that comprise the tool rest mounting arm and the tool

rest proper. They are bolted into two hard points on the lower inside

edges of the wheel guards.

Eye shield/ Clear protective shields with an integrated magnifiying glass for close up

spark guards inspection of work that mount over the grindstone to afford a view of the

workpiece, but offer protection for the eyes, They are mounted onto the

spark guards making a complete assembly that bolts through a hard point

on the upper part of the stone cover. The spark guard itself has an

elongated slot to allow positioning and adjustment as the wheel diameter

decreases. Their function is to contain any material (esp. sparks) that

would be tracked around the grindstone and sprayed out of the machine

esp. over the hands.

Work light Integral worklight, with flexible ‘move and stay’ column, energised with the

application of the mains power.

ON/OFF switch NVR switch, marked as standard with ‘I’ indicating ON and ‘O’ indicating

OFF.

Hold down holes Four holes that are formed in the base casting to enable the grinder to be

bolted down to the bench or a stand.

Dust extraction There are two 40mm dust extraction ducts integrated to the wheel guards

Ducts for the purpose of attaching a dust extractor.
