A XMF grinding wheel is high-performance abrasive tool designed for cutting metal and stainless steel (inox). These wheels come in two common specifications: the 4.5-inch (115×3.0×22.23mm) model with a maximum speed of 13,300 RPM and the 7-inch (180×1.6×22.23mm) model rated for up to 8,600 RPM, both with a safe peripheral speed of 80 m/s.

A First, wear safety goggles and tight work clothes without gloves. Examine the wheel to rule out cracks. Install it securely and run it idle to test its stability. Stand sideways and hold the workpiece steadily. Grind slowly with even mild pressure. Cool the heated workpiece regularly. Avoid sharp impact and side grinding. Once finished, cut off the power and tidy up the working area.

A Always wear safety goggles and fitted work clothes, and never wear gloves. Check the wheel for cracks before operation. Stand sideways rather than facing the wheel directly. Grind with its circular surface and press gently without heavy force or impact. Cool the workpiece timely to prevent overheating. Do not grind soft materials. Stop the machine and clean the site after use.

A Workers must wear dust masks and safety goggles to block fine abrasive dust. Install exhaust dust collectors beside grinders to suck dust in real time. Keep the workshop well ventilated. Use wet grinding when possible to reduce flying dust. Clean grinding waste regularly instead of dry sweeping. Avoid long-time continuous grinding to cut dust output and protect respiratory health.

A Do not use grinding wheels with cracks, chips or uneven surfaces. Never apply a wheel whose maximum allowable speed is lower than the machine’s operating speed. Avoid using deformed, loose or improperly installed wheels. Also, stop using wheels that vibrate severely or have worn down beyond the safe limit to prevent accidents.

A The hardness of a grinding wheel is mainly affected by the bond type, bond content and manufacturing density. Higher binder content makes the wheel harder. In addition, firing temperature, pressing pressure and abrasive grain size also change its hardness performance.
