The Do's and Don't's of Cutting, Grinding & Polishing

In any type of machining job, being safe and productive with a high-quality output will rely heavily on whether or not the fundamentals of the job are taken care of.

How many of these do's and don'ts are you sticking to everytime you pull on the gloves?

	DO wear the correct PPE
	DO always use a safety guard and ensure that it is correctly positioned and securely fitted.
	DO always visually inspect all wheels before mounting for possible damage in transit.
	DO grind at an angle above 30 degrees to the work piece with a depressed centre grinding wheel.
	DO always have machine speeds checked regularly, especially after maintenance or repair, and perform regular maintenance.
	DO always use a machine in a comfortable position, where the work piece is held secure and firmly.

	DON'T use a machine without a wheel guard.
	DON'T exceed the maximum operating speed marked on the wheel.
	DON'T use wheels without proper ventilation or dust protection equipment.
	DON'T force a wheel onto a machine spindle, to do so can damage the wheel or the spindle.
	DON'T apply excessive pressure onto the wheel so that the driving motor slows down.
	DON'T use mounting flanges which are incorrect, damaged, dirty or burred.
	DON'T apply side pressure to cutting-off wheels. You should not bend the wheel.
	DON'T use blotters with depressed centre wheels less than or equal to 406mm (EN 12413).
	DON'T stop the wheel by applying pressure to the periphery or face. Always switch the machine off and allow the wheel to stop revolving.
	DON'T over-tighten the mounting nut or locking flange, to do so can distort the flange.
	DON'T allow the wheel to be trapped or pinched in the cut.
