Surface Grinding

Horizontal Spindle - straight T-1, T-5, or T-7 Wheels:
Problem	Possible Causes	Suggested Correction
Chatter	Poor quality coolant Wheel too hard Wheel out of balance Set up not rigid	Check coolant concentrator Use softer grade wheel Balance the wheel Check the clamping
Poor Finish	Dress traverse too fast Wheel too soft Grinding rate too fast	Slow dress traverse Use harder grade wheel Slow grinding rate
Burn	Wheel too hard Wheel too fine Poor coolant application Grinding rate too fast	Use softer grade wheel Use coarser grit wheel Adjust coolant flow/check concentrator Slow grinding rate
Wheel Loading or Glazing	Depth of cut too small Poor coolant quality Dressing tool worn	Dress wheel by increasing feed & traverse Change coolant or use high detergent type Replace diamond and use coarse dress
Vertical Spindle - T-2 or Segments:
Problem	Possible Causes	Suggested Correction
Chatter	Segments too hard Interrupted cut and set up not rigid	Use softer grade segments Adjust loading and blocking or clamping
Poor Finish	Segments too soft Grinding rate too fast	Use harder grade segments Slow grinding rate
Burn	Segments too hard Grinding rate too slow Poor coolant application	Use softer grade segments Increase grinding rate Adjust coolant flow
