Grinding Stones:
Grinding stones should only be assembled by a person holding a grinding wheel
certificate. There are generally two grades of grinding stone: fine stones are
preferred for hard materials and coarse stones for soft materials.
When grinding, should surface of the stone become “loaded” (coated with
particles of the material being ground) it is probably the wrong grade of stone for
the job. Contact your Jefferson Dealer for advice if required.
