Grinding Wheels 

The JET Series bench grinders come equipped 
with  general  purpose  grinding  wheels.  Wheels 
vary  according  to  types  of  abrasive,  hardness, 
grit size, and structure. JET carries a full line of 
abrasive  grinding,  carbide  grinding,  tool 
sharpening, and wire wheels. Contact your local 
distributor  for  the  proper  grinding  wheel  or  wire 
wheel brush for your application. 

Wire Wheel Brushes 

Wire  brushing  provides  a  fast  way  to  remove 
rust  scale,  burrs,  and  point  from  metal.  Use 
coarse wire brushes for hard cleaning jobs. Use 
fine  wire  brushes  for  polishing  and  finish  work. 
When  the  brush  tips  become  dull,  reverse  the 
brush on the grinder. 

Cleaning 

 

Metal  shavings  may  still  be 

hot  from  recent  grinding  operations.  Make 
sure  shavings  and  debris  are  cold  before 
cleaning the grinder. 

Brush all shavings from the motor housing, tool 
rests, and wheel guards. Check grinding wheels 
for cracks and chips. Replace if damaged. 

 

Avoid  the  use  of  the 

following  cleaning  chemicals  or  solvents: 
gasoline,  carbon  tetrachloride,  chlorinated 
solvents, 

ammonia 

and 

household 

detergents containing ammonia. 

 

Lubrication 

All motor bearings are permanently lubricated at 
the factory and require no additional lubrication.
