On K. 0. Lee Universal Grinders, cylin
drical grinding is accomplished either by
using the standard spindle with the ma
chine or by obtaining a high-speed spindle
which has the capability of mounting both
Internal Diameter (I.D.) wheels and the
larger wheels for Outside Diameter (O.D.!
work.. Machines that have been supplied
with only a heavy-duty spindle will require
an additional spindle capable of achieving
Internal Grinding R.P.M. See Section Six.
Part IV, page 103, for a complete listing of
standard and available spindles for I.D. and
O.D. cylindrical grinding. These belt-driven
spindles in the grinder Wheelhead are used
in conjunction with a motorized workhead such as the B943, B2043, B6043, B9043 or
B10043 In Photo 57, the workhead spindle is belt-driven. As shown in Photo 58,
the belt-drive is used to turn the Drive Plate with the Dead Center Assembly
seated in the taper of the workhead spindle; the spindle is locked relative to the
workhead housing
If adequate space does not seem to be available between the workhead spindle
face and the wheel, move the workhead further to the left or use the two wheel-
head swivels (ABOVE AND BELOW THE DOVETAIL SLIDE) and the dovetail
slide to off-set the Wheelhead from the column farther to the right, thus moving
the usual wheel end of the spindle also to the right. Under extreme conditions, it
may be desirable to drive the spindle from the left side of the motor shaft exten
sion allowing the wheel to be placed on the right end of the spindle. If desired,
the spindle may be removed from the workhead and reversed with the usual pulley
end at the left side of the head and driven from this side. On the machine models
which have spindle wheel collets (arbors) on both ends, the belt-drive may re
main on the right side of the spindle even when certain wheels are mounted there
(Photo 59). Wheel guards can be attached to the right side of the spindle housing.
