VIEL CARBIDE SHARPENING CENTER AF-10 \\ 4x4 Wes BASIC MACHINE‘SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS + ALWAYS WEAR SAFETY GOGGLES OR A FACE SHIELD. Also use face or dust mask. Never let clothing, hair, jewelry or other loose articles get between rotating wheel and machine or work piace fixture, Keep work area clean Never use a wheel that has been dropped or damaged, Never stand in front of the whee! when machine is started. Keep children away. Be sure all guards are in place before operating equipment. Never remove or modify safety guards. Make a habit of checking to see that keys and adjusting wrenches are removed from tool before turing it on. Disconnect machinery from the power source before servicing or when changing accessories. Make sure switch is in ” OFF * position before plugging in. Never leave tool running unattended Don't leave machine until it comes to 2 complete stop, Use right tool. Don't force tool to do a job for which itis not designed Use recommended accessories, GENERAL INFORMATION GRIT AND CONCENTRATION Diamond wheels do not require dressing, as resinous or vitrified wheels do. They are classified by both grit and concentration. Grit refers to the actual size of the diamonds on the wheel. Coarser grains enable greater arinding performance, finer grains increase the finish quality, but decrease the stock Temoval capacity. CLEANING YOUR DIAMOND WHEEL Diamond wheels will require considerable investment and you will want to care for them accordingly. Never use them for sharpening solid ste! blades, as this will result in loading and possible damage to the bonding material holding the diamonds on the wheel. Diamond wheels will log after extensive use, and light cleaning will be required. When the grinding action of the wheel has decreased, you should use the cleaning stick provided to restore the ‘cutting surface of the wheel. The cleaning stick is not a dressing brick. INCREASING DIAMOND WHEEL LIFE Uneven wear will cause premature replacement of your diamond wheel. Be sure to grind all the way across the face of the diamond wheel on each pass to insure even wear. When mounting the diamond ‘wheel tighten the flange nut only finger tight. The rotation of the motor will self tighten the wheel. WARRANTY ‘Within two years form the date of purchase, VIEL TOOLS will repair free of charge, ‘any mechanical parts which have been found to be defective when operated under NORMAL conditions. Grinding wheels and grinder are covered by manufacturers, warranty. Any modification voids this warranty. The retum charges will be paid by the ‘customer.INSTALLATION AND ADJUSTMENT 1) Securely mount the AF-10 base (A) to the workbench with bolts or screws in each of the four corners. 2) Remove guards, grinding wheels, flanges and rubber bumpers from the bench grinder (B) 3) Fix the bench grinder to the base. Hand tighten the nuts, J igure 1 FIGURE 4) Using the included hex key, retract all setscrews that are projecting past the relief face (wheel side) of the grinding wheel truing disc (C), (Fig.1). 5) Put the grinding wheel truing disc (C), the diamond wheel (D) and an outside flange on the bench grinder shaft and tighten. 6) Put the aluminium rule (E) in the index support and tighten with the lever (F) (Fig.2), 7) Loosen the forward and back travel screws (G),(Fig. 1),FIGURE 2 FIGURE 3 8) Tum the handwhee! (H)(Fig.3) until the aluminum rule contacts the diamond wheel 9) Sweep the aluminum rule (E)(Fig.4) back and forth to make contact at the top and bottom at front and back positions. To achieve this it may be necessary to shim between base and grinder with thin washers, Finally fasten grinder to base. FIGURE 4 FIGURES 10) Use the original screws of the grinder to fix the shaft cover (J) (right) and the wheel guard (L) (lef). NEVER RUN THE MACHINE WITHOUT THE GUARDS.DIAMOND WHEEL ADJUSTMENT WITH THE GRINDING WHEELTRUING DISC 41) Retract completely all setscrews that are projecting past the relieved face (wheeiside) of the grinding wheel truing disc, Put the truing disc (C), the diamond ‘wheel and an outside flange on the bench grinder shaft and tighten. 2) Place a magnetic-based dial indicator (K) on your machine. Set the stylus to measure the lateral wheel run-out (Fig. 6). 3) Rotate the diamond wheel by hand until you find the lowest and the highest reading. Then go to the lowest dial reading and close the nearest setscrew one- half the maximum distance the dial moves. 4) Tum the grinding wheel by hand and check for the lowest and highest dial reading, Repeat this operation until wobble is not more than .001", Finally tighten lightly all setscrews. Make a final check IMPORTANT : ALWAYS COMPLETELY RETRACT ALL SETSCREWS WHEN USING REGULAR ALUMINIUM OXYDE WHEELS, OTHERWISE THIS MAY CAUSE. SPLITING UP OF THE GRINDING WHEEL.

Clean with a caustic organic solvent and a fine wire brush . Care should be exercised to prevent dulling the saw tips. ‘SAWBLADE TERMS AND DEFINITIONS FIGURE 11 FIGURE 12 PRIMARY TOP. NCE ANGLE (Fig. 12) ‘The angle that the top of the tooth has to insure that only the cutting point comes into contact with the material to be cut. SECONDARY TOP CLEARANCE (Fig.12) ‘The angle put on the steel saw body behind the saw tip. This clearance should be ‘maintained after several sharpening tooth top sharpenings. Never grind the steel body with the diamond wheel. HOOK ANGLE ( -10° to 30°) (Fig 12) ‘The angle that the face ofthe tooth makes to a line drawn from the blade center. FACE BEVEL (5° to 20° )(Fig. 13) ‘The angle that the face of the tooth makes to a line drawn perpendiculariy to the body of the blade. TOP BEVEL ANGLE (0° to 25°) (Fig.14) ‘The angle that the face of the tooth makes to a line drawn perpendicularly to the body of the blade. The angle alternates from one side to the other around the blade. CHAMFER ANGLE OR CHIP ANGLE (30° to 45° (Fig. 14) ‘This angle is measured from the top of the tooth and alternates around the blade.FIGURE 13 TOOTH FACE GRINDING FIGURE 14 | 41) Install the saw on the support (Fig. 16(a)), set the position support to place the gullet of the saw on the circumference of the magnet support (Fig.15(b)), to avoid Vibrations when grinding FIGURE 15 2) Adjust height of the saw.

NOTE : Itis not necessary to use the index when face grinding. 5) Start the machine with the saw tooth away from contact with the wheel. 8) Mark the first tooth to be ground with a felt tip marker and color the face (Fig. 19) 7) Forward the saw without any contact with the wheel.8) Apply a gente force to the sawblade (tooth) against the diamond wheel. Stroke forward, back and forth in 3 movements. Then bring the tooth back from the diamond wheel and check to see ifthe tip is ground on its full surface. Do this as many times as necessary to achiave a sharp cutting edge. Move back the blade, {g0 to the next tooth and begin again (Fig. 22). ‘TOOTH TOP GRINDING GENERAL INFORMATIONS. ‘Straight saw biades : Follow general ‘grinding steps below (Fig 23), Alternate top bevelled blades : Mark all teeth that have the same bevel and Proceed with the arinding operation in 2 steps : (1) and (2) (Fig. 24). 4 Teeth and rakor style blades : First grind alternate top bevel teeth. Grind 0° top bevel rakers at about 0.012” lower than all ‘others. Full grinding operation needs 3 steps : (1), 2) and (3) (Fig. 25). Triple chip style blades : First grind the chamfer angles. Grind 0° of those teeth and finish with the straight style teeth that are 0.010" to 0.016" lower than all others. Full agtinding operation needs 4 steps : (1), 2), (3) and (4) (Fig. 26), FIGURE 26 10TOOTH GRINDING STEPS 1) Match the primary top clearance (Fig 12) of the carbide tooth to the face of the diamond wheel (Fig.27). 2) Identify the highest tips and grind them first. (Use a dial gauge with magnetic base) (Fig.29). 3) Set the top bevel angle (0° 25°) (Fig.14). 4) Adjust the sharpening course with the adjustment screws (Fig.28). 5) Set the index finger (Fig. 28), 6) Forward the tooth against the diamond whee! and turn the handwheel +002" afier the first contact. Repeat this operation if the tocth is not completely ground. 7) Hold the lever and stroke back and forth in 3 movements, 8) Go to the next tooth and begin again. — Y NN hear al cas ace ‘E ‘On g NS FIGURE 27 hae | FIGURE 28 "ROUTER BIT SHARPENING" FIGURE 30 To preserve diamond wheel lifetime, remove gum {and inspect the carbide on the tool for cracks and Chipped teeth.
