Congrats! With the right wheels, that will grind HSS just fine. They work well for brazed carbide tooling, which is what I think they were intended for. For inserted carbide, an Accu-finish works well.
Expensive tool, and that one looks brand new! Very nice.
Mikey, I do a lot of Business with Baldor I mentioned to my salesman a month or two ago that I wanted to start grinding HSS this was sitting in my office this morning!!!!! I couldn’t justify buying something like this personally it floored me. Any advice on wheels would be much appreciated.
Maybe see if they have a coarse wheel and a fine one. I know that 80 grit will shape a HSS tool and I would guess that a 220 or finer will get the coarse marks off.
Aluminum Oxide wheels are plentiful. You'll have to ask the guys with a tool and cutter grinder for recommendations.
I don't use wheeled grinders for tool grinding; I use a belt sander. Do you happen to know the Wilton or Burr King salesman?
