DAYTON Bench Grinders

Bench Grinders

Bench grinders are suitable for shaping, grinding and sharpening metal tools, tips, sheets and pieces in refurbishing, manufacturing and maintenance applications. These grinders generally feature an abrasive grinding wheel or belt that runs at high speeds to form, shape or smoothen a workpiece.
Dayton bench grinders use an electric motor for deburring, grinding, cleaning, sharpening and chamfering jobs of metal blocks or pieces. They have dynamically balanced armature assembly with sealed bearings for ensuring smooth running, noiseless operation and minimum vibrations. These Dayton grinders are equipped with grinding wheels or a wire brush having a large wheel to wheel clearance and OSHA compliant wheel guards for easy grinding of longer items and increased user safety. Dayton grinders have two separate wheels having different grit sizes for catering to diverse types of grinding & abrasive applications. They have heavy duty enclosed motors with 1/3 to 3 hp power outputs for rotating the wheels continuously at maximum speeds ranging from 1725 to 3450 rpm. The motors can also be fitted with a variable speed, controlled by a mechanical dial to change the wheel rotation speed. These Dayton bench grinders can be adjusted easily by the users to allow efficient tilt & angle grinding applications. They also have safety features like adjustable safety eye shields & easily positioned spark guards with hurricane bolts for protecting users & surrounding machinery from injuries or fire hazards. These Dayton grinders have aluminium & steel or cast iron construction for strength & corrosion resistance. Selected Dayton grinders have a pedestal floor stand with a quench tray for operating the unit while standing & reducing frequent bending related injuries to users. Some models of Dayton grinders come with a patented single dust port collection system for cleaning away grounded materials from the industrial work environments.
Choose from a wide range of these Dayton grinders, available in wheel diameters of 6, 8, 10 and 12 inches.

Uses

Dayton grinders are suitable for deburring, grinding, cleaning, sharpening and chamfering alloy or carbon metal pieces. It is generally used in construction, maintenance & refurbishing applications. Dayton grinders are also used to remove rust and even out rough edges on metal surfaces.

Working Mechanism

Dayton bench grinders can grind the metal pieces & tools to a desired shape & angle by following these steps:

• After switching the Dayton bench grinder On, apply steady, moderate pressure on the workpiece and keep it moving at an even pace over the grinding wheels for smooth grinding.
• Do not press the workpiece too hard over the wheels as that may lead to overheating of the motor & premature wearing of the grinding wheels.
• Set the desired speed level of wheel rotation using the optional speed dial. Users should set low speeds when performing cleaning, polishing, sharpening & other finishing operations and set high speeds for heavy duty material removal, deburring and chamfering applications.
• Users should try to maintain the original bevel angle on the item to be sharpened. Burrs from the sharpened cutting edges should also be removed.
• Deburring of edges is done by pulling the burr edges of the workpiece across the bevel angle.
• Users should position the workpiece such that the grinding wheel rotates into the object being sharpened.
• The workpiece should be regularly dipped in a coolant to prevent overheating that can cause weakening of the metals.
