DESCRIPTION
The 2" x 36" Electric Tool Post Grinder is a lathe attachment which uses an abrasive belt driven by
an electric motor to grind and polish cylindrical parts. The abrasive belt is either backed by a contact
wheel at the point of contact with the rotating cylindrical part or the abrasive belt is supported between
two rollers near the point of contact for low pressure grinding and polishing.
INTENDED USE
The 2" x 36" Electric Tool Post Grinder is for industrial use on lathes by trained machinists who have
read and understood this manual. Set-up, maintenance and troubleshooting must be done by trained
industrial technicians who have read and understood this manual.
FORESEEABLE MISUSE
Set up or troubleshooting by unqualified technicians or without consulting this manual.
Use outdoors.
Use while not attached to a lathe.
Use by untrained or unauthorized operators.
Use with flammable liquids for part cooling.
Use in Class 1 or Class 2 hazardous areas
Neglecting maintenance.

Machine Setup
Step 1 Remove any tooling, tooling holders, etc. from the lathe compound.
Step 2 Clear all chips and debris from the top of compound and “T”-slot.
Step 3 Providing the “T”-nut is of correct size for the lathe compound, lift (or hoist) the entire tool into
position. Align and insert “T”-nut into slot.
Step 4 Using your fingers, lightly snug the Hex Screw (97087) until the tool becomes parallel to the
workpiece centerline.
Step 5 The tool can now be swung from side to side and positioned for the desired angle between the
contact wheel and the workpiece. Once this is achieved, firmly tighten Hex Screw (97087).
Step 6 Position the contact wheel at or above the workpiece centerline. This will ensure proper belt
tracking and prevent chatter from occurring. The position can be altered by loosening the two Cap
Screws (97088) and allowing the tool to pivot on the Pivot Shaft (65266) (tool must be supported
while performing this task!) Firmly retighten the screws once proper positioning is achieved.
Step 7 Connect compressed air (Models 64991 &64993).
Step 8 Connect electric power. See page 11.
The machine is now ready for operation.

MAINTENANCE
MACHINE OPERATION
Belt Tracking
Belt tracking is accomplished by turning the Tracking Knob (95314). Turning clockwise moves belt to the right.
Turning counter-clockwise moves belt to the left.
Coolant Nozzle
The coolant nozzle can be extended or retracted (if dia. allows) for good placement of coolant flow by loosening
Hex Screw (95179). Retighten once placement is achieved. The coolant nozzle has an adjustable flow valve
which connects to 1/4" diameter flexible nylon tubing.
Drip Pan
The drip pan is hinged on a #10 eye screw and can be tilted fore and aft to direct coolant toward lathe bed or
to a drain hose. A 1/4 NPT port is provided at each end for this purpose.
Catch Tray Assembly
Each machine comes equipped with an adjustable catch tray which positions underneath the contact wheel.
Its purpose is to collect the major portion of grind dust/swarf and direct it away from the lathe ways. It should
be placed within 1/8" of workpiece. Position can be changed by loosening Knob (97773). When grinding into
a shoulder, it will be necessary to remove tray entirely.
The grinders described in this manual have been designed to be maintenance-free. All bearings and moving
parts are sealed and lubricated for life. Electric motor maintenance should be performed as recommended by
the motor manufacturer.
Good housekeeping is essential to insuring long life of any machine tool. By keeping the machine clean and
visually inspected for any wear, the machine will provide many years of quality service.
Periodically inspect the contact wheels, idler rolls and drive pulley for any signs of wear. Repairing or replacing
worn parts early enough will prevent other parts from becoming damaged.
Belt Installation/Change
Step 1 Remove Belt Guard by grasping Door Latch (97760)
and rotate quarter turn counter-clockwise.
Step 2 Pull the belt release lever rearward until distinctive
“click” or catch is felt indicating the engagement of
cam mechanism into machined groove.
Step 3 Important: With firm rearward hold on release lever
handle, remove belt with left hand.
Step 4 Install new belt in same manner.
Step 5 With hand and fingers free from moving parts, push
release lever forward until belt becomes taught.
Replace belt guard and turn door latch quarter turn clockwise until “click” is heard.
