INSTRUCTIONS
TO INSTALL WHEELS: You will nee to remove the guar s from your
bench grin er, as they are not nee e with this paper wheel. Then in-
stall the gritte wheel on the right si e of the motor an the slotte
wheel on the left si e of the motor.
Before you turn on the motor, take the con itioning wax (yellow stuff)
out of the cup an rub it sparingly on the black grit wheel until you can
see some wax on the grit. Then each time you start to sharpen, just
touch the wax to the grit wheel for a secon with the motor running. The
wax has two functions; a) helps control heat & b) helps the grit stay on
the wheel longer. Be careful not to use too much wax, oing so will e-
stroy the effectiveness of the grit. There shoul be streaks of wax
(shiny) on the grit, but if the wax is completely covering the grit it will
re uce the grit’s ability to cut into the steel.
The slotte wheel nee s no pre-con itioning just put it on an whenever
you start to use it, simply touch the running wheel with the rouge. This
is for heat control as well as for honing & polishing the cutting e ge.
Do not over-tighten the nuts. Snug is enough.
Spin the wheels by han . If a wheel wobbles from si e to si e try tap-
ping the wheel lightly with your fingers. If you still have a wobble,
loosen the nut an turn the washer, or washers, just a little. Turn one
washer one way an the other washer the other way. Snug the nut an
spin the wheel. You might have to repeat this a time or two to minimize
the wobble.
A little si e to si e eviation won’t hurt anything! Sometimes, if a wheel
is expose to heat or ampness, it will warp a little. Place the wheel be-
tween two boar s, clamp them tightly an keep in a cool ry place for a
few hours!
Grit Packs containing replacement grit, wax for the gritte wheel an
rouge for the slotte wheel can be purchase from www.grizzly.com

TRUING OF WHEELS: When you have the wheels running “true” on’t
remove them unnecessarily, because when you put them back they will
be in a ifferent position an you will have to a just them again. Some-
times the wheels may be a little “out of roun ”. The grit wheel can be
fixe at time of re-surfacing. If the “slotte ” wheel seems out of roun ,
it can be true at any time. Correcting “out of roun ness” is easy. Take
a piece of 60 grit san paper an wrap it aroun a flat piece of metal (a
flat file works fine) & hol it lightly against the face of the wheel. You
will feel the “high” spot. Keep hol ing it lightly against the wheel until it
feels smooth. Now the “high” spot is gone & the wheel is clean & flat
across the face! Also you may “roun ” the corners of the slotte wheel
if you sharpen a lot of serrate knives. Simply use a fol e piece of 60
grit san paper to “sharpen” up the corners.
OKAY, YOU ARE READY TO START SHARPENING: Time to think about
the angle you want on your knife or tool. Proper angle epen s on what
you are going to use the e ge for! Generally, if you are going to chop,
ig or scrape with a bla e, a 35-40 egree angle works best. For razors
or a little rotary cutting wheel, a “flat” angle is best, 10-15 egrees.
Most knives are 20-25 egrees. You will learn with practice just what
angle works best for you.
RECONDITIONING the GRIT WHEEL:
Do not remove the wheel from the motor. If you o you will have to
eliminate the wobble again when you put it back on.
When the gritte wheel stops sharpening, use coarse san paper (like
36 grit) to clean off all the grit, glue & wax own to bare paper. Just
wrap it aroun something har & flat, like a crescent wrench han le or
flat file. After all the ol grit, wax & glue is remove , use 60 grit san pa-
per to smooth an true the wheel (as it might be a little out of roun ).
Next put some paper un er the wheel to catch excess grit, & put an
even coat of Elmer’s (“Ross” in Cana a) “Glue-All” multi-purpose white
glue on the face of the wheel. The layer of glue shoul not be too thin,
but not so thick as to be running off. You shoul be able to see the
laminate lines through the glue. Then slowly han turn the wheel while
you sprinkle the black silicon carbi e grit over the glue. Sprinkle the
grit on the wheel until it is sloughing off an no more will stick, then
turn the wheel a couple of times while tapping it on the si e to remove
excess grit. When you are happy with your coating job, pour the excess
grit back into the container an replace the li . Do not touch the wheel
until the glue ries completely, preferably for about 24 hours. Then it is
rea y to go again. If there is a small no ule on the wheel, wait until the
glue is ry, then turn on your motor & touch the running wheel slightly
with the 60 grit san paper. Some users have successfully use Tite-
Bon Original (re label) glue as well.
