The Basics

240W 2950 RPM motor driving:

  • 150 mm dia x 20 mm grinding wheel (12.7 mm bore)
  • 50 mm x 686 mm sanding belt

Safety

  • Long hair MUST be tied up, long sleeves should be rolled up securely.
  • Eye protection MUST be worn. Safety glasses are in the "Safety Equipment" box.
  • Ensure appropriate guards are in place.
  • Be careful what you shower in hot sparks (don't violate rule 0).
  • Do not grind non-ferrous metals such as aluminium or copper on the wheel. The sanding belt is OK.
