Grinders are Back
Share
YEP! They are back. For a limited time.
Grinding beads in a machine shop isn't the best thing to do for longevity of the machines. The grinding dust can settle on machines and work it's way into the precision bears and cause damage. The dust is highly abrasive and will cause the moving parts to wear out very quickly leading to loose fits and even failure.
BUT good news is that I moved my grinding station into the tumble room to help keep the dust contained. It doesn't make it any easier but I don't have to clean the entire shop when I'm finished.
