Thread: SQ 62- how is the white wheel used

Hi steve,
I would assume that the "trough"would swing down
further than it is now , and you would use it entering
from the left of the picture ! A jig of some kind would
probably help on that side , if you have one ! Hope
this helps,

Nope , no swingdown- screwed very solidly in place (but thanks)

Hey Steve, try this.

Ozito 200/150mm Wet & Dry Bench Grinder - Grinders & Sharpeners, Benchtop Power Tools - in Bunnings

.............. Jerry (in Tucson)

Thats actually where I copied the picture from (apart from name, it seems identical to mine- presumably all manufactured in same factory in China). I could not find any instructions on the site

Hi Steve On that Bunnings page is " FAQ & Downloads " Then " Download manual " Cheers Phil

Yep did that - all safety instructions or wheel replacements, nothing useful on actual usage

Dumb question. I assume the white wheel (runs about half the speed of the rey one) is used wet and the trough around it is for the water. Which side do you approach the wheel from. The high side seems too high and the low side too cluttered with the other wheel. Appreciate any advice. Also wheel wobble is huge - any tricks to this. Yes I know its not a Tormec but I'd like to use it if I can

As for the wheels the white wheel is for sharpening and is a fine friable Aluminium Oxode, ideal for producing a fine edge. Tiy will need to go to a hone afterwards to get a really fine edge.

Red is typically Silicon Carbide for grinding sintered carbide bits, stone, ceramic or other hard material. Not sure why it is on this grinder.

you use the top of the wheel only way to get rid of the wobble ( you get what you pay for) is to attempt to dress it out

Thanks - it just feels wrong - too high (and I am fairly tall) and unsupported

I had one of these years ago. The turn through 90 degrees is via a worm drive, mine was made of nylon or some sort of plastic, it lasted a few weeks at best.

You should be able to get rid of the wobble by shimming the wheel. Use small paper markers similar to what you would use at a garage sale. Mark where the wheel is out using a pencil o0n the side of the wheel and place one of the markers under the paper washer holding the wheel. It will be somewhat tedious but should get rid of the wobble.

As for sharpening, It looks as though you use the side of the wheel. the manual says freehand or using the notches along the side of the water trough. Personally I would make up a tool rest to sit at the back of the grinder to assist in accurate positioning.
