OD grinding,10'' dia. solid roller between centers, asking for tipsregarding dead centers
This is the first time for me to OD grind something this heavy. I
expect to grind between carbon or HSS dead centers and use white lead or STP as lube. I plan on pushing the tailstock solid against the part without spring loading, because of the weight, and making sure that the headstock and the tailstock are clamped tight to the table. My main concern is that with this weight, the center holes that are about 3/8-1/2 inch diameter will wear/ tear up the centers or themselves running against dead centers. I would like to hear from people with experience OD grinding solid rollers this heavy. This is an Italian RUR brand grinder that uses #2 morse tapers. Thanks |
