A Pedestal Grinder is a robust, stationary grinding machine mounted on a pedestal stand and designed for heavy-duty grinding, sharpening, shaping, and polishing tasks. It typically features two grinding wheels—coarse and fine—on either end of a motor-driven shaft. Widely used in workshops, fabrication units, and maintenance departments, pedestal grinders are ideal for sharpening tools, removing burrs, cleaning welds, and refining metal components. The fixed design ensures stability, while adjustable tool rests and safety guards enhance control and operator protection during high-speed grinding operations.

SAFETY HANDLING PRECAUTIONS

Safety Precautions

Wear Proper PPE
o Use safety goggles or face shields to protect against sparks and debris.
o Wear gloves, hearing protection, and sturdy footwear.
Inspect Machine Before Use
o Check for cracks or wear on grinding wheels.
o Ensure wheel guards and tool rests are securely positioned and adjusted.
Use the Right Wheel for the Job
o Match wheel type and grit to the material being worked on.
o Avoid using damaged or unbalanced wheels.
Maintain Safe Operating Position

o Keep hands at a safe distance from the wheel surface.
Do Not Force the Workpiece
o Apply moderate, steady pressure—let the grinder do the work.
o Avoid overheating the workpiece by pausing as needed.
Avoid Loose Clothing and Jewelry
