Pedestal Grinder

WhatsApp Order

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 Stand to the side of the wheel during startup to avoid debris from wheel breakage.
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
o Wear fitted clothing to prevent entanglement in moving parts.
Regular Maintenance
o Clean the machine regularly and check alignment and vibration.
o Replace worn wheels and components promptly.
Use Tool Rests Correctly
o Keep tool rests adjusted close (1/8 inch or less) to the grinding wheel to prevent workpiece jamming.
Proper Workspace Setup
o Keep the area around the grinder clean and well-lit.
o Use anti-slip mats and secure the pedestal firmly to the floor.
