– Visually inspect the wheel for cracks or damage.
– Perform a ring test for cracks if the size and shape of
the wheel permits testing.
– Make sure the spindle speed of the machine is not
greater than the operating speed of the wheel.
• Make sure a damaged or cracked wheel is not mounted or
used.
Note:
Wheels that have gouges, grooves, other damage, or material buildup on the grinding surface need to be dressed or trued
to correct the problem. Wheels that cannot be trued are considered damaged and cannot be used.
