In short, ingersolran never over-speed a grinding air and sander and ingersolran and air wheel. The speed of the grinder must be compared to the speed sander marked on the wheel or package to make sure ingersolran the machine''s speed is at or below the maximum operating speed of the wheel. Surpassing this rating risks not just air wheel breakage but also the safety of sander shop personnel. About the author: Roger Cloutier is a ingersolran senior product safety engineer for the Norton Abrasives brand of Saint-Gobain Abrasives in Worcester, air Massachusetts.

One potential source sander of serious injury in grinding comes from an oversight that is easy to make: operating the wheel in an over-speed condition. While a wheel ingersolran that is run far enough air in excess of its rated maximum speed may shatter within minutes of operation, danger may also result from a wheel run just slightly faster than its rated speed. This less severe over-speed sander condition can cause the wheel to be damaged, ingersolran and air and the damage may result in breakage after further use. For example, operating a reinforced, 9-inch diameter, Type 27 wheel rated for a maximum speed of 6,600 rpm on sander a 7-inch angle ingersolran grinder with a speed of 7,700 rpm can cause air and sander the wheel to crack. This cracking can lead to breakage later. Any of these actions sets up a disastrous scenario that could lead to an accident involving serious injury or death.
