(This Foreword is not a part of the American National Standard Safety Code
For the Use, Care and Protection of Abrasive Wheels, B7.1-1970)
In 1917 the Grinding Wheel Manufacturers and the Machine Tool Builders began to recognize a need for codification and standardization of the basic requirements of safe operation of abrasive grinding wheels. By 1922 these two groups had completed a tentative draft of requirements for an American Standard. It was reviewed, revised, and subsequently published in 1926 under the auspices of the American Standards Association (now the American National Standards Institute) as the “American Standard Safety Code For the Use, Care and Protection of Abrasive Wheels.” The Code has been revised in 1930, 1935, 1943, 1947, 1956, 1964 and 1970.
The two groups which initiated the Code in 1917 have been expanded into a Standards Committee representing nationally recognized engineering, safety, abrasive wheel and grinding machine fabricators and user associations, labor organizations, insurance underwriter groups, and several interested government agencies.
Safety is indeed everybody’s business in the “Use, Care and Protection of Abrasive Wheels.”
Basic to a proper understanding of the Code is a thorough knowledge of the nature and characteristics of a abrasive wheels and the grinding machines on which they are used. Their safety and protection devices can and must be used to limit, if not eliminate, injury or damage in case of accidental wheel breakage. Constant educational programs at all levels are the best insurance against those unforseen conditions or circumstances which result in an industrial accident.
This Code outlines the best known practices, tests, and safety devices for the protection of all personnel and equipment from injury or damage in case of accidental wheel breakage. USE THEM.
This, the “American National Standards Institute Safety Code For the Use, Care and Protection of Abrasive Wheels,” is specifically dedicated to vigilant safety practice and education.

This 1970 revision of the B7 Safety Code continues the two-column format to provide supporting information for the regulations.
The material in the left column is confined to code regulations only and is so captioned. These regulations are printed in distinctive bold type to indicate their authority without question. Where a condensed document is required (e.g. for State Code adoption), the material in the left column together with supporting tables and sketches can be used as a complete code.
The right column, captioned “Explanatory Information,” offers basic reasons for each rule to encourage compliance. Material appears in this second column only when it clarifies the regulation. This column should not be construed as being a part of the American National Standard Safety Code For The Use, Care And Protection of Abrasive Wheels B7.1-1970.
Operating rules (safe practices) are not included in either column of this Safety Code unless they are of such nature as to be vital safety requirements, equal in weight to other requirements included in the Code.
viThis code sets forth rules and specifications for safety in the use of abrasive wheels, excluding natural sandstone, including specifications for safety guards, flanges, chucks and rules for the proper storage, handling, mounting and use of grinding wheels.
Metal, wooden, cloth or paper discs, having a layer of abrasive on the surface, are not included.
Explanatory Information
(NOT PART OF ANSI CODE)
This column will offer reasons for the rule, to encourage compliance. Material will appear in this column only when it will clarify the regulations. (Not including tables or sketches.)
The word “shall” where used is to be understood as mandatory and “should” as advisory.
Explanatory Information
(NOT PART OF ANSI CODE)
The sketches and photographs used in this publication are classified as “Figures” or “Illustrations.” The items listed as “Figures” are applicable to the code regulations, while those listed as “Illustrations” apply to the explanatory information.
An abrasive wheel is a cutting tool consisting of abrasive grains held together by organic or inorganic bonds. Diamond and reinforced wheels are included.
Explanatory Information
(NOT PART OF ANSI CODE)
ILLUSTRATION No. 1
Examples of the various types of abrasive wheels included in this Code.
Organic wheels are wheels which are bonded by means of an organic material such as resin, rubber, shellac or other similar bonding agent.
Inorganic wheels are wheels which are bonded by means of inorganic material such as clay, glass, porcelain, sodium silicate, magnesium oxychloride, or metal. Wheels bonded with clay, glass, porcelain or related ceramic materials are characterized as “vitrified bonded wheels”.
1The term “Reinforced” as applied to grinding wheels shall define a class of organic wheels which contain strengthening fabric or filament.
The term “Reinforced” does not cover wheels using such mechanical additions as steel rings, steel cup backs or wire or tape winding. (See appendix A page 87 for additional protection devices.)
Explanatory Information
(NOT PART OF ANSI CODE)
ILLUSTRATION No. 2.

ILLUSTRATION No. 3
Arrow indicates grinding face.
A safety guard is an enclosure designed to restrain the pieces of the grinding wheel and furnish all possible protection in the event that the wheel is broken in operation. See section 4 page 27 for full description.
Explanatory Information
(NOT PART OF ANSI CODE)
ILLUSTRATION No. 4
The safety guard affords operator protection in case of accidental breakage.
Wheel speed shall be computed from the free running speed of the machine spindle.
Explanatory Information
(NOT PART OF ANSI CODE)
In Table 20 page 59, wheel speeds are classified in surface feet per minute (sfpm). Machine spindle speeds, however, are usually indicated in revolutions per minute. Therefore, one must have a clear understanding of how these two are related.
ILLUSTRATION No.5
Point ‘x’ has traveled a distance equal to the circumference of the wheel. (3.1415 x diameter)
Revolutions per minute (rpm) is the number of complete turns that a grinding wheel makes in one minute.
Surface feet per minute (sfpm) is the distance in feet any one abrasive grain on the peripheral surface of a grinding wheel travels in one minute.
Explanatory Information
(NOT PART OF ANSI CODE)
Surface feet per minute (sfpm) is the distance in feet any one abrasive grain on the cutting face travels in one minute. In Illustration No. 5 the point “x” on the cutting face travels, for every complete turn, a distance equal to the circumference, (3.1416 x diameter). Since the diameter of a grinding wheel is usually indicated in inches, it is necessary to divide the result by 12 in order to obtain the number of “surface feet per minute”.
Flanges are collars, discs or plates between which wheels are mounted and are referred to as adaptor, sleeve, or back up type. See section 5 page 42 for full description.
Steel rings may be molded into certain organic bonded grinding wheels in manufacture. Where used, such rings act mainly to add rigidity to the wheel as it approaches discard size and to help retain the pieces of the wheel should accidental breakage occur at stub size. See Appendix A page 87.
3Cup back, inserted type, round knurled and prong anchor bushings as shown in Illustration 6 are generally molded on types 6 and 11 organic bonded cup wheels.
Bushings of round, hexagonal, square or similar designs may be cemented or molded into the wheel holes. Including cone and plug wheels.
Adequate safety guards shall always be used with these wheels unless specifically excepted, by the code. See section 4 page 27 and Appendix A page 87.
Explanatory Information
(NOT PART OF ANSI CODE)
ILLUSTRATION No. 6
Hexagonal, prong anchor, round knurled and cup back bushings.
Reducing bushings are inserts or devices used to reduce the hole size in a grinding wheel so that it can be mounted correctly on a smaller diameter spindle. Reducing bushings shall be specifically designed, properly manufactured and fitted for use in grinding wheels as specified in paragraph 3.11, page 24. Minimum hole size as shown in Table 1 page 22 should not be violated nor should the bushing ends interfere with proper seating of the mounting flange or flanges. (See section 6 page 52.) Reducing bushings shall not be used to permit the operation of a grinding wheel in excess of its maximum operating speed.

15All grinding wheels are breakable and therefore care shall be exercised in handling and storage to prevent damage. The following rules, which are based on experience, shall always be observed.
(a) Handle wheels carefully to prevent dropping or bumping.
(b) Do not roll wheels (hoop fashion).
(c) Use trucks or other suitable conveyances, which provide support and protection in transporting all wheels which cannot be carried by hand.
(d) Place wheels carefully on a shelf or rack or in bins, boxes or drawers.
Explanatory Information
(NOT PART OF ANSI CODE)
All grinding wheels must be handled carefully.
It should be realized that grinding wheels are necessarily manufactured in varying strengths to grind properly.
Some grinding wheels are stronger than others, but all grinding wheels can be broken by mishandling.
Suitable racks, bins, drawers or boxes shall be provided to store the various types of wheels used. (See Fig. 1,2 and 3 pages 17–18.)
Wheels shall not be stored subject to:
(a) Exposure to high humidity, water or other liquids.
(b) Freezing temperature.
(c) Any temperature low enough to cause condensation on the wheels when moving them from storage to an area of higher temperature.
Explanatory Information
(NOT PART OF ANSI CODE)
Grinding wheels must be protected while awaiting use. Wheel storage should be arranged to allow for removal of wheels without disturbing or damaging other wheels. Storage and records should also be set up to allow for wheel use on a rotational basis so that wheels will be in storage a minimum length of time. This minimizes the possibility of damage from lengthy storage. Such suitable storage should be available for partly used wheels as well as new wheels.
162.2 Storage
FIGURE NO. 1

Explanatory Information
(NOT PART OF ANSI CODE)
Grinding wheel storage racks should be designed, constructed and located to fit the needs of the user. The following factors should be considered:
Location
All grinding wheels should be stored in a dry area in rooms not subject to extreme temperature changes since some bonds may be affected by excessive humidity, dampness and extreme temperature differentials. Racks should be located as near as practical to the grinding location, but never where there is danger of damage from passing trucks, crane handling or excessive vibration.

Storage Methods
The racks, bins or drawers should be constructed so that each of the various types of wheels can, be stored in an orderly and safe manner. (See Fig. 2 page 17.) Wheel selection should be possible with a minimum of handling.
The selection of racks, bins, boxes or drawers for storage depends on the size and type of wheels. The following suggestions should be considered.
Thin organic bonded wheels such as those used for cutting-off should be laid flat on a flat surface of steel or similar rigid material away from excessive heat or moisture to prevent warpage. Not even blotters should be allowed between stacked thin wheels. If thin wheels are supplied with blotters attached, suitable separators should be used to preserve flatness.
Straight or tapered wheels (Types 1, 4, 5, 7, 13, 20, 21, 22, 23, 24, 25 and 26) of appreciable thickness are best supported in racks (see Fig. 2 page 17). Preferably the racks should provide a cushioned two-point cradle support to prevent the wheels from rolling. Partitions are helpful in facilitating wheel selection with a minimum of handling.
Cylinder wheels (Type 2), large straight cup wheels (Type 6), large dish wheels (Type 12) and large saucer wheels (Type 13) may be stacked on flat sides with some form of cushioning material between them; or they may be stored on edge like large straight wheels.
Flaring cup wheels (Type 11) are best stored as Illustrated in Fig. 2 page 17 to prevent chipping of edges.
Small wheels (approximately 4 inches or less in diameter). except flaring cup wheels (Type 11), are often stored in boxes, bins, or drawers.
Immediately after unpacking, all wheels shall be closely inspected to make sure that they have not been damaged from handling, shipping or other causes. As an added precaution, wheels should be tapped gently with a light non-metallic implement, such as the handle of a screw driver for light wheels, or a wooden mallet for heavier wheels. If they sound cracked (dead), they shall not be used. This is known as the “Ring Test”. (see Figs. 4 and 5 page 19.)
Explanatory Information
(NOT PART OF ANSI CODE)
The first inspection should be made on the original shipping container. If there is visible evidence of damage to the container, special care must be used in the inspection of the wheels.
182.3 Inspection
Wheels must be dry and free from sawdust when applying the ring test, otherwise the sound will be deadened. It should also be noted that organic bonded wheels do not emit the same clear metallic ring as do vitrified and silicate wheels.
FIGURE NO. 4 FIGURE NO. 5
“Tap” wheels about 45 degrees each side of the vertical center line and about 1 or 2 inches from the periphery as indicated by the spots in Fig. 4 and Fig. 5.
Then rotate the wheel 45 degrees and repeat the test.
A sound and undamaged wheel will give a clear metallic tone. If cracked, there will be a dead sound and not a clear “ring.”
Explanatory Information
(NOT PART OF ANSI CODE)
“Ring Test”
If the wheel is not too heavy, it may be suspended from the hole on a small pin or the finger. (See III. No. 35.) Heavier wheels may be allowed to rest in a vertical position on a clean, hard floor.
“Tap” the wheel gently with a non-metallic implement such as a wooden screw driver handle for light wheels and a wooden mallet for heavy wheels. The best spot to “tap” a wheel for the ring test is about 45 degrees either side of the vertical center line and about 1 or 2 inches from the periphery. (See Figs. 4 and 5.)
ILLUSTRATION NO. 35
If struck directly along the vertical center line, the “ring,”, even in a sound wheel, is sometimes muffled and may give the erroneous impression that the wheel is cracked. This is especially true with large wheels which are supported on the floor when conducting this test. (See Fig. 5.) It is sometimes noticeable also when the wheel is suspended from the hole. It is recommended that the test be repeated after rotating the wheel 45 degrees to the right or left.
Repeat this “ring test” immediately before mounting-either a new or used wheel on a machine, especially if the wheel has been in storage or out of service for a considerable time. In making this test it must be realized that wheels bonded with organic material do not give forth the same clear metallic sound as do vitrified and silicate wheels. Also wheels must be dry and free from sawdust when applying the test, otherwise the sound will be deadened.
Comparison of the sound with other wheels of the same lot and specification will allow rejection of any wheel with a suspiciously different ring before use.
19It shall be the machine manufacturer’s responsibility to design, and the user’s responsibility to maintain, his machines for safe operating condition.
The following areas are important to fulfill these obligations.
Explanatory Information
(NOT PART OF ANSI CODE)
Grinding is a safe operation under normal conditions. Severe stresses can be set up in the wheel if established safe operating practices are not maintained. Only machines designed for the required spindle speed with suitable bearings to take the pressure and thrust of the grinding operation are recommended.
Proper maintenance of grinding machines is very important to insure safe operation. Grinding machine maintenance should be performed only by qualified personnel.
Grinding machines shall be equipped with safety guards in conformance with the requirements covered in section 4 page 27.
Explanatory Information
(NOT PART OF ANSI CODE)
Safety guards must be used on grinding machines to insure protection in case of an accidental wheel breakage. (See section 4.1 page 27 for exceptions.)
Grinding machines should be supplied with sufficient power to maintain the rated spindle speed under all conditions of normal operation.
Explanatory Information
(NOT PART OF ANSI CODE)
If the grinding wheel speed is reduced materially under normal grinding pressure, its cutting ability is decreased and excessive heat and pressure often result. Adequate power will avoid this hazard.
Stationary machines used for dry grinding should have provision made for connection to an exhaust system.

Table 1 page 22 shows the minimum diameters of spindles which should be used for wheels of various sizes. It applies to machines where wheels are not mounted between bearings. The use of heavier spindles than those listed in this table is often desirable.
Explanatory Information
(NOT PART OF ANSI CODE)
Standard machine design generally conforms to the minimum spindle diameter requirements in Table 1 page 22. Investigation has shown that requests for wheels with undersize holes often result from the desire to use larger diameter wheels than were originally intended for the machine.
Grinding machines shall be equipped with flanges in accordance with the requirements listed in section 5 page 42.
Explanatory Information
(NOT PART OF ANSI CODE)
Proper selection, use and maintenance of flanges are all essential factors in the safe use of grinding wheels. See section 5 page 42.
On offhand grinding machines (see section 1.3.6 page 6), work rests shall be used to support the work. They shall be of rigid construction and designed to be adjustable to compensate for wheel wear.
Work rests shall be kept adjusted closely to the wheel with a maximum opening of ⅛ʺ to prevent the work from being jammed between the wheel and the rest, which may cause wheel breakage. The work rest shall be securely clamped after each adjustment. The adjustment shall not be made with the wheel in motion.
Explanatory Information
(NOT PART OF ANSI CODE)
ILLUSTRATION No. 37
This floor stand grinder has a work rest which is properly adjusted. Note the provisions for work-rest adjustment.
Grinding machines should be provided with a means of limiting the diameter of wheel which can be mounted. The safety guard is generally satisfactory for this purpose on single speed machines.
On variable speed machines, the speed shifting device should be connected with an adjustable guard or another diameter limiting device to prevent the mounting of a wheel which might run at higher than the recommended surface speed.
Explanatory Information
(NOT PART OF ANSI CODE)
On variable speed machines, a positive mechanical or manual regulation check should be maintained to avoid overspeeding another or full size wheel after the original wheel stub has been removed.

The direction of rotation of the cutting-off wheel is indicated by the arrow on the guard. This is also the direction the nut must be turned for removal.
If wheels are mounted by means of a central spindle nut and flanges, two conditions shall be maintained:
Explanatory Information
(NOT PART OF ANSI CODE)
ILLUSTRATION No. 39
The spindle is of sufficient length to accommodate the wheel and flanges.
Grinding wheels shall fit freely on the spindle (wheel sleeves or adaptors) and remain free under all grinding conditions.
To accomplish this, the spindle or wheel mount shall be made to nominal (standard) size plus .000 minus .002 inches. The wheel hole shall be made suitably oversize to assure safety clearance under the conditions of operating heat and pressure.
Explanatory Information
(NOT PART OF ANSI CODE)
To avoid rupturing pressure in the wheel hole, the diameter of the spindle or wheel mount shall be kept within the limits of plus zero, minus. .002 inches. The hole in the wheel must be suitably oversize so that the wheel fits freely but not loosely under all operating conditions, to allow for expansion of the wheel spindle or mount caused by the heat of operation.
Machines on which threaded hole wheels are mounted shall be provided with spindles which are so threaded as to allow the wheel to be screwed firmly and flat against the back flange. (See Figs. 6 and 7.)
The back flange shall be flat, unrelieved, securely fastened and square to the spindle axis. (See III. 40.) The fixed back flange shall be of sufficient diameter to insure proper support to the wheel. (See Table 13 page 48.)
The direction of the thread shall be such that to remove the wheel it must be turned in the same direction that it rotates when in use.
If threaded hole wheels are of cone or plug shape with blind holes, the length of the spindle and the depth of the hole shall be such that the end of the spindle shall not touch the bottom of the wheel hole.

If the spindle stops quickly when power is shut off, the energy stored in the spinning wheel may cause the wheel to unscrew from the spindle and “Spin Off” the machine.
To help prevent “spinning off” the threads on the machine spindle should be maintained in good condition and the wheel should be held in contact with the work piece until the wheel has stopped.
24Machines on which inserted nut wheels are mounted shall be provided with a steel disc wheel (machine face plate) of approximately the same diameter as the wheel, and of sufficient thickness to provide necessary support. Minimum steel disc wheel (machine face plate) thickness for disc grinders are shown in Table 2.

All abrasive wheels shall be used only on machines provided with Safety Guards as defined in the following paragraphs of this section.
Exceptions: This requirement shall not apply to the following classes of wheels and conditions.
(1) Wheels used for internal work while with in the work being ground.
(2) Mounted wheels used in portable operations (see definition Sec 1.4.18 page 15) 2 inches and smaller in diameter.
(3) Types 16, 17, 18, 18R and 19 cones and plugs and threaded hole pot balls where the work offers protection.
Note: For additional forms of operator protection see Appendix A page 87.
Explanatory Information
(NOT PART OF ANSI CODE)
Exceptions to the use of safety guards are based on the impossibility of using these classes of wheels with conventional guards in place. In these cases, the work often forms a guard and the mass of the wheel is small. Face protection is particularly important when using this class of wheel.
Cup wheels (Types 6 and 11) shall be protected by
(a) Safety Guards as specified in Sections 4.1 page 27 to 4.10 page 37 inclusive or
(b) Band Type Guards as specified in Sections 4.11 page 40 and 4.12 page 40 or
(c) Special “Revolving Cup Guards” which mount behind the wheel and turn with it. They shall be made of steel or other material with adequate strength and shall enclose the wheel sides upward from the back for ⅓ of the wheel thickness. The mounting features shall conform with all Code regulations. (See section 6 page 52.)
It is necessary to maintain clearance between the wheel side and the guard. This clearance shall not exceed 1/16 inch.
(d) Some other form of guard that will insure as good protection as that provided by the guards specified in (a) and (b) and (c).

Explanatory Information
(NOT PART OF ANSI CODE)
The major stresses produced in an operating grinding wheel tend to combine and become greatest at the hole. It is, therefore, important that stresses due to mounting and driving, act as far from the hole as practicable.
This is best accomplished by using flanges at least as large as those listed in Tables 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18 and 19, pages 47, 48, 49, 50 and 51.
Flanges should be at least minimum diameters specified, identical in diameter and radial bearing surface to avoid cross bending pressures and stresses in the wheel structure. Cutting-off wheel flange diameter equal to ¼ the wheel diameter is a minimum requirement. In many cutting-off operations, better results may be obtained through the use of larger flanges.
Blotters (Compressible Washers) should always be used between metal flanges and abrasive wheel surfaces for uniform distribution of flange pressure.
See Sec. 5.6 page 44 for exceptions regarding the use of blotters.
Flanges shall be checked periodically for flatness, burrs or wear.
Type 1 cutting-off wheels are to be mounted between properly relieved flanges which have matching bearing surfaces. Such flanges shall be at least one-fourth the wheel diameter.
Type 27A cutting-off wheels are designed to be mounted by means of flat, not relieved, flanges having matching bearing surfaces and which may be less than one-third but shall not be less than one-fourth the wheel diameter. See Illustration 77 page 56 for one such type of mounting.
42There are three general types of flanges: straight relieved flanges (see Figure 41 page 47); straight unrelieved flanges (see Figure 42 page 48); adaptor flanges (see Figures 44 and 45, page 49).
Regardless of flange type used, the wheel shall always be guarded. (See section 4 page 27.) Blotters shall be used as listed in section 5.6 page 44.
Flanges shall be of such design as to satisfactorily transmit the driving torque from the spindle to the grinding wheel.
Flanges may be made of steel, cast iron or other material of equal or greater strength and rigidity.
ILLUSTRATION No. 64
Note the flanges used here are at least ⅓ diameter of wheel; finished all over, and free of rough or sharp edges.
Flanges shall be dimensionally accurate and in good balance. There shall be no rough surfaces or sharp edges.
Both flanges, of any type, between which a wheel is mounted, shall be of the same diameter and have equal bearing surface.
Exception: Types 27 and 28 wheels are designed to be mounted by means of a special adaptor (see Illus. No. 65 for one type of adaptor). Modified types 6 and 11 wheels (terrazzo) with tapered K dimension (see section 1.4.20 page 15). Equivalent or better mounting techniques may also be used. (See section 6.15 page 56.)

Note: Inorganic wheels with large holes are not recommended for snagging. (See section 9.13 page 68.)
Explanatory Information
(NOT PART OF ANSI CODE)
Flanges of this type are frequently used with organic bonded snagging wheels having large holes.
Inorganic wheels with large holes are not recommended for-rough snagging operations. These wheels are not suitable for current methods of reinforcement and therefore, it is necessary for the wheels to have small holes and be used with straight relieved or tapered safety flanges.
45Table 19 page 51 shows minimum dimensions for straight flanges that are an integral part of wheel sleeves which are frequently used on precision grinding machines. Dimensions of such flanges shall never be less than indicated and should be greater where practicable.
Explanatory Information
(NOT PART OF ANSI CODE)
In mounting large hole wheels, it is most important that equipment and mounting procedures are satisfactory to avoid distorting of flanges. Careful mounting procedures, using new clean-blotters and gradual criss-cross tightening of the mounting screws, are important. Excessive tightening beyond that necessary to drive the wheel without slippage results in abnormal stresses near the hole. This must be avoided.
All flanges shall be maintained in good condition. When the bearing surfaces become worn, warped, sprung or damaged they should be trued or refaced. When refacing or truing, care shall be exercised to make sure that proper relief and rigidity is maintained as specified in Sections 5.5 and 5.6 page 44 and they shall be replaced when they do not conform to these Sections and Tables 12, 13, 14, or 19 pages 47, 48 and 51. Failure to observe these rules might cause excessive flange pressure around the hole of the wheel. This is especially true of wheel-sleeve or adaptor flanges.
All flanges should be frequently inspected for compliance with this rule.
Explanatory Information
(NOT PART OF ANSI CODE)
A Standard Inspection Frequency Schedule should be adopted by each grinding wheel user depending on his experience and severity of use.

Immediately before mounting, all wheels shall be closely inspected and sounded by the user (ring test, see section 2.3 page 18) to make sure they have not been damaged in transit, storage or otherwise. The spindle speed of the machine shall be checked before mounting of the wheel to be certain that it does not exceed the maximum operating speed marked on the wheel.
Explanatory Information
(NOT PART OF ANSI CODE)
A cracked wheel is unsafe and must not be used. If any evidence of damage is found, the information should be reported to the manufacturer and arrangements made for inspection.
ILLUSTRATION No. 70
“Ring test”
Grinding wheels shall fit freely on the spindle and remain free under all grinding conditions. A controlled clearance between the wheel hole and the machine spindle (or wheel sleeves or adaptors) is essential to avoid excessive pressure from mounting and spindle expansion.
To accomplish this, the machine spindle shall be made to nominal (standard) size plus zero minus .002 inches, and the wheel hole shall be made suitably over size to assure safety clearance under the conditions of operating heat and pressure. The spindle diameter should not be less than listed in section 3.5 page 21 and Table 1 page 22.
Explanatory Information
(NOT PART OF ANSI CODE)
The machine spindle or adaptor size must be maintained by the user. Worn or undersize spindles or adaptors can cause an out-of-balance condition, contributing to wheel failure.
All contact surfaces of wheels, blotters and flanges shall be flat and free of foreign matter.
Explanatory Information
(NOT PART OF ANSI CODE)
Flanges can be distorted by excessive tightening or burred by dropping and should be checked periodically. (See section 5.9 page 46 Repairs and Maintenance.) Inspection for foreign particles should be made on wheels, blotters and flanges.
Presence of foreign particles in these areas can result in uneven pressure against the sides of the wheel causing stresses that can lead to wheel failure. Scuffed or damaged blotters should be replaced.
When a bushing is used in the wheel hole it shall not exceed the width of the wheel and shall not contact the flanges. Loose reducing bushing (not mechanically held) should not be used with wheels less than ½ inch in thickness.
Explanatory Information
(NOT PART OF ANSI CODE)
If a bushing is wider than the wheel in which it is used it will interefere with proper tightening of the flanges against the wheel.
The power required to drive a grinding wheel is transferred through the flanges. If this power is partially or completely transferred through the bushing, wheel failure may result.
52When blotters or flange facings of compressible material are required, they shall cover entire contact area of wheel flanges.
Highly compressible material such as blotting paper as normally used should not exceed .025 inches in thickness.
If material of lower compressibility is used, greater thickness may be necessary.
Blotters need not be used with the following types of wheels:
Explanatory Information
(NOT PART OF ANSI CODE)
Blotters are used for several reasons. The tend to cushion the pressure of the flanges against high points or uneven surfaces and distribute the pressure evenly. They prevent damage to the surfaces of the flanges from the abrasive surface of the wheel. They provide a better coefficient of friction than would be obtained between the flange and the wheel, there by providing better transmission of the driving power to the wheel.
ILLUSTRATION No. 71
Note the blotter between the abrasive wheel and the flange.
All abrasive wheels shall be mounted between flanges which should not be less than one-third the diameter of the wheel. For exceptions and further explanation see section 5 page 42.
Explanatory Information
(NOT PART OF ANSI CODE)
Flanges drive the wheel and must have sufficient contact area. They must be of proper design to prevent distortion causing damaging stresses in the wheel.
ILLUSTRATION No. 72
The above clearly illustrates the results encountered when the spindle end nut is excessively tightened.
When more than one wheel is mounted between a single set of flanges, wheels may be cemented together or separated by specially designed spacers. Spacers shall be equal in diameter to the mounting flanges and have equal bearing surfaces. When mounting wheels which have not been cemented together, or ones which have do not been cemented together, or ones which do not utilize separating spacers, care must be exercised to use wheels specially manufactured for that purpose. (See section 5.7.1, page 45.)
Explanatory Information
(NOT PART OF ANSI CODE)
Soft compressible blotter material is not generally satisfactory for use as a spacer. Spacers should be of material rated as of low compressibility such as soft copper or brass.
53The spindle end nut shall only be tightened sufficiently to drive the wheel and prevent slippage.
Multiple screw flanges shall be tightened uniformly to prevent springing of the flanges and to insure even distribution of mounting pressure over entire surface of the flanges.
Explanatory Information
(NOT PART OF ANSI CODE)
The gradual tightening of screws on multiple screw type flanges by use of a torque wrench is recommended. The tightening should proceed from one screw to one diametrically opposite and then in a criss cross manner until sufficient pressure is applied uniformly to prevent slippage. Care must be taken to avoid excessive tightening as it may cause springing of the flanges resulting in wheel breakage. Torque pressure of 15 to 20 foot pounds is common with single wheel mounting, however, some exceptionally severe operations require greater pressure.
If flanges are tightened by means of a central nut, three conditions shall be maintained.

The spindle is of sufficient length to accommodate the wheel and flanges.
Special consideration other than listed above must be given to threaded hole wheels of the following types: 5, 6, 11, 16, 17, 18, 18R and 19.
The machine spindle for such wheels shall be provided with an unrelieved flat fixed back flange to allow the wheel to be screwed firmly against it.
The direction of the thread shall be such that to remove the wheel it must be turned in the same direction it rotates when in use.
The length of the spindle shall be such that it shall not bottom in blind threaded hole type wheels.

When threaded hole wheels are used, as in cups, cones and plugs, the size and mass of threaded hole wheels shall be kept within limits which have been found safe by experience for this mounting procedure.
With this type of mounting, a relieved back flange shall not be used. If made with a relief, if can pull the bushing out of the wheel. See Illustration No. 74.

6.10 Threaded Hole Wheels
Threaded hole wheel mounting should not be used with wheels larger than 6 inches diameter.
Threads in threaded hole wheels should be of class 2B fit and should be relieved on the side fitting against the flange so as to allow the wheel to be screwed firmly and flat against the back flange.
For requirements for mounting of abrasive discs see section 3.13 page 25.
For requirements for mounting plate mounted type wheels see section 3.14 page 26.

The maximum safe operating speed for mounted wheels shall be determined by the following factors:
(See section 10 page 69 for explanation, and Tables 23 through 31 pages 72 through 85 for speeds.)
Explanatory Information
(NOT PART OF ANSI CODE)
Since the overhang of the mandrel of a mounted wheel is a factor in determining the maximum allowable operating speed, care should be taken to assure the overhang conforms to the limitations set forth in section 10 page 69.
55Type 27 and Type 28 wheels, because of their shape and usage, require specially designed adaptors. The back flange shall extend beyond the central hub or raised portion and contact the wheel to counteract the side pressure on the wheel in use. The adaptor nut which is less than the minimum one third diameter of wheel fits in the depressed side of wheel to prevent interference in side grinding and serves to drive the wheel by its clamping force against the depressed portion of the back flange. The variance in flange diameters, the adaptor nut being less than one third wheel diameter, and use of side pressure in wheel operation limits the use to reinforced organic bonded wheels.
Mounts which are affixed to the wheel by the manufacturer shall not be reused.
Type 27 and Type 28 wheels shall be used only with a safety guard located between wheel and operator during use. (See section 4.3.7.1. page 30 and Figure 39, page 39.)
Explanatory Information
(NOT PART OF ANSI CODE)
Type 27 and 28 wheels are designed for specific usage on right angle head grinders. Type 27 with flat outer area is better suited for notching and cutting operations as well as flat area grinding. Type 28 with saucer-shaped outer area is better suited for corner cleaning work. When these wheels are supplied with a throw-away type adaptor (mounting flange attached by the manufacturer), the adaptor should not be reused. It is important when mounting Type 27 and 28 wheels that proper contact is made with the larger back flange.
Flanges should be checked for flatness since a warped flange will cause vibration and possible wheel failure.

ILLUSTRATION No. 79
A segmental wheel assembly.
The maximum operating speed of each wheel shall be established by the wheel manufacturer. Table 20 page 59 indicates maximum surface feet per minute (SFPM) for various classes of wheels. (See Sec. 1 page 1.)
The number of revolutions per minute may be increased as the diameter of a wheel is reduced through wear, provided the original surface feet per minute (SFPM) is never exceeded. (The speed table on page 86 will be helpful in converting RPM to SFPM) It shall be the user’s responsibility not to exceed these maximum operating speeds.
Explanatory Information
(NOT PART OF ANSI CODE)
The maximum operating speeds established in Table 20 page 59 have proven satisfactory for the wheels as classified.
Under no condition should a wheel be operated faster than the maximum operating speed established by the manufacturer. This is the responsibility of the wheel user.
The maximum operating speed as determined by the manufacturer is dependent on the wheel shape and strength. The strength of a bonded abrasive wheel may be defined as the ability of the wheel to withstand rotational stress.
The maximum operating speed is not necessarily the most efficient grinding speed. Better results are frequently obtained at lower than maximum operating speeds.
All wheels classified for use under Table 20 page 59 of this Code shall be used on grinding machines designed and equipped in accordance with the following Code sections:

All wheels shall be tested in accordance with Table 21. In some cases the shape, size, construction, or use conditions of the wheel make the speed test impractical or unnecessary. Examples of wheels which need not be speed tested are:
Wheels less than 6” diameter;
Diamond wheels, metal and organic bonds;
Ball grinding wheels;
Segments, segmental disc wheels and disc wheels;
Regulating wheels (for centerless type grinders);
Mounted wheels.
Explanatory Information
(NOT PART OF ANSI CODE)
The test speed subjects a grinding wheel to significantly greater forces than does the safe maximum operating speed. This test establishes an adequate factor of safety provided the wheels are used in accordance with safe practices outlined in this Code and have not been altered, damaged or abused after speed testing.
The speed test does not justify operation of the wheel at higher than the safe maximum operating speed established by the wheel manufacturer. The maximum safe speed should never be exceeded because the additional tested strength covers other normal grinding stresses.

*Actual operating speed shall be multiplied by this test factor to establish minimum speed at which wheels shall be tested by the wheel manufacturer. |
The speed of the wheel spindle on grinding machines shall be frequently checked with suitable instruments, by competent user personnel, to make sure that the speed is correct for the size and type of wheels used. A suitable record of such speed checks should be maintained by the user.
Explanatory Information
(NOT PART OF ANSI CODE)
It is of special importance that portable air grinders should be checked to be sure that proper air pressure is maintained and that the machine governor mechanism is clean, in good operating condition, and functioning properly. This reference to air grinders is not intended to overlook the necessity for a regular check of the speed of wheel spindles on all types of grinding-machines. The user should assign this responsibility to competent personnel using equipment properly designed for such speed check purposes. The user should also keep a regular inspection record of such speed checks.
If the speed of the machine wheel spindle is adjustable to compensate for wheel wear, the speed adjustment shall be under the supervision and control of competent and authorized persons only.
Explanatory Information
(NOT PART OF ANSI CODE)
Certain machines are designed with adjustable speeds to permit maintenance of efficient surface speeds by increasing the wheel spindle speed to compensate for wheel wear. Special care must be exercised under proper supervision, to be certain that the present operating speed of the machine conforms to and does not exceed the peripheral speed in surface feet per minute as established for a new wheel. (See conversion table, page 86.)
61This section of the Code is designed to recognize the importance of continuing development in the science of grinding with bonded abrasive wheels. In such development it is well to restate the fact that the maximum safe operating speed marked on a wheel is not necessarily the most efficient grinding speed. Better results may be obtained at lower speeds. Constant reference to and a knowledge of the regulations of this Code will be helpful in planning the development of new equipment.
This section also defines the responsibilities of the Wheel Manufacturers; the Machine Builders (including one who converts, changes or otherwise alters a grinding or cut off machine from the design or purpose originally supplied by the builder); and the Users of wheels and machines. It shall be understood that these areas of responsibility apply to those wheels and machines operated at Special Speeds in excess of those listed in Table 20 page 59.
Explanatory Information
(NOT PART OF ANSI CODE)
The grinding or cutting-off operations performed with bonded abrasive wheels on many different types of machines are extremely important factors in the industrial productivity of our country. It is essential that wheels be operated and that machines be designed in accordance with the sections of this Code and that the users of wheels and machines observe the safety measures applicable to them in this Code. The cooperation of all three parties should materially aid in promoting the safe use, care and protection of abrasive wheels.
Wheels used on special applications at speeds higher than those listed in Table 20 (Section 7 page 58) shall only be used subject to the following three conditions: (A), (B) and (C), on effectively guarded, fully protected machines.
Explanatory Information
(NOT PART OF ANSI CODE)
When wheels are used at speeds in excess of standard speeds listed in Table 20 page 59 extra precautions should be observed to assure safe operation of the abrasive wheel.
The wheel manufacturer shall make certain that the wheels are of adequate strength, have been tested at a suitable overspeed in accordance with Section 7.1.4 page 60, and bear the wheel manufacturer’s approval of the higher speed. See Section 1.2.17 page 4 for definition of “The Wheel Manufacturer”.
Explanatory Information
(NOT PART OF ANSI CODE)
The wheel manufacturer should do such testing as he deems necessary to establish an adequate factor of safety before approving the wheel for the higher speed. The wheel should be marked that it has been approved for high speed application under specific conditions of use.
62The machine builder shall make certain at time of manufacture that the machine is of suitable design and adequately guarded for the operation in question. See Section 1.2.18 page 5 for definition of “The Machine Builder.”
It shall be the machine builder’s responsibility to consult with a wheel manufacturer to determine that a wheel for the special speed application can be manufactured and tested in accordance with the requirements established in Section 7.1.4 page 60.
Explanatory Information
(NOT PART OF ANSI CODE)
The machine builder should be sure the components of the machine such as spindle, bearings, guards, fianges, horsepower, etc., are adequate for the grinding operation in question.
Because of design and composition limitations, certain grinding wheels will not be suitable for special speed operations. It is, therefore, important that the machine builder and grinding wheel manufacturer cooperate to make certain a wheel of adequate strength can be manufactured for the operation in question.
The machine user shall make certain that the machine is operated with approved safety guards and that the machine is maintained in a satisfactory condition, as defined in Sections 3 and 4, page 20 and page 27. See Section 1.2.19 page 5 for definition of “the User”.
Explanatory Information
(NOT PART OF ANSI CODE)
The minimum guard requirements of Section 4 page 27 should be met. Where guard data for the wheel size and operating speed to be used is not available, requirements should be established by actual test. The machine user should also maintain machines in good condition for continuing safety (see Section 3 page 20).
It shall be the wheel manufacturer’s responsibility to speed test wheels required for special speeds and so identify them as follows:
Explanatory Information
(NOT PART OF ANSI CODE)
It is important that wheels used at special speeds be tested and identified for use at the proper maximum operating speed.
It shall be the wheel manufacturer’s responsibility to speed test wheels in accordance with Table 21 page 60 to determine their suitability for safe application. Some wheels that need not be speed tested are as listed in Section 7.1.4 page 60.
Explanatory Information
(NOT PART OF ANSI CODE)
Accepted industry practice for speed testing grinding wheels is outlined in Section 7.1.4 page 60.
It shall be the wheel manufacturer’s responsibility to identify wheels which may be run at special speeds.
Explanatory Information
(NOT PART OF ANSI CODE)
Wheels approved for special speed applications should have the special speed indicated on the wheels, blotters, accompanying tags, stickers or container.
It shall be the responsibility of the machine builder to design and construct those machine components which are concerned with the proper and safe operation of the grinding or cutting-off wheels for the speed and the type of operation for which the machine is intended. Particular attention shall be given to the design of the wheel safety guards, wheel fianges and wheel mounting spindle as indicated in the following paragraphs:
Explanatory Information
(NOT PART OF ANSI CODE)
The machine builder should decide upon the fitness of the machine for the proposed operation. If it becomes necessary or desirable to convert, change or alter the machine from the design or purpose for which it was originally made by the builder it is important that the components involved with the use of the abrasive wheel be designed in accordance with the appropriate sections of this Code.
63If an existing machine is to be adapted for use at a special speed, the general machine conditions of Section 3 page 20 shall be observed and all component parts of the grinding machine shall be checked and, if necessary, modified or adjusted prior to operating at the special speed.
Explanatory Information
(NOT PART OF ANSI CODE)
It is important to remember that the grinding wheel is only one part of the grinding operation. When the speed of the wheel is increased, changes may be necessary in the machine (bearings, table traverse rates, guards, sensing devices, power, etc.), so that the entire unit will operate safely at the special speed.
Grinding and cutting off machines shall be equipped with safety guards in conformance with the requirements contained in Section 4 page 27 when applicable. When the operation is beyond the conditions for which guards in Section 4 page 27 were designed, the machine builder shall establish by test or calculation the adequacy of the guard.
Explanatory Information
(NOT PART OF ANSI CODE)
Guards built in conformance with instructions contained in Section 4 page 27 will have a safety factor which satisfies good engineering practice. When speeds in excess of those shown in Section 4 page 27 are used, either a stronger guard material or thicker guard members must be used. The increase in strength should be sufficient to maintain the proper safety factor.
Flanges shall be of such design as to satisfactorily transmit the driving torque from the spindle to the grinding wheel and conform to all requirements of Section 5 page 42.
Explanatory Information
(NOT PART OF ANSI CODE)
The driving torque is transmitted from the spindle through the flange to the wheel. Therefore, the minimum bearing area specified in Section 5 page 42 may be inadequate in these cases. The machine builder should determine by test that his design is adequate to perform its intended operation.
The user shall be responsible for the proper handling, storage, and inspection of grinding wheels after receipt, in accordance with the requirements of Section 2 page 16.
It shall be the responsibility of the user to maintain his grinding equipment in a safe operating condition at all times. Rules of safe operation of this equipment submitted by the machine builder shall be observed, as well as those rules specified in other sections of this Code.
When an existing machine is altered by the user to operate at special speeds, the user shall assume all of the responsibility of a machine builder as outlined in Section 3 page 20.
The user shall fully inform all operating personnel that only wheels identified for operation at special speeds shall be used and that at no time shall the maximum speed of the wheel be exceeded.
Protection to operating personnel, as well as adjacent areas, shall be maintained at all times.
Explanatory Information
(NOT PART OF ANSI CODE)
The maximum operating speed as determined by the manufacturer is dependent on the wheel shape and strength. The strength of a bonded abrasive wheel may be defined as the ability of the wheel to withstand rotational stress.
Under no condition should a wheel be operated faster than the maximum operating speed established by the manufacturer. This is the responsibility of the wheel user.
It is an important responsibility of the user to maintain grinding machines in a safe operating condition. Machine builders usually issue rules for the safe operation of their equipment or fasten warning signs to their machines calling attention to areas that could be unsafe if the rules or signs are disregarded. The user should recognize the importance of instructing personnel concerning these safety warnings.
Furthermore, grinding machines are usually designed to perform certain specific operations. It is strongly recommended that the machines be used only on those types of operations for which they are designed.
64It shall be the user’s responsibility to adhere to all parts of Section 2 page 16.
Explanatory Information
(NOT PART OF ANSI CODE)
It is important that all wheels be handled and stored correctly, and inspected carefully. It is recommended that wheels for special high speeds be stored in a separate or special area so that personnel will be aware they are for special applications.
It shall be the user’s responsibility to see that the machine is maintained in such condition that all requirements of Section 3 page 20 will continue to be adequate.
Explanatory Information
(NOT PART OF ANSI CODE)
It is important that the maintenance of the machine be such that the equipment remains in the same condition as originally furnished.
It shall be the user’s responsibility to maintain the guards and other protection devices in good condition. The user shall also make provision for adequate protection of the personnel in the operating area. (See Section 4.5.2 page 32.)
Explanatory Information
(NOT PART OF ANSI CODE)
When operating at special high speeds, the pieces of an accidentally broken wheel will have more force than those broken at lower speeds. It is, therefore, imperative that all guards and protective devices be maintained in good condition and correctly replaced when removed. It is also important that adjacent personnel be protected by barriers, booths or segregated work areas.
It shall be the user’s responsibility to maintain flanges in good condition according to Section 5 page 42.
Explanatory Information
(NOT PART OF ANSI CODE)
A primary function of flanges is to transfer the machine power to the abrasive wheel and grinding operation. It is therefore important that flanges be maintained as defined in Section 5 page 42. Flanges which are worn, warped or sprung can contribute to wheel breakage.
It shall be the users responsibility to see that all rules of Section 6 page 52 which apply to the particular operation are observed.
Explanatory Information
(NOT PART OF ANSI CODE)
It is extremely important that all wheels, regardless of speed of operation or the type of machine involved, be inspected before mounting (see Section 6.1 page 52) and that all rules for safe mounting practices be observed.
It shall be the user’s responsibility to see that all General Operating Rules (see Section 9 page 66) that are applicable to the special high speed operation are observed. It shall also be the user’s responsibility to follow any special operating instructions furnished by the machine builder.
Explanatory Information
(NOT PART OF ANSI CODE)
In some instances the machine builder will provide special operating instructions and/or place warning signs on his machines. These, as well as the general operating rules listed in Section 9 page 66, should be followed to insure a safe grinding operation.
65Competent persons shall be assigned to the mounting, care, and inspection of grinding wheels and machines.
The grinding wheel operator shall be fully instructed in the use, care and protection of grinding wheels as defined in this Code.
Explanatory Information
(NOT PART OF ANSI CODE)
More efficient grinding and a reduction of wheel breakages will result when the user insists that only personnel with mechanical aptitude and a good knowledge of the contents of this Code be assigned to the mounting, care, inspection and operation of grinding wheels and machines.
If a grinding wheel is broken, a careful investigation shall be made by the user to determine and correct the cause.
Explanatory Information
(NOT PART OF ANSI CODE)
Should a grinding wheel be broken in service, an investigation must be made immediately by the user to be sure that any conditions at variance with the requirements contained in this code and state laws are corrected. This will help determine the cause of the breakage so that a recurrence of the trouble can be prevented. Assistance in such an investigation may be obtained from the machine maker and the wheel manufacturer.
Before mounting a wheel, it shall be determined that the machine speed does not exceed the maximum safe operating speed for the wheel as established by the wheel manufacturer. Under no circumstances shall a wheel be mounted on a machine on which the RPM exceeds the maximum safe RPM recommended for the wheel.
Explanatory Information
(NOT PART OF ANSI CODE)
On some variable speed machines, spindle speed is governed by an interlock with the guard or some other device that allows the RPM to be increased as wheel diameter decreases. Care must be exercised to determine that such devices are in good working order, to prevent the possibility of over-speeding and wheel breakage.
After mounting a wheel, care should be taken to see that the safety guard is properly positioned before starting the wheel.
All grinding wheels shall be run at operating speed with safety guard in place or in a protected enclosure for at least one minute before applying work, during which time no one shall stand in front of or in line with the wheel. (See Section 4 page 27.)
Explanatory Information
(NOT PART OF ANSI CODE)
This regulation provides for the safety of the operator and others should there have been damage to the wheel or malfunction of the machine from any cause.
Wheels should be rebalanced by the user when and as often as necessary.
Explanatory Information
(NOT PART OF ANSI CODE)
Out of balance wheels set up vibrations which can result in marred work surfaces, machine damage and also cause stresses which could result in wheel failure. On most machines, the wheels can be rebalanced by truing.
66Out of truth wheels shall be trued by a competent person. Wheels out of balance which cannot be balanced by truing or dressing, shall be removed from the machine. (See Fig. No. 52.)
FIGURE NO. 52
The correct and incorrect method of dressing a wheel.
Explanatory Information
(NOT PART OF ANSI CODE)
Truing a wheel corrects any out of truth condition in the wheel.
Dressing a wheel alters its cutting action or shape.
A common method of dressing a wheel used in off-hand operations is shown in Fig. No. 52. Note that the dresser should be supported on a work rest, and that the work rest should be adjusted away from the wheel so that the heel of the dresser may hook over the work rest and be guided by it as the dresser is moved evenly across the wheel face.
When shutting down a wet grinding operation, the coolant should first be shut off and the wheel allowed to rotate until coolant has been spun out.
The strength of organic bonded wheels can be affected by coolants. Therefore, the concentration and alkalinity of the coolant should be checked regularly and adjusted accordingly.
Explanatory Information
(NOT PART OF ANSI CODE)
Uneven accumulation of coolant can cause excessive out of balance in a wheel.
The concentration and alkalinity of coolants determines the degree to which they affect organic bonded wheels. To avoid injurious affect upon these wheels, it is important to follow the directions of the coolant manufacturer.
Side grinding shall only be performed with wheels designed for this purpose. Grinding on the flat sides of straight wheels is often hazardous and should not be allowed on such operations when the sides of the wheel are appreciably worn thereby or when any considerable or sudden pressure is brought to bear against the sides.
Explanatory Information
(NOT PART OF ANSI CODE)
Peripheral grinding wheels should not be used for side grinding because of insufficient support to withstand the pressures exerted. Wheels designed for side grinding such as abrasive discs are mounted with one flat side against a suitable steel machine plate to safely withstand side pressure.
The machine spindle bearings shall be properly lubricated to prevent heating which might cause damage to the grinding wheel.
Explanatory Information
(NOT PART OF ANSI CODE)
Improperly lubricated spindle bearings will cause the mounting spindle to expand because of heat generated thus exerting a stress in the arbor hole area.
67All spindles, adaptors, flanges or other machine parts on which wheels fit, shall be periodically inspected and maintained to size. (See Section 3 page 20.)
On offhand grinding machines (see sec. 1.3.6, page 6) work rests shall be used to support the work. They shall be of rigid construction and designed to be adjustable to compensate for wheel wear.
Work rests shall be kept adjusted closely to the wheel with a maximum opening of ½” to prevent the work from being jammed between the wheel and the rest, which may cause wheel breakage. The work rest shall be securely clamped after each adjustment. The adjustment shall not be made with the wheel in motion.
Explanatory Information
(NOT PART OF ANSI CODE)
ILLUSTRATION No. 80
This floor stand grinder has a work rest which is property adjusted. Note the provisions for work-rest adjustment.
Large hole inorganic bonded wheels (those with hole in excess of ¼ of the wheel diameter) should not be used on snagging or other heavy duty operations.
Explanatory Information
(NOT PART OF ANSI CODE)
Since the strength of a grinding wheel decreases as its diameter approaches its hole size, it is not advisable to use large hole inorganic wheels for rough grinding operations since ample cross section required for strength is not maintained throughout the life of the wheel.
The fact that large hole inorganic bonded wheels cannot be manufactured with reinforcing media near the hole makes them unsuitable for rough grinding operations.
68The maximum safe operating speed for mounted wheels shall be determined by the following four factors:
Taking the first three factors noted above into consideration, look up the maximum safe operating speed in the corresponding Tables 23 through 31 page 72 through page 85, The overhangs indicated on the charts are for unthreaded mandrels. Threaded mandrels will take the same speed as the ½ inch overhang of the unthreaded mandrel.
Tables 23 through 31 page 72 through page 85 are set up for medium and high strength wheels. If the specification indicates a low strength wheel consult the wheel manufacturer for speeds. In no case shall the maximum operating speed recommended by the manufacturer be exceeded.
Exception: Under certain ideal conditions of truth and balance where the operation is fully guarded, it may be permissible to operate at a speed higher than the indicated maximum safe operating speed, provided the speed shown in section 10.2 page 70, is not exceeded.
FIGURE NO. 53
Sketches defining everhand dimension “O” See Tables 23 through 31.
Explanatory Information
(NOT PART OF ANSI CODE)
Maximum safe speeds for mounted wheels are generally limited by the size and shape of the wheel, the mandrel material and diameter, and the distance from the mounting chuck to the abrasive body (overhang).
Due to the size of some mounted wheels, it is necessary to reduce the size of the mandrel where it enters the wheel. These are called tapered mandrels. It will be noted however, that the resistance to bending or whipping due to speed is dependent on the size of the mandrel at the point where it is chucked, so that the size of the mandrel for speed purposes will be the diameter of the chucked section.
As threading reduces the effective diameter of the mandrel, mounted wheels with threaded mandrels require lower operating speeds than the same size unthreaded mandrels. Because these mandrels are usually short and held closely in the chuck, the tables give only the speeds for ½ inch overhang.
Tables 23 to 31 page 72 through page 85 indicate the maximum operating speeds for various standard mounted wheels in combination with several standard mandrel sizes and various overhangs. For many common combinations, the maximum operating speeds can be read directly from the tables. For intermediate wheel and mandrel sizes and overhangs not shown the maximum operating speed can be determined by interpolation.
If it is found that the desired combination of conditions would result in operation beyond the maximum speed, a slight change in any one of the following conditions may be all that is necessary to eliminate the danger of operating over the maximum safe speed. Such corrective steps are:
1. For a given shape, reducing the size of the wheel (either diameter or thickness, or both) will raise the maximum speed.
2. Increasing the diameter of the mandrel will raise the maximum speed.
3. Reducing the overhang (pushing the mandrel back into the chuck) will raise the maximum speed.
69Table 22 shows the maximum operating speed for various diameters of mounted wheels. This speed shall not be exceeded even though higher speeds than the maximum safe operating speed are used under the exception in Section 10.1 page 69.

Explanatory Information
(NOT PART OF ANSI CODE)
Tables 23 to 31 page 72 through page 85 are based on the several factors which affect the maximum safe operating speed, however, there is a limiting speed beyond which no mounted wheel should be run due to the inherent strength of the abrasive body itself. This is the speed set up in Table 22. No matter what factors of wheel size, shape or specification, mandrel size, overhang, or machine conditions are changed, the speeds in Table 22 shall not be exceeded.

Work pressure, if excessive, can be the cause of trouble and a source of danger, through bending or fracture of the mandrel. If there is burning of the work or excessive reduction in mandrel speed, it is quite likely that excessive pressure is being used. A freer cutting wheel specification may permit the desired rate of stock removal without excessive pressure.

Note: “Centrifugal Force,” which is the force that tends to rupture a given wheel when overspeeding, increases as the square of the velocity of that wheel. For example, the centrifugal force in a wheel running at 5,500 surface feet per minute is 49 per cent greater than in the same wheel running at 4,500 surface feet per minute, although the speed is actually only 22 per cent greater. |
While not part of this Code, the following relates a number of factors which contribute to the safe operation of grinding wheels. Safety is everyone’s business.
Abrasive wheels should be used with operator safety in mind and in conjunction with the type of protective devices most effective for each application.
There are two main classes of protection devices: those that protect the operator (A.3.1), and those that provide protection to others in the work area (A.3.2).
The most positive way to protect the operator as well as others in the immediate area is by guarding the wheel effectively. Section 4 (Safety Guards) page 27 explains the provisions necessary for adequate guarding. A guard protects the operator either by containing or deflecting the pieces of an accidentally broken wheel. Guards also control sparks and swarf.
Because the grinding operation produces sparks and swarf, eye protection is of utmost importance. Safety goggles or face shields shall be worn at all times in the grinding area. Dust masks may be required as well.
Safety aprons, gloves, safety shoes, and other protective clothing should be worn as required by the nature of the grinding operation. Well designed protective clothing will allow the operator to work more efficiently and safely.
Dust masks may be required in an extremely dusty or contaminated environment.
In some operations, partitions, walls, or separate grinding booths will provide protection to other people nearby.
Adequate ventilation and swarf removal should be provided in the grinding area.
The cup wheel back bushing is a metallic cup with a mounting bushing which encases the back and extends from the back partially down the side of the wheel and is an integral part thereof. This device, while not providing the same protection as a stationary guard, does reinforce the wheel while in use.
Steel rings are generally used in large hole organic bonded snagging wheels. They are molded into the wheel and serve to reinforce the wheel as it approaches discard size.
Fiberglass and filament reinforcing is molded on or into organic bonded wheels. This type of reinforcing increases the ability of wheels of withstand operational forces when cracked.
Certain types of wheels are wrapped with bands of wire or tape. Such wrapping acts as a reinforcement of the wheel and can also serve to protect the wheel during handling, shipping, and storage.

The standard in this booklet is one of nearly 4,000 standards approved to date by the American National Standards Institute, formerly the USA Standards Institute.
The Standards Institute provides the machinery for creating voluntary standards. It serves to eliminate duplication of standards activities and to weld conflicting standards into single, nationally accepted standards under the designation “American National Standards.”
Each standard represents general agreement among maker, seller, and user groups as to the best current practice with regard to some specific problem. Thus the completed standards cut across the whole fabric of production, distribution, and consumption of goods and services. American National Standards, by reason of Institute procedures, reflect a national consensus of manufacturers, consumers, and scientific, technical, and professional organizations, and governmental agencies. The completed standards are used widely by industry and commerce and often by municipal, state, and federal governments.
The Standards Institute, under whose auspices this work is being done, is the United States clearing house and coordinating body for standards activity on the national level. It is a federation of trade associations, technical societies, professional groups, and consumer organizations. Some 1,000 companies are affiliated with the Institute as company members.
The American National Standards Institute is the United States member of the International Organization for Standardization (ISO), the International Electro-technical Commission (IEC), and the Pan American Standards Commission (COPANT). Through these channels American industry makes its position felt on the international level. American National Standards are on file in the libraries of the national standards bodies of more than 50 countries.
