OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS (Continued)
Front Face Grinding
NOTE: Some bedknives require front face grinding. Check with the bedknife manufacturer to determine if front
face grinding is required.
1. Rotate the bedknife and bedknife support back to the desired angle.
2. Infeed the grinding wheel until it is a few thousandths of an inch away from the bedknife front surface.
3. If the grinding wheel does not clear the entire length of the bedknife, or if the bedknife is not aligned with the
grinding wheel it may be necessary to align the bedknife.
4. Turn on the grinding motor switch and slowly infeed the wheel to the bedknife until there is a light grind. Turn
the infeed handwheel counterclockwise to infeed the grinding wheel. Manually traverse the carriage back and
forth. When infeeding, only infeed a maximum of approximatly .002-.003" [.05-.075mm] .
IMPORTANT! NEVER ALLOW THE BEDKNIFE EDGE TO CHANGE COLOR OR YOU MAY LOSE THE
TEMPER IN THE BEDNIFE EDGE.
IMPORTANT! When manually traveling the carriage on the BG1000, it is very important to use consistent
speed and pressure. Do not lean on the machine or bump the rails.
NOTE: During the grinding process, watch the spark pattern for the full length of grind, the sparks
should look equal for the full length of grind.
NOTE: If an excessive amount of metal stock will have to be removed on one end of the
bedknife, recheck your setup first and then the straightness of the bedknife. If it is bowed or
twisted, replace it.
.
5. Continue grinding the bedknife in this manner until you are satisfied with the front face grind. Dress the wheel
when necessary.
6. Dress the wheel before the final spark out grind.
WHEN REMOVING THE BEDKNIFE FROM THE MACHINE
TAKE CARE AS THE CUTTING EDGE OF THE BEDKIFE IS
EXTREMELY SHARP.
