Tips for best results
- Always ensure a proper guard and mounting hardware compatible with a 7/8" arbor are used; securely fasten the wheel with the correct flange and nut.
- Inspect the wheel for cracks or damage before mounting; replace if any defects are found.
- Let the grinder do the work—avoid side-loading and excessive pressure; leaning into the cut can cause wheel glazing or breakage.
- Wear appropriate PPE (eye protection, gloves, and a face shield) and secure the workpiece to prevent slippage during cutting.
