4. Handling of machine

1) Lifting the machine


When lifting up the machine transported into the factory by train
or truck, fix the table at the middle of the bed (fasten in
fig. 1) and set the dogs (T) at right and left shown in fig. 1,
on stoppers (?) as illustrated in fig. 3, and then move the wheel
head to the table as closely as possible. The wire ropes to be
used for this work should be strong enough to withstand a weight
of 2000 kg. (4400 lbs.). The portions where the wire ropes may
touch should be protected by using wood blocks and rugs. Again,
The machine should be protected from any crush, which may cause
some inaccurate movements later on.

2) Inspection and cleaning of machine


An inspection to find some damaged portion which might have been
caused by shock during the transportation, as well as to find
if there are some parts, the standard equipment missing, should
be made after the arrival of the machine in your works. (The
standard equipment are listed in the table No. 2 of fig. 6.)

The dirty spots possibly made during the packing of the machine
should be cleaned, and the antirust liquid should be thoroughly
washed out by a proper oil.

3) Foundation and installation


The machining accuracy obtained owes very much to the foundation
and installation of the machine. For this reason, a perfect
foundation with proper thickness and pressure-enduring space must
be provided according to the ground nature, as specified in fig. 2,
"floor plan". (In general case, a thickness of 300 mm (12") is
considered to be enough.)

If the concrete floor of your words is originally provided with


an enough strength, there is no need to make up a special founda¬
tion.

When the machine is now placed on the installing place, fix it with

the fixing device at three portions, each consisting of leveling
bolt (33), nut (34) and leveling pad (35), (see fig. (\ , and by
which level up the machine in either longitudinal or cross direc¬
tion using a leveling device for precision measurement.

4) Wiring
After installing the machine, connect the wires of the power
source to the terminals (R, S, T) , l) , for 3-phase supply, which
you see among the terminals equipped in the electro-magnetic con¬
trol box, when you open the cover by the provided handle.
Confirm that the power source plug for grinding spindle motor is
inserted in the socket illustrated in the fig. 10, as 1 .
Now the power source indication lamp ( 2) in fig. 8) will be lighted
when you set the main switch (1 in fig. 8) "ON".
Then turn the selection switch for grinding spindle (3 in fig.
9) to the right. The grinding wheel spindle will then rotate when
you push in the spindle-start push-button. ('1 in fig. 9) When
you see the spindle rotating in counter-clockwise direction, view¬
ed from the opposite side of the belt-cover ( (l9) in fig. 1), the
spindle is running in the specific direction. However, should you
find it running in clockwise direction, it is reversed rotation.

5) Lubrication
Special care on lubrication should be taken to maintain the service
life and performance of the machine for a long period. For this
reason, specified oil given in the table 1, or oil of equal or better
quality, must be used for the respective parts in fig. 5
The built-in lubrication pump ( 1 ) is capable of containing 1 litter
(61 cubic inch) oil.

2) Mechanism for table logitudinal movement
Fig. 11 depicts the structure of table longitudinal movement.
The sliding method between the bridge and sliding-table is of a
nonwearing type, utilizing the balls, ball races, and the ball
retainers. The table is moved longitudinally by means of the
table feeding knob or the table fine feed crank handle, which
turns the table longitudinal feed shaft. The shaft winds the
wire-rope of which each end is fixed to the sliding-table, into
each right and left side drum, installed on the table longitudinal
feed shaft, and thus achieves longitudinal feed of table smoothly
without any backlash. (Maximum movement is 400 mm (16")).

The table movement can be adjusted by the dogs (7) provided both
right and left, which are shown in fig. 1.
The wire-rope tension can also be adjusted by the knob (2) in fig.
11.
The tension should be adjusted properly so as to allow smooth
movement of the table, i.e., too much lag causes an over move¬
ment and too much tension of the wire-rope loses smoothness of
the table movement.

The mechanism of the crank handle for table fine feed ((15) in
fig. 1) consists of differential gears, permitting a table move¬
ment of 12 mm (1/2") by one revolution of (1). (Shown in fig. 12)
One revolution of the knob ((8) in fig. 1) for table movement

permits a 126 mm (5") movement. However, care should be taken


of the fact that the knob can in no way be turned unless (2) in
fig. 12 is pushed to the left on the diagram, (actually push (2)
forward from the side of the machine front.), and the gear mesh¬
ing is disconnected.
For the easiest operation, set (1) in fig. 13 (located on the same
axis with (8) in fig. 1 and 12, but at the opposite side) at any
place where is considered most convenient for the operator. The
setting of (1) can be done by fixing the shaft steady by means of
the fixing screw (2) in the figure, and then by drawing the holder
(3), which clamps (1), to the left, and moving the jaw-clutch, re-
leased, up to the required position. (1) can be fixed at the posi¬
tion by means of the jaw-clutch which is automatically engaged by
the action of spring.

3) Mechanism of grinding wheel head cross movement


The cross movement of the grinding wheel head can be achieved by
(31) in fig. 1 the saddle which is connected with the elevation
column for the grinding head vertical movement. The saddle is
moved by means of turning the handle for the saddle cross move¬
ment, ((10) or (25) in fig. 1). The maximum cross movement of the
grinding wheel head is 250 mm (10") .
One revolution of the handle for the cross movement, in the way as
given in fig. 14, gives the saddle, namely, the grinding wheel
head, 3 mm "0.1" movement.
The fine adjustment of the grinding wheel head cross movement is
done by means of the graduated collar (2) . The collar is given
300 (100) equal divisions, of which one division corresponds to
0.01 mm (0.001") movement.
The grinding wheel head can be set at any position required by
turning only the graduated collar (2) , and not turning the wheel,
handle (1) for the cross movement.
Setting of the collar is secured by means of a special mechanism
which prevents it from slipping out of the set position; the collar
turns together with the wheel handle.

4) Mechanism of grinding wheel head vertical movement


The vertical movement of the grinding wheel head can be done by
means of the handle wheel (Refer to (26) in fig. 1), provided at
the both sides of the machine.

Figure 15 illustrates the hand wheel situated at the left side of the
machine, and capable of being fed by 90° in the way as depicted
by the double dotted line, after pulling forward (1) so that it
will not obstruct the work. (In the drawing, pull (1) in the
direction to right.)

The handwheel is directly combined with the worm axle. The


pinion is driven by turning the handwheel through the worm and
the worm wheel. The pinion is meshing with the rack, and the ele¬
vation column, on which the rack is mounted, makes up-and-down
movement on the basis of the elevation column base, connected with
the saddle. The grinding wheel head is, thus, given a vertical
movement, as it is fixed with the elevation column. 3 mm (0.1")
move is given to the grinding wheel head by one revolution of the
wheel head. The micrometer adjustment of the grinding head move¬
ment is done by means of the graduated collar. One division out
of the 300 (200) equal divisions furnished on the collar, in the
same way as the grinding head cross movement, corresponds to a fine

24 -
movement of 0.01 mm (0.0005").
The grinding wheel head can also be set at any desired position by
only turning the graduated collar, and not turning the hand wheel.
A special advantageous mechanism locks to prevent the collar from
slipping out of the set position, and to turn together with the
hand wheel.

5) Handling of the grinding wheel head


(1) Structure
The grinding wheel head consists of its body, grinding wheel
spindle, motor, tilting base, etc. (Refer to diagram No. 16.)
(2) Grinding wheel spindle
The grinding wheel spindle is of a two points-support system,
and is furnished with angular contact ball bearing at each
portion.
The preload is given by fastening the nut. The construction
is so designed that the spindle is securely protected from
being influenced by the thermal expansion. Grease is used
for the lubrication of the bearings. (Refer to table 1.)
The grinding spindle is assembled with our best care, in our
shop with a constant temperature. But should you find it out
of order, caused by some reason, please contact us or our
business office immediately. We will soon repair it.

TABLE 4

Grinding wheel spindle speed (r.p.m.)

Low speed 2,600

Medium speed 3,700

High speed 6,200

(3) Speed change of the grinding wheel spindle


The spindle speed is divided into three groups, low, medium
and high speed which you see in table 4.
Refer to fig. 17 by taking off the perforated bolt (4), and
then removing the belt cover (2), you can see the motor pul¬
ley (3) and grinding wheel pulley (4) , 3 stepped respectively.
Outside one is low speed use, middle medium speed use and
inside high speed use, all V-grooved.
The belt tension is adjusted by displacing the motor by means
of turning the hexagon nut (15) , after loosening the two
hexagon bolts (T) which fix the motor to the swiveling base,
in the way as illustrated in fig. 16. After the adjustment
of the belt tension, don't forget to tighten the two bolts
(7), to fix the motor securely.

In case the belt is leaning toward one side only between the
grinding spindle and the motor shaft, it can be adjusted by
means of the locking screw (T) and the eccentric pin (6),
which are provided in between the two hexagon bolts as
mentioned above, which please loosen first.
(4) Swivelling and angle setting (Refer to Fig. 16.)
The grinding wheel spindle is capable of swivelling by 360°
on the plain, and also tilting by 30° (+15°) vertically.
a) Horizontal swivel of the grinding wheel head (swivel of
the angular base)
The 360° horizontal swivel is possible by loosening the
hexagon nut (1ÿ) , which is locking the angular base 8 .
The graduation furnished on the collar (12) which is
placed on the top of the dust guard mounted on the eleva¬
tion column (up-and down movement only, no swivel), is

26

n
so set that 0° is on the longitudinal direction, and 90°
on the cross direction, at an interval of 1° each. The
angular base is furnished with the graduation at its
lower part, at a unit of 1°, but not at an equal division,
from 0° to 15°.
The horizontal swivel of the grinding wheel head, there¬
fore, is achieved by swivelling the angular base by a
desired degree by means of the collar on the top of the
dust guard bellows on the basis of the graduation (for
instance 0°) at the lower part of the angular base, and
then, locking the base at that position with the hexagon
nut.

b) Swivelling of the swivel base


Fig. 17 illustrates that the swivel base can be swivel¬
led by 360° against the angular base, by means of loosen¬
ing the hexagon nut (13), (counter clockwise) which you
can see at the upper part of the angular base. The grind¬
ing head body (4) and the motor (1) are mounted and fixed
on this swivel base (10). The upper face of the angular
base is furnished with graduations in the same way as the
lower part; at a unit of 1 degree, but not at an equal
division, by 15°. The upper face of the angular base is
being inclined by 15°.
c) Tilting of the grinding wheel spindle
The tilting of the grinding wheel spindle can be obtained
by combining the above described (a) and (b) swivel of
the angular base and the one of the swivel base.
As an example, when you obtain a tilting of the grinding
spindle, situated horizontal and at a right angle against the
table movement, as shown in fig. 19, by an angle , first,
loosen the hexagon nut (l3) (fig. 16) which is fixing the
angle base as well as the swivel base, and then swivel the
swivelling base by the required degree , on the basis of the
zero-line of the swivelling base. Namely, fasten the hexagonal
nut in accordance with the graduation of the angle base.
At this position, however, it is given a horizontal swivel
simultaneously, and therefore, the angle base has to be turned

This work shall be performed by the following operation:
Loosen the hexagon nut (1ÿ) in fig. 16, which you can see
at the lower part of the angle base, and then, turn the angle

base horizontally by the angle , by which the swivel base


was swivelled, in the opposite direction from the one in which
the swivel base was turned, by means of the graduation pro¬
vided at the lower part of the angle base, on the basis of
the zero-line of the collar provided on the dust guard bel¬
lows .

6) Tailstock and workhead


When setting the right and left-hand tailstocks, or the workhead
(illustrated in fig. 6) on the table, (here take the right-hand
tailstock and the workhead as an example), loosen the screws (1)
situated at the front of these units which you see in figs. 19
and 20, and then, set them on one side of the T-slot of the swivel¬
ling table (5). After they are set in the way as above, tighten
the T-bolt (2).
The same method is also applied to set the left-hand tailstock.
In fig. 19, the center (7), supported by the right-hand tailstock
(6) can also be adjusted by means of lever (Ji) and adjusting screw

29
(V) . The work-head main body (jB) in fig. (20) swivels 360° hori¬
zontally by loosing the hexagon bolt (6) with the swivel base,
and also tilts vertically by loosening the heaagonal bolt (7).
The swivelling angle can be determined and set, in case of a
horizontal swivel, on the basis of the graduation of the base (3),
and of the zero line of the swivel base, and in case of a vertical
tilt, on the basis of the graduation of the swivel base and the
zero-line of the workhead body. The work spindle (9) can be fixed
by locking screw @1 .
In order to turn the collar (ll) , furnished with graduation (+15°),
for a relief angle adjustment, without turning the workspindle;
fix the workspindle, and then loosen the locking-screw, which is
provided at the opposite side of the position where the screw for
lubrication is provided.

7) Adjustment of the swivel table
The swivel table 1 which is mounted on the sliding table 2 ,
(fig. 21) , can be turned by 180° at the maximum, though the
swivelling angle possible by means of the graduation is by +60°.

The swivelling of the table can be performed by loosening the two


hexagonal nuts (3) (fig. 21), and turning the eccentric
pin (5), by over 90° in clockwise direction from the position in¬
dicated in the figure, and also by taking off the taper adjusting
pin (6) in fig. 22.
When adjusting the taper of the swivel table, use the graduation
available by +10° at the maximum, which is depicted in the figure
21.
The above adjusting operation can be done by loosening the two
hexagonal nuts for fixing the swivel table (3), and then, turning
the taper adjusting screw (T) ; while the eccentric pin (5) remains
at the position as specified in the figure. When the taper adjust¬
ing pin (6) is inserted in the slot A of the taper adjusting plate

@, as shown in fig. 22, it can only be adjusted by the angle of


about +7°, but no more.
If an adjustment of more than 7 degrees is required, you shall
transfer the taper adjusting pin from the slot A to B. Moreover ,
when you wish to adjust the table by more than 7 degrees in the
opposite direction, take off the cork (8), and replace the taper
adjusting screw as designated by a dotted line in the figure, and
then, insert the taper adjusting pin into the slot C of the taper
adjusting plate.

6. Preparations for grinding cutters


1) Direction of rotation of grinding wheel
The running direction of the grinding wheel against the tooth edge
is explained by two facts, i.e., the direction in which the work
approaches the wheel, and the other in which the wheel passes away.
In fig. 23, the former case is taken. In this way, the grinding
finish is better than the other, as the tooth edge is protected
from any burr. Therefore, the former method is recommended usually,
except in a case when the latter is used, for some special reason.

Fig. 23

32
2) Truing the wheel
The grinding wheel should be dressed from time to time, in order
to obtain a better finish on the relief angle, as well as to grind
the tooth edge sharp. Generally, for this dressing, a carborundum
stick or a piece of a wheel is used. For an accurate dressing,
however, the diamond dressing device @) , which is set on the
table by (2j|) , listed in fig. 6, (standard equipment), should be
used in the way as illustrated left in fig. 24. (Pay attention to
the rotating direction.)

In accordance with the kind of operations, the blade is

fixed on the adjustable tooth rest or stationary tooth rest.


These tooth rests, with universal tooth rest plate and extension
bar (standard equipment No. 24 and 19 in Fig. 6), are mounted
either on table, work-head or grinding wheel head.
In case of grinding the plain milling cutters and the like, as
the tooth rest supports the edge point of cutter, it should be
firmly fixed as far as possible to eliminate overhang irrespec¬
tive of where it is fixed. Closer the distance between the grind¬
ing wheel is tooth rest the better. Ordinarily, 5 mm distance is
desirable.

5) Center Gauge
In order to obtain the relief angle, you should at first set the
tooth of cutter to be ground at the same level with the center of
cutter. In this case center gauge (Z) (fig. 6-13) with center
hight indicator (ÿ3) shown in fig. 26 is used.
This gauge's hight from bottom to top is made same to that of
center which supports cutter, that is center hight of tail-stock.

Center gauge is used not only for setting the position of tooth
on the table but also levelling both centers of tail stock and
work-head by adjusting the zero line at the right and left of
grinding wheel head to the center high indicator of center gauge
(which is done by vertical adjustment of grinding wheel head) .
Tip of this center hight indicator is also made to coincide with

36 -
the center line of grinding wheel head even when it is put on the
grinding wheel head, so that it is possible for the tip of cutter
to coincide with the center hight of tail-stock and work-head

(Ref. fig. 27 and 28), fig. 29 shows different usages for right
and left handed milling cutters. In this figure, A, B shows the
case when it is put on the table and C, D shows the case when it
is put on the grinding wheel head.

6) Safety precautions
(1) Dust insulation glasses
Please always wear dust insulation glasses to protect
your eyes from dust, when grinding.
(2) Wheel guard
The wheel guard is so provided that the pieces of the wheel
will never scatter, when the wheel breaks. The wheels should
always be covered with the wheel guard corresponding to the
Nos. from 25 to 27, listed in fig. 6 for the standard equip¬
ment.
(3) Setting up of grinding wheel
The grinding wheel shall be installed on the grinding wheel
spindle with the wheel sleeve (10), washer (11), washer with
rubber (12) and the nut (13); standard equipments, illustrat-
ed in fig. 17. Next , the wheel sleeve mentioned above shall
be fixed on the spindle by the perforated bolt (16) with the
spring washer (15) in between. The dished wheel (51) in fig.
6, shall be fixed on the extended grinding wheel spindle (38)

38 -

1
in fig. 6, while the grinding wheel (49) in fig. 6 shall
be fixed on the extended spindle with the washer (39) in
fig. 6 in between. When using a grinding wheel which is
not listed in the standard equipments, you shall first

select the speed of the wheel, from table 4, which is lower


than the permissible speed, but meets the required speed
for grinding the workpiece. In such case, the wheel should
be fixed on the spindle with some washer or some elastic
article which could take the place of (28) or (30), in
event you cannot use the washer (28) and the washer with

rubber (30). You may use some blotting paper or leather,


but the thickness of the paper should not exceed 0.6 mm
(0.025"), while the one of the leather, 3 mm (0.1"). The
outside diameter of the washer should be the same or a
little bigger than the one of the wheel sleeve. When
fastening the wheel sleeve, washer, grinding wheel, washer
with rubber and the nut together, you should pay a strict
attention to ascertain that there is no alien substance
among them.
(4) Inspection and storage of grinding wheel
The experts should be in charge of installing the wheel,
maintenance and the inspection of the wheels. Inspect
the wheels as soon as they are delivered to you, to find
if there is some damage on them caused during transporta¬
tion.
It can be judged by the sound coming out from the wheel,
when striking the wheel, hunging down, with a shank of a
screw driver, to find whether or not the wheel has a
crack. In this inspection, you must take off the saw¬
dust, if any; or you must dry the wheel, if it is wet.
The wheel composed of an organic substance does not sound
as well as the wheel made of vitrified or silicate sub¬
stance does, and therefore, you need to listen to the
sound carefully to find whether or not the wheel has any
crack. It is desirable to keep the wheels in a rack hang¬
ing from a nail respectively in a place where it is dry.
(5) Operation rules and general precautions on works
Before you actually start a grinding work with a new wheel,

39

j. 6
check the wheel by turning it at the full speed for a minute.
In this case, the operator should carefully inspect the wheel
running, standing aside. The workpiece should be gradually
ground so as to heat up the wheel, which at the beginning,
may be cold. This way of work will prevent the wheel from
becoming damaged. Special care should be taken on the above
matter, when using a cold wheel soon after it is brought in
from cold storage, or an early cold morning. The grind¬
ing work with the flank of a flat wheel is generally accom¬
panied with danger. You must not, therefore, start grinding
until the wheel flank is properly heated up, or you must not

push strongly the workpiece to the wheel. The wheel fixing


nut should not be too strongly fastened, other-wise, the wheel
will be deformed, and the relating parts will be broken.
The machine, except the machine equipped with a mist type
coolant system, should be equipped with a dust collector
(extra attachment) for an insurance purpose.

7. Grinding cutters
This machine is available for grinding the following cutters with its
standard equipments:
Plain mill, end mill, shell end mill, face mill, key seat milling cut¬
ter, slot milling cutters, side mill, mill with staggered teeth, an¬
gular cutter, metal saw, tap and reamer.
1) General descriptions on grinding cutters
The cutters which can be ground on this machine can be devided
into the following (1) and (2) groups, each ground by means of a
special method.
(1) Grinding of peripheral teeth
The cutters which belong to this group are the ones of which
external face is ground to provide them with No. 1 and No. 2
relief angles on the back side of the edges (fig. 30) . Most
of the cutters to be ground on this machine belong to this
group. The plain mill is one of the examples. The cutter's
edge of this kind can be ground repeatedly, and thus, enables
continual cutting operation. An inaccurate grinding of the

40

4I
cutter, in many cases, makes chatter marks on the finished
surface of a workpiece. For this reason, the relief angle
of every kind of cutters has to be carefully selected. The
smaller the relief angle the better the heat escapes, and
also the stronger the cutter edge becomes. On the other

hand, too big a relief angle weakens the cutter edge and makes
a heavy cutting work impossible. Again, too small of an an¬
gle causes a touch of its back portion to the workpiece.
Therefore, a proper selection of the relief angle should be
made for the most suitable grinding work, taking those facts
into consideration.
No. 1 relief angle with a big land causes a touch of its back
side to the workpiece, though theoretically, it is more suit¬
able for the grinding work than a smaller one, and it makes
the surface of the workpiece unfavorably finished. The cut¬
ter edge, thus, becomes necessary to be furnished with No. 2
relief angle, in order to make the land of the No. 1 relief
angle equal to the first one, as illustrated in fig. 30, by
the hatched lines, (a).
The relief angles which are generally admitted to be appli¬
cable for the mills, are listed up in the table 7.
Fig. 31 illustrates names and grinding angles of carbide face
mills with inserted teeth (for the cutting of iron castings).

After forming the relief angle, an inspection should be made
to confirm if the ground angle is correct. The inspection
shall be carried out by sliding the provided dial gauge on
the ground angle, in the manner as shown in fig. 32.
From the diagram an equality of

tan = h/L
can be obtained. The figures listed in the table 8 are cal¬
culated on the basis of the above formula, and show the value
of "indicating length" h to be applied for the angle of 30'

(2) Grinding of face
The relieved, formed cutter can be provided with an edge by
grinding the front face of the cutter. This kind of cutter
is provided with a uniform shape to form a required contour,
which is preliminarily made. Therefore, the tool with an
edge only needs a grinding on its front face.
The relieving is already made by the tool and cutter manu¬
facturers when they produce them such as the formed cutters,
hobbing cutters, etc.
When you grind the front face of the cutter, the cutter shall
be fitted in the manner as illustrated in fig. 33, so that
the center line of the cutter and the grinding face of the
wheel will be placed on the same line.
For instance, when providing the formed cutter which is re¬
lieved, with a rake angle, you obtain it by swivelling the
cutter by the angle equal to the rake angle to be ground, as
shown in fig. 34; while the grinding wheel face shall be
moved by the distance "A". Or in the other way, a correct
grinding of the rake angle can be carried out without swivel¬
ling the cutter; but tilting the grinding spindle vertically
by the degree of the rake angle, and thus, matching the rake
face with the grinding face of the wheel. When grinding the
front face of the helical teeth, it has to be ground with
the conical portion of the wheel, in the way as depicted in
fig. 33, with dotted lines. In this instance, a vertical
tilt of the grinding spindle is also made to incline the
wheel, and to grind the rake angle with the conical portion
of the wheel.
For matching the center line of the cutter with the wheel

face, a gauge should be used as shown in fig. 35.


Cutters of this kind must be ground accurately, otherwise
the shape of their blades will be deformed. The most effec-
tive and easiest way of inspection of the cutters without
rake angle as shown in fig. 33, is to set the block gauge
(4-7/8" high) so that its height will become the same
as the tail-stock, in the way as depicted in fig. 36.

44
C
Then, adjust the dial gauge until its reading at the top of
the block gauge becomes "0".

The block gauge shall be, then, taken away. Then, turn the
cutter until its external end touches the contacting point

of the dial gauge, where the cutter shall be adjusted until


the reading of the dial gauge becomes "0" . An accurate grind-
ing is secured by the fact that the reading of the dial gauge
is "0" when it is fed toward the cutter center.
For grinding the formed cutter with straight teeth, the formed
cutter grinding attachment (extra attachment) can be used,

2) Grinding a plain mill


(1) With a straight wheel
The first method, applied for grinding the peripheral teeth
of the plain mill with a straight wheel, is to set the tooth rest
at the position where the cutter edge is set as shown in fig.

26. The tooth rest shall be set at the table side (moves
with the cutter), when the cutter to be ground is of a straight
groove type, and when the cutter is of a helical groove type,
at the grinding head or at the bridge side.
As shown in fig. 37, when equipping the table with the tooth
rest, use an adjustable tooth rest ((21) in fig. 6); while
between the tailstock centers, mount the arbor which is pro¬
vided with the cutter. The center gauge is used to adjust
the center height of the wheel and the cutter, and to set the
two on the same height. (Adjust and set the height of the
head at the position where coincides with the height of the gauge
top, by moving the head vertically.) The relief angle can be
obtained by means of moving the wheel center (grinding head) up¬
ward by a distance "A" according to the degree of the relief angle.
(fig. 37)
Move the head downward for negative rake.

- 46

4-7
On the basis of the clearance angles and wheel diameter D,

an equality to obtain the traveling distance A of the grind¬


ing head:
A = D/2 sinrd
is obtained. It would be convenient for you if you preli¬
minarily calculate respective value for the clearance angle
, and make a list of it.
Table 9 shows the value of A, when the diameter of the wheel
(or the cutter) D = 6 300 mm (l/4"~ 12") , and = 3 -7°.
When a dish shaped wheel if used for the grinding work, the
diameter of the cutter should be used for D in place of the
wheel diameter.
The second method of grinding the cutters with the flat wheels,
is to set the relief angle by means of using the relief angle
adjusting dial (1) and the relief angle adjusting dog (4)
((31) and (30) in fig. 6), as illustrated in fig. 38. Then,
insert the dial (1) which is furnished with a graduated plate
(2) into the center of the tailstock (8), and fix it by tight¬

ening the hexagon bolt (cannot be seen in the figure, but


is screwed in on the dial.). (If the basic line on the dial

and the graduation "0" on the plate do not coincide, ad¬


just the dial till they do. Then, set it by the locking
screw (9) ) .
Next, mount the arbor (6) provided with the cutter (5), between
the right and left tailstocks ((8) and (7)), and then, set the
tooth edge to be ground first at the same height with the
center of the cutter, by means of the center gauge. On the
other side, fix the dog (4) on the arbor with the provided
set screw (10), after inserting the pin (3), which is driven

into the dog, into the hole on the graduated plate. The coin¬
cidence of the tooth edge, set at the height of the cutter
center, with "0°" on the graduated plate can be, thus, ob¬
tained .
The tooth edge to be ground can be moved by , the relief
angle, from its horizontal position, by turning the cutter,
by means of the graduated plate, by the degree required, as

shown in fig. 39.
In this case, the locking screw (9) must be loosened to set
the graduated plate free so that it can be turned freely to¬
gether with the dog and the cutter.
When the tooth edge is set at the angle , fasten the set
screw (9) to fix the graduated plate.
When grinding the peripheral teeth of a cutter, inserted in¬
to the tapered hole of the workhead, turn the cutter by the
degree of the relief angle to be ground, by means of the
workhead spindle collar (11) which is furnished with gradua¬
tion, as shown in fig. 20.
The wheel center where the tooth edge of the cutter, mounted
on the table, is to be ground, must coincide with the height
of the tooth rest, that is, the height of the tooth edge.
(fig. 39)
This can be achieved by adjusting the wheel head vertically,
and thus, setting the wheel head at the position where the
top face of the center gauge, mounted on the head, touches
the tooth rest.
The clearance angle can be set and ground by means of either
of the above two methods.
In case of grinding cutters with the periphery of a flat wheel,
the land surface is concaved in accordance with the wheel
diameter, as shown in fig. 40.
The smaller the diameter of the wheel, and the larger the
land, the less the value of the effective clearance angle
against the prescribed one becomes. In general case, however,
the land is from 0.8 mm to 1.5 mm, (1/32" to 1/16") and there
is no problem.
Care should be taken when grinding the clearance angle of the

cutter, with a large land on it, and with a wheel of small dia¬
meter.
(2) With a flaring cup or straight cup
Fig. 42 illustrates the grinding method. For this grinding,
there are two methods. One is to grind the cutters by set¬

ting the relief angle by means of calculating the value A on

the basis of cJ* and D from the equality, A = D/2 sin , as
described in fig. 37. And the other is to grind the relief
angle by means of the relief angle adjusting dial and the
relief angle adjusting dog. (Refer to figs. 38 and 39.)

The points which differ from the grinding work with the
straight wheel are that there is no relation between the
relief angle and the wheel center and the cutter center as
well, (There is no need to set the wheel center to coincide
with the cutter center.) and also the land surface is ground
straight . As shown in the figure, the grinding spindle shall
be set at the right angle against the cutter axis. However ,
in the course of an actual grinding, the grinding spindle
must be swivelled horizontally bv a very small angle. (about
1°). This prevents the cutter from touching both margins of
the flaring cup wheel, in case the diameter of the cutter
is bigger than that of the wheel. The other method of grind¬
ing with the flaring cup wheel is to grind the relief angle
by means of utilizing the vertical tilt of the grinding
spindle, one of the features of this machine. In this case,
the relief angle can be obtained by swivelling the grinding
spindle vertically by the required relief angle, after set¬
ting the tooth edge of a cutter to be ground at the same
center height, as shown in fig. 42. This way of swivelling
the grinding spindle is useful not only for setting the
clearance angle of the cutters, but also for easening various
change-over works. The tooth rest shall be mounted on the
table side, when grinding the straight teeth of cutters, and
when helical teeth, on the grinding head or on the bridge.
The setting of the relief angle, by either method, shall be
performed by, first, setting the height of the tooth rest,
the height of the tooth edge, at the height of the cutter
center, with the center gauge, and then, moving the grind¬
ing head vertically, or tilting it vertically on the basis of
the coincident position. In this case, a care should be taken
so that the tooth rest face, inclined in accordance with the

52
helical angle, as shown in fig. 43, and the point on the
wheel, where the tooth edge touches (in the figure, it is the
margin of the taper cup wheel), as well as the center gauge,
will meet at one point.
Fig. 44 illustrates the grinding of helical teeth
After grinding one of the tooth edges, turn the cutter by
180° to grind, then, the edge on the opposite side, and to
check whether or not it is tapered. If it is tapered, eli¬
minate it by adjusting the swivelling table (1) in fig. 21.
The remaining tooth edges should be ground after this inspec¬
tion is over.

3) Grinding a end-mill and a shell-end-mill
The grinding method of end mills is basically the same as
plain mills. The point which differs from the latter is that the
end teeth (or the face teeth) and, upon necessity, the corner of
the mill, also have to be ground. The end teeth are ground after
grinding the peripheral teeth by means of the same method as the
one of grinding the plain mills. You may find it convenient to
use a tapered cup wheel (or cup wheel) for grinding the face edge
and the comers.
Fig. 45 shows the end mills, while fig. 46 illustrates the shell
end mills.
(1) Grinding end teeth
The grinding of the face edge can be carried out by swivel¬
ling the workhead body, on which is set, the cutter, vertically
and horizontally by the degree of the relief angle, after
fixing the cutter on the arbor, and inserting it into the
tapered hole of the workhead ((1) in fig. 6). In another way,
it can be ground is by horizontally swivelling the workhead
body by the degree of the relief angle, and then, tilting the
grinding spindle vertically by the same degree.
When inclining the cutter together with the workhead, install
the tooth rest in the T-slot provided on the workhead body.
This eliminates the complicated work to change the position
of the tooth rest, necessary when the relief angle is adjust¬
ed. After the tooth rest is installed, fix the work spindle
collar ((9) in fig. 20) by fastening the locking screw ((10)
in fig. 20) , so that the cutter will not be turned.
Reassembly is necessary for grinding the clearance angle of
relief.

end mills.

(2) Grinding corner
Swivel the workhead body or the grinding head horizontally
by the degree of the corner angle, while the cutter, shall
be mounted on the arbor, and inserted in the tapered hole
of the workhead. (Generally the corner angle is 45°) The
tooth edge of the cutter will be set at the height of the
cutter center by using the center gauge, and will be support¬

ed by the workhead or the tooth rest which is mounted on the


table. The workspindle ((9) in fig. 20) shall be locked by
the locking screw ((10) in fig. 20) so that the cutter will
not be turned, and the grinding spindle shall be tilted ver¬
tically by the degree of the clearance angle of the corner.
Fig. 48 illustrates chamfering of the shell end mills.
4) Grinding a face mill
The grinding of the face mills, of which diameter is less than 8
inches, can be carried out exactly in the same way as applied for
the grinding of the shell end mills as described before. Tapered
cup wheels or cup wheels are used for this kind of grinding. (As
for the usage of the wheels, refer to table 6.) Special arbor
for the face mills is available according to request. Fig. 49
shows the peripheral tooth angle of the face mills, while the face
angles are shown in fig. 50. Fig. 51 shows the corner angles.
5) Grinding a keyway or slotting cutter
As for the fundamental method of grinding, please refer to the
section for "the grinding of plain mills." The set-up for grind¬
ing the cutters of this kind is the same as the grinding of plain
mills . And, in this case, the tooth rest shall be mounted on the
table (inclusive of the workhead) , when grinding straight teeth,
and for helical teeth, on the grinding head.

6) Grinding a side milling cutter
The peripheral teeth of the side mills shall be ground in the
same manner as the plain mills, while the side teeth shall be
ground in the same manner as shell end mills.
In a light cutting operation with the side teeth of the mills,
its clearance angle B, shown in fig. 52, shall be ground to
about 1°. This is to eliminate possible chattering. Such chat-
tering can also be eliminated by furnishing the side teeth with
a relief angle, like A illustrated in the figure.

7) Grinding a staggered tooth cutter


This is a kind of the side mills, and is shown in fig. 53.
The helical teeth of plain mills are spiralled to one side only,
but the teeth of this mill are spiralled alternately.
The peripheral teeth, however, shall be ground in the same manner
as is applied for grinding the helical teeth of the plain mill.
The tooth rest as shown in fig. 54 is desirable for this kind of
grinding work.
The setting of the relief angle shall be carried out either by
means of adjusting the relief angle adjusting dog and the relief
angle adjusting dial (refer to fig. 39) , or on the basis of the
value of the relief angle obtained from the equality concerning
the relief angle and the moving distance, set in accordance with
the wheel diameter or the cutter diameter. (Refer to table 9)
One tooth of the cutter is ground on the way of a clockwise rota¬
tion of the cutter, and on the way back of the cutter, turning in
counter clockwise direction, the opposite torsion angle is ground.
When all the teeth are ground in the above manner, check the
ground teeth with a dial gauge. If they are not equally ground,
readjustment must be made, and they must be ground once more.
Fig. 55 illustrates the grinding of the staggered tooth cutters.
The side teeth on both sides of the cutter should be ground only

- 59 -
when it is necessary to reduce the width.
Primary relief angle shall be obtained by means of swivelling the
workhead or the grinding spindle. The secondary relief angle shall
also be ground in the same manner as above.

The angle(o) should be bigger by 5—8°


than the spiral angle of cutter

8) Grinding an angular cutter


The grinding method of angular cutters is very similar to shell
end mills. However, the workhead body or the grinding head must
be swivelled horizontally in accordance with the angle of the
cutter. On the other hand, the workhead body or the grinding
spindle has to be tilted vertically by the degree of the relief
angle to be ground.
The tooth rest shall be installed on the grinding head when the
cutter has helical teeth, and when it has straight teeth, the
tooth rest shall be mounted on either the table (including the
workhead) or the grinding head.
Fig. 56 illustrates the comer-grinding of the angular cutters
9) Grinding a long end mill
When grinding the end teeth of a long end mill, with a tapered
cup wheel (standard equipment) , bear in mind that a long end
mill of less than 235 mm (9-3/8") in length cannot be ground due
to the fact that the table is turned as shown in tig. 57 for the

61 -
O'-
above grinding operation, which makes the distance between the
grinding face of the tapered cup wheel and the spindle nose of
the workhead 235 mm (9-3/8") .
When the table is set at the normal position, the distance between
the tapered cup wheel and the workSpindle nose is 142 mm (5-2/3").
And when the table is turned by the angle of 180°, the distance is
225 mm (9"). The grinding manner is the same as the one adopted
for grinding the end mills.
10) Grinding a metal slitting saw
When grinding a metal slitting saw of which diameter smaller than
8 inches, insert the arbor, on which is mounted the metal slitting
saw, into the tapered hole provided on the workhead. Another way,
support the metal slitting saw by means of the arbor which shall
be supported beLween both LailsLocks. In eiLher case, Ihe griud-
ing manner is substantially the same as the one of that for slot¬
ting cutters.

11) Grinding a large metal saw
Metal saws, up to 48 inches in diameter, can be ground. For
this grinding work, however, the user must make a special stud
which will be used for supporting the metal saw. The grinding
work shall be gradually carried out by turning the metal saw with
the stud as its turning axis.
The grinding process is as follows:
First, install the tapered cup wheel on the grinding head. Then ,
draw a center line on the metal saw. Mounting the metal saw on
the centering stud, fasten it by a degree at which it can still
be turned by hand.
Then, adjust the grinding spindle to set it at the required height.
(You need not pay strict attention to the spindle center.)
When the metal saw is too big to be ground on the table set at
the normal position, you may swivel the table by a degree, where
the metal saw can now be ground, and fix the table at the position.
The clearance angle can be obtained by using an angle protractor
which is set at an angle (90° plus required clearance angle) , and
of which one side, on the center line of the metal saw, which you
drew in advance.
The tooth of the metal saw is received by the tooth rest, mounted
on the turning table. Next, swivel the grinding head horizontally
until the grinding face of the wheel is set parallel to the other
side of the angle protractor. Now, grind one tooth of the metal
saw. Then, loosen the fastening collar on the stud so that the
metal saw can be turned for the grinding of remaining teeth. In
fig. 58 is illustrated the grinding of relief angle of metal saws.
When grinding a large metal saw, it is desirable to also make a
chamfering on every other tooth, as shown in fig. 58.

&
Fig. 59

For this, a flat shaped wheel or a dish shaped wheel is used. The
grinding wheel shall be moved up enough to furnish the comer with
a required angle, which shall be ground every other tooth. The
other teeth can be ground by turning over the metal saw itself.

12) Grinding a helical tooth cutter


When grinding intensely helical teeth of a cutter, install a flat
shaped wheel on the grinding spindle, and swivel the grinding head
horizontally to obtain the prescribed relief angle. (For instance,
when grinding a relief angle to 5° on a tooth of which the spiralling
angle is 40°, as shown in table 10, swivel the grinding head hori¬
zontally by an angle of 3° 15' by means of the plate which is
furnished with graduation at an equal division. Refer to fig. 62.)
Next, insert the arbor of the cutter into the tapered hole of the
master, (a little longer than the cutter, but with the same lead
and spiralling direction) , and mount the master equipped with the
cutter between the right and left tailstocks. Then, set the arbor
at the same height with the grinding spindle center, using a center
gauge placed on the table. Install the tooth rest of fixed type
or of adjustable type on the grinding head. The wheel shall be,
then, approached toward the cutter, and the grinding shall be car¬
ried out, copying the master by means of the supporting portion
of the tooth rest, which takes the place of the touching point of
the center gauge, as shown in fig. 60. (When you become skilled
in this work, you may use the tooth rest blade in stead of using
the tooth rest supporting portion.)
The front face of the cutter can be ground in the manner as depicted
in fig. 61, with the conical portion of the wheel, and by setting

64
b
the wheel at the required angle in accordance with the spiral
angle of the cutter.

13) Grinding a tap


The grinding manner of taps furnished with straight slots is
substantially the same as the one of the tooth front of the formed
cutters. (Refer to fig. 33 and fig. 34.) The tap corner must be
set coincident with the dished grinding wheel face (51. fig. 6.)

by means of the gauge set at the wheel face as shown in fig. 35.

Next, mount the tap between the right and left tailstocks, and
support the back-end of the tap with an adjustable tooth rest (21.
fig. 21), and then, adjust the tooth rest so that the tap will
coincide with the wheel face.
A tap having a rake angle shall be mounted after setting the tap
center coincident with the wheel face by means of the gauge.

The tap, now, shall be ground, in accordance with the rake angle,
and by moving forward the wheel by the distance "A", as shown in
fig. 34.

14) Grinding a reamer


Reamers are generally classified into two groups; one is machine

reamers, such as chucking reamers, shell reamers, Jober's reamers,


morse taper reamers, adjustable reamers, etc., and the other is
hand reamers.
The reamers should be reground very carefully, as they are required
to have an extremely high accuracy, in comparison with the other

cutting tools.

67

$
(1) Grinding a straight reamer
In case of reaming with the machine reamer, the chamfering
(fig. 64) of the reamer end, and in case with the hand reamers,
cutting edge at the starting taper (fig. 65), are mostly used
respectively. And, naturally those parts become worn-out

more easily than the straight portion. For this reason, the
grinding of the cutting edge of the chamfer, as well as the
starting taper portion is only needed in most cases.
However, since the straight portion also becomes worn-out in
the course of continual reaming works, it becomes necessary
to provide the cylindrical portion with land, and to grind
the relief angle as well as the rake angle of the peripheral
teeth.

a) Grinding chamfer portion and starting taper portion
First, mount the reamer between both right and left tail-
stock centers, and swivel the table by the degree of the
chamfering angle (or the angle of the starting taper) to set
the longitudinal table travel, parallel to the chamfer (or
the starting taper) . Then, start grinding, after swivelling
the grinding spindle by the degree of the relief angle (5 10°).
In most cases, the chamfered angle is 45°, and the starting

taper angle is 1°. Fig. 66 illustrates the grinding of the


chamfer of the machine reamers.

b) Grinding straight portion


The straight portion is provided with, what is called, a
back-taper. The straight chucking reamer, shell reamer and
taper shank bridge reamer are furnished with a taper from
0.02 to 0.03 mm (0.0008" to 0.0012") in diameter, along a
length of 100 mm (4") , while the taper shank chucking reamer
is furnished with one from 0.02 to 0.3 mm (0.0008" to 0.012").
The Jober's reamer as well as the hand reamers are provided
with a taper from 0.01 to 0.015 mm (0.0004" to 0.0006"). For
the grinding of the straight portion, the taper table must

- 69

70
be turned by the degree of the taper angle, by means of a five
adjustment (refer to fig. 22) to set the longitudinal table
travel parallel to the tapered portion, and to furnish the por¬
tion with land, (differs according to the kind of reamer, and
its diameter, varying from 0 mm to 0.6 mm (0 to 0.024")).
The grinding wheel (tapered cup wheel is generally used)
shall, then, be vertically tilted by the degree of the relief
angle (5 10°), to grind the clearance angle.
Fig. 67 illustrates the grinding of relief angle of the
straight portion.

c) Grinding rake face


When grinding the rake face, it should be noted that the tooth
grooves are set at unequal distance in order to eliminate a
chattering and to obtain better chamfer, when reaming. For
this reason, the tooth rest must be supporting the back-side
of the cutting tooth to be ground, (fig. 68) Usually the rake
angle is 0° (refer to fig. 33); however, the reamer for ream¬
ing soft material is provided with a positive rake angle (fig.
34) to obtain a better finish, and the one for reaming hard

material is given a negative angle (fig. 69) to strengthen


the cutting teeth. The rake face with 0° or a positive rake
angle, can be ground in the way as described in the paragraph
1) of (1). The rake face with a negative angle can be ground
by swivelling the reamer by the degree of the rake angle, and
at the position where the grinding face of the wheel is being

set, A distance backward from the reamer center.

(2) Grinding a taper reamer
The taper reamers should be ground more carefully than the
straight reamers, as high accuracy on both taper and diameter
is required.
a) Grinding relief angle
This kind of reamer is not furnished with the land as the
straight reamer has. The grinding method of the relief
angle (5 6°) is the same as described in the previous
paragraph, (1), a); set the longitudinal table travel
parallel to the taper, by swivelling the table by the
degree of the clearance angle.
b) Grinding rake face
Mount one end of the reamer on the tailstock
center, and the other, on the center inserted into the
workhead. 'The mounted reamer shall be adjusted
so that its tooth end shall be set horizontally, by in¬

clining the workhead center by the degree of the taper


angle. The grinding method is the same as described in
the paragraph (1) , c) .
(3) Grinding a taper reamer with helical teeth
In comparison with the other reamers, the taper reamers with
helical teeth, should be ground with the best care.
Too much tightening of the center makes the reamer turn un¬

even, and also causes inequality of the cutting teeth, or


scrape on the wheel.
When grinding the reamer, the table must be swivelled by the
degree of the reamer's taper angle to set the longitudinal
table travel parallel to the taper portion.
For this grinding, a dish shaped wheel ((51) in fig. 6) shall
be used, and the grinding method as described in the paragraph
2), (1) (Ref. fig. 37) shall be adopted. (If a tapered cup

wheel is used, please refer to fig. 42.)

This grinding work, however, requires considerable skill.


Therefore, we recommend you use the helical grinding attachment,
(extra attachment) , by which a finish of high accuracy can be
obtained without much skill.
