HE successful performance of the Centerless

T Grinder depends to a certain extent upon the
observance of a number of elementary principles .
This booklet contains an explanation of these
basic principles, in addition to detailed instruc-
tions for correct lubrication and adjustments .
The more commonplace causes of defective work
and their remedies are also listed to prevent, as
much as possible, the unnecessary delays which
causes a loss in production .
At the time of writing, the booklet was com-
pletely up to date. However, due to continual
improvements in design, it is possible that
descriptions contained herein may vary slightly
from the machine delivered, to you. This merely
implies that the machine has been improved to
better fulfill your requirements .

INSTALLATION
The first point to consider when installing the Centerless Grinder is the
foundation . It must be solid, free of vibrations and fairly flat.
The machine must be accurately leveled before being put into operation .
A convenient place for locating the level when taking readings is the surface
which supports the work rest . Use the most accurate level obtainable,
preferably one having a micrometer screw adjustment. A carpenter's
level or the bulb in a machinist's combination square is not good enough .
Level both lengthwise and across the bearing pad .

,,~ STARTING THE MACHINE
STARTING A NEW MACHINE FOR THE FIRST TIME

If a red warning tag is attached to the machine, take heed to the instructions
printed thereon. "There is no oil in this machine . Do not start the machine
until all reservoirs are filled with the right amount of oil specified in the instruc-
tion book. Be sure to check all reservoirs before starting machine ."
After the machine has been properly installed, wash off the slushing oil and
dirt accumulated in transit with naphtha or a similar solvent of grease .
The machine must then be well lubricated and run for an hour or two in
order to work the lubricant into the bearings . Read the lubrication chart
carefully . Note particularly the following instructions which must be
carried out before starting the motor .
1 . Fill the oil tank in the base to the level indicated on the "bayonet" gage
(station 13, Figure 5), using the grade of oil specified in the lubrica-
tion chart. If empty, about ten gallons will be required .
2 . Fill the gear box to the top of the filler elbow (Station 16, Figure 5) .
If empty, about one gallon will be required .
3 . Fill the automatic way lubrication reservoir (Station 3, Figure 5) to the
upper peep hole, or until you can see oil in the elbow. If empty, about
2Y2 gallons will be required .
4 . Now attend to all the other reservoirs, nipples, and cups (see Lubrica-
tion Chart) .
5 . Prime the pump .
Before assembling the V-belts, rotate the motor pulley a few times by
hand to be sure it turns freely : Now momentarily start the motors and be
sure that the main drive motor rotates in the direction indicated by the
brass plate attached it. Starting requires two pushes of the starting button .
The first time it is pressed the oil pump will start functioning and when
pressed the second time the main drive motor will start if the pump has
built up sufficient pressure in the spindle bearing chamber . The time
required to build up this pressure is very short. Of course the smaller the
amount of oil present in the compartment, the longer will be the time
interval before the main drive motor responds to the starting button .
As soon as the speed box motor is started (by touching the starting button)
the oil level in the filler tube will drop . While the machine is running, add
additional oil to raise the level to the high mark indicated on the "bayonet"
gage . When the machine is again stopped, drainage from the spindle
reservoirs will raise the oil level above the high mark .

LUBRICATION
The continued accuracy and long life of the machine depend largely upon
periodic and proper lubrication . Read the lubrication chart and instruc-
tions carefully (Pages 12 and 13) . This point is very important ; use only
those grades of oil which meet the specifications . The following discussion
gives a general idea of the lubricating systems for the complete machine .
Grinding Wheel Spindle . The grinding wheel spindle of the standard

No . 2 Centerless Grinder is mounted in bearings of multiple shoe construc-
tion, steel backed and bronze lined, self adjusting for variations in load
resulting from heavy and light cuts . These shoe type bearings support the
spindle at each end, while a large diameter self-adjusting and self-aligning
bronze thrust bearing is located in the center of the spindle .
Lubrication of the grinding wheel spindle bearings is automatic and positive

with filtered oil (Figure 7) . A gear type pump mounted in the "feed box"
unit draws oil from the tank in the base and then pumps it through the oil
-'- filter to the grinding wheel head. A glass sight gage, mounted on top of the
grinding wheel head, is connected to the bearing chamber by means of a
small orifice in the cap. As the oil flows upward to the wheel head chamber
and spindle bearings, the air escapes through'this small opening. When the
lubricant in the wheel head bearing compartment reaches the proper work-
ing pressure ; it actuates a protective pressure switch in the electrical circuit,
and then the grinding wheel drive motor may be started . Conversely if
the pressure drops below the pressure switch setting, the switch automati-
cally stops the grinding wheel drive motor. This is an important feature of
the machine and insures sufficient lubrication for the spindle at all times .
When changing oil, also drain the spindle bearing compartment (see paragraph
2, top of page 56) . Some machines require as long as 20 minutes for the oil
in this compartment to drain back to the reservoir . The quickest way to
remove the oil is to pump it out with a small suction pump, with the intake
hose inserted in the filler pipe .
The sight gage on top of the wheel head is a' visible check on the presence
of oil in the spindle bearing compartment . The pressure in this compart-
ment forces a small quantity of lubricant through the orifice in the cap and
up into the sight gage, filling it slowly until the overflow pipe level is
reached . The overflow then runs by gravity to the reservoir in the base.

TANK
The sight gage reservoir therefore serves a multiple purpose :

1 . It furnishes a visible proof of oil within the spindle bearing compartment .
2. It furnishes a visible check on the condition of the lubricant .
(a) I f the oil is darker than when it was first put into the reservoir, it is
obviously dirty and the filter should be replaced and the oil changed.
(b) If appreciably lighter in color, it is probably diluted with grinding
coolant .
3 . It shows any air bubbles present in the lubricant, thereby acting as a
check for leaks in the system.
Dilution of lubricant with grinding coolant is usually the result of careless-
ness (See "Coolant in Lubricating Oil'') . The presence of a leak in the
system, as indicated by bubbles in the sight gage, should be immediately
corrected by an experienced maintenance man or by our service man.
The oil tank should be drained and the system refilled with fresh oil every
3 to 6 months . The drain plug is located directly underneath the filler pipe.

Regulating Wheel Spindle . The regulating wheel spindle is supported

by two-piece plain bronze bearings, while a self aligning anti-friction bear-
ing on the end of the spindle takes the thrust load . (See Figure 8)
A reservoir with an oil level sight is cast integral with the regulating wheel
housing, and the oil feeds to each bearing through wicks . The same kind
of oil is used in this reservoir as used for the grinding wheel spindle .

automatically pressure lubricated by means of a

Other Bearings . All other bearings, with the

exception of those in the feed box, are lubricated
through individual or centralized oil cups. The
mechanism in the speed box runs in an oil bath.
Oil Filter. The oil filter used in the hydraulic Figure 9

system is a replaceable type, Purolator L-1200, Lubricating Unit
having a self-contained filtering unit, and must be
discarded and replaced with a new one when the filtering action becomes
too slow. However, the rate of oil flow through the filter is relatively small,
and it has a long useful life (at least a year) .
[ is
LUBRICATION
10
To replace the filter, remove the oil drain plug (Figure 50, page 55) and back
off the screw exposed about 3 or 4 turns . This will allow the oil in the spindle
bearing chamber to by-pass back to the reservoir . Remove the large sheet
metal cover at the motor drive end of the machine . Remove the "near"
fitting and then proceed to unscrew filter in order to detach it from the
remaining oil line connection. Replace the new filter by reversing the
above mentioned operations . Be sure to retighten the screw behind the oil
drain plug in the spindle housing .
Coolant in Spindle Lubricating Oil . An obviously bad condition is

present when the spindle lubricating oil becomes diluted with coolant. This
condition can always be traced back to neglect . A labyrinth and slinger
design in the wheel mount keeps out the coolant and sludge very effec-
tively . However, if these slinger grooves become clogged, they lose their
effectiveness, and coolant is conducted into the bearings .
To avoid this condition ; remove the complete wheel mount as a unit (the wheel,
flange, and collet) when changing wheels. The slinger grooves in back of
the collet are then accessible, and may easily be cleaned out. Keep the
drain hole at the bottom of the grooves open.
Oil Does Not Appear in Glass Reservoir Above Grinding Wheel

;Spindle . If the grinding wheel spindle starts and runs satisfactorily, but
oil does not appear in the cylindrical glass reservoir on top of the cap above
the bearing compartment, the air bleed hole in the cap has become clogged .
This condition may be corrected in the following manner
1 . Stop the oil pump motor.

2 . Remove screw "A", cap "B", and glass e

"C" . (Figure 10) .

3 . Lift up loose plate "D" .
4. With a wire ;j"e" or less in diameter, clean

out bleed hole "E" .
5 . Replace the parts, including the gaskets

PRINCIPLES OF CENTERLESS GRINDING
The principal elements of a centerless grinding machine are the grinding

wheel, regulating wheel, and the work rest . The work rest incorporates
suitable guides for leading-the work to the wheels and receiving it therefrom,
as well as proper means for supporting the work during the grinding cut .
The above named elements may be arranged and combined in a number of
different ways, but the fundamental principle involved is the same in all
cases .
The action of the grinding wheel forces the work against the work rest due
to what is called the cutting pressure and also against the regulating wheel
by virtue of what may be called the cutting contact pressure . The pres-
sure, aided by the gravity component of the work, keeps the part being
ground in contact with the regulating wheel . This wheel, which is usually
made of material similar to that of the grinding wheel, provides a continu-
ously advancing frictional surface insuring constant and uniform rotation
of the work at the same peripheral velocity as that of the regulating wheel .
One can readily understand how work is ground round on a center type
grinder. The centers determine an axis of revolution and the rotation of
the work together with its rectilinear movement relative to the grinding
wheel face, or vice versa, cause the generation of a cylindrical surface . The
diameter of this cylinder is governed by the distance between the line of
the centers and the face of the grinding wheel.
On the centerless grinder there are *ORIK

no centers, and apparently no
method of controlling the round-
ness of the work exists. It is evident
that the ground diameter of the
part is determined by the distance
REGULAT,F
between the two active surfaces of GRINDING
the wheels but a constant diameter

does not necessarily mean a perfect
cylinder . In order to relate the
subject of controlling the round-
BLADE
ness of the work on the centerless
machine in a clear and readable Figure 11
way, the influencing factors are Flat Top Blade, with
presented as follows Work on Center
[ 20 ] -
ELE MENTARY PRINCIPLES
The simplest case is considered

WORK first. The center of the work is in
line with the centers of the grinding
and regulating wheels . (Fig. 11 .)
The flat top work supporting blade
- I\ is used. The surfaces of the wheels
GRINDING
WHEEL together with the blade form three
sides of a square .
WORK BLADE Any high spot on the periphery of

the work coming into contact with
either grinding or regulating wheel
Figure 12 will produce a diametrically oppo-
Effect of Out-of Round Work,
on Flat Top Blade and with site concave spot . (Fig. 12.) Grind-
Work on Center ing with this set-up results in work
of constant diameter but not cylin-
drica,l . An extreme case of the
shape generated by this method is
shown in Fig. 13, and is known as
the three arc triangle, having a
constant diameter but not round.
Now, if the center of the work is

elevated above the centers of the
wheels by raising the supporting
blade, a low spot coming in contact
with the regulating wheel will cause
a high spot to be generated at the
contact with the grinding wheel,
but not diametrically opposite . As
the piece being ground is rotted,
the high and low spots will not
come opposite to each other, as was
shown before, and a gradual round-
ing effect is thus obtained.
Figure 13
Exaggerated Shape Generated by
Above Set-UP
To attain maximum corrective
rounding action, use has been made
of a blade with angular top as shown in Fig. 14. This produces distinct
corrective phenomena which is diagrammatically illustrated in Fig. 15. Two
lines, A-A and B-B, are drawn tangent at the points of contact of the work

ELEMENTARY PRINCIPLES
S7C jrV
This corrective action is very complex and depends upon many involved
variables, such as the inclination of the blade top, included angle (0C)
between the two tangent lines, etc . Experience proves conclusively this
corrective action-if a light cut is taken on a part very much out of round,
for example .010" or .012", only the high spots will be ground, and from
the very first spark the machine starts to generate the largest true
cylinder which is possible to form out of the irregular outline of the rough
part. The higher above center the work is placed, the quicker the round-
ing action, the limit being' when the work is periodically lifted from the
blade due to the greatly increased vertical components of the involved farces.
This fact is proven every day as the customary remedy of out-of-roundness
is higher placement of work, all of which agrees with the theory of corrective
action. It is possible to go higher with soft wheels than it is with hard ones.
This fact is explained by the decreased contact pressures which in turn
reduce the tendency to lift the work from the blade . Naturally, when
grinding a part which is particularly hard to round up, work can be placed
extra high by using an extra soft wheel.
Contrary to the usual practice on centerless grinding machines, when grind-

ing long work, such as steel bars, the center line of the work is sometimes
placed below the center line of the wheels. By grinding in this position,
the whipping or chattering which might result from slight kinks or bends of
the bar is eliminated, and the work is held firmly down on the blade, due
to the action of the wheels.
All centerless machines employ so-called negative work speed, or in other

words, the angular rotation of the work and that of the grinding wheel are
in different directions. The grinding wheel revolves at standard grinding
speeds approximating 6,000 feet per minute . The operating speeds of the
regulating wheel may be varied at will, and range from 38 to 940 feet per
minute peripheral speed for a new wheel.
Summary : The preceding discussion can be summarized in the following

general rules
For quick rounding action, the work center should be placed as high as
possible, the angular velocity of the work should be high, and the rate of
traverse (if thru-feed) across the grinding wheel face should be small .
For best straightening out effect of long single diameter work, the center of
the piece should be placed below the center line of the wheels and the rate
of traverse should be high. Grinding in this position is primarily for
straightening the work. Subsequent passes can be made with normal
set-up for corrective rounding action .

METHODS AND ADVANTAGES

OF CENTERLESS GRINDING
There are three main classes of centerless grinding, namely
a-Thru-feed
b-In-feed, and
c-End-feed .
a-Thru-Feed . Thru-feed grinding is accomplished, as the name implies,

by passing the work through or between the grinding and regulating wheels .
Grinding takes place as the work passes from one side of the wheels to the
other . Obviously, since all points on the work pass all contact points
between the wheels, only straight cylindrical surfaces without interfering
shoulders can be ground by this method . (See Figure 17 .)
The axial movement of the work past the grinding wheel is imparted by
the regulating wheel . This wheel c.an be swiveled about a horizontal axis
from zero to 8 degrees relative to the axis of the grinding wheel spindle .
Moreover, the speed and diameter of the regulating wheel also influence
the feeding rate of the work, closely approximated by the following formula
F = 7r d N Sin a.
Where F = feed of the work, in inches GRIN[
per minute WHI
d = diameter of the regulating 471NG
---- wheel, in inches IEEL
N = speed of the regulating
wheel, in revolutions
per minute
« = angle of the inclination of
the regulating wheel.
(See pages 104 and 105 for tables .)
Figure 16 shows diagrammatically

these conditions when viewing the
arrangement at a right angle to the
axis of the grinding wheel spindle . The Figure 16
24
at ge)
theoretical feed is based on the assumption that

there is no slippage of the work whatsoever in GRINDING
its contact with the regulating wheel . In actual ~` _WHEEL
practice the error in this connection rarely
exceeds two per cent. It is often necessary to WORK
pass work between the wheels more than once . cuioES
The number of passes is determined by the
amount of stock to be removed, the condition °°
of the work as to roundness and straightness, WORK J
the quality of the material, and the limits of
accuracy required .
11'v f ~ REGULATING
With this method there is a fixed relation `WHEEL
between the grinding wheel, regulating wheel, PC" 1201'A
and the work supporting blade . The wheels

Figure 17
are adjusted so that the distance between their
Thru-Feed Centerless
active surfaces, together with the height of the Grinding (Top View)
work blade, determines the diameter of the
ground piece. The centers of the wheels are
stationary during grinding operations and the regulating wheel requires
slight readjustment from time to time to compensate for the wear of the
grinding wheel .

which has a shoulder, head, or some portion larger than the ground diameter.
The same method is used for the simultaneous grinding of several diameters
of the work as well as for finishing pieces with taper, spherical, or any other
irregular profile .
In general, this method corresponds to the

Figure 20 ing wheel. This movement is performed by
Infeed Centerless turning the in-feed lever 90 degrees. As the
Grinding (Top View) .
lever is brought down, the work with the
regulating wheel is advanced to the grinding wheel, the desired size being
secured when the lever has made its full swing. Upon reversing the move-
ment of this lever, the gap between the wheels is increased, and either a
manually or automatically operated ejector kicks the work out from between
the wheels, and another piece is placed in position by the operator .
If the part to be ground is longer than the width of the wheels and must
be ground on one or both ends, a variation of in-feed grinding is used, which
is called the outboard roller support method . One end of the work is sup-
f 26 l

ported by the blade between the wheels and the other end rests on rollers
which are usually outside of the machine, but form part of the fixture which
is called the roller in-feed work rest.
The same cycle of operations as described for in-feed grinding is used, the
only exception being that it is not always possible to use the ejector, because
of the size of work, which is usually larger than that of the standard in-feed
class .
There are many other variations of the in-feed method, but they need not
be discussed here.

Advantages . In general all Centerless ma- PC-1Z01-e

chines offer the following principal advantages Figure 21
1 . The work is rigidly supported directly under End-Feed Centerless
the grinding cut as well as the full length of Grinding (Top View)
the cut . No deflection takes place during the grinding operation, thus
allowing, if necessary, a heavier cut to be taken.
2 . No axial thrust is imposed on the work while grinding. This absence of
end pressure mikes possible grinding of long brittle pieces and easily
distorted parts .
3 . As a true floating condition exists during the grinding process and the
error of centering is eliminated, less grinding stock is required, with
correspondingly increased wheel life .
4'. The possibility of error in setting up the job and in readjusting to com-
pensate for wheel wear is reduced by half, because stock removal is
measured on the diameter and not on the radius .
5. Error due to wheel wear is likewise reduced.
6. There are but few wearing sufaces, and the lubrication of the spindles
and infeed slides is automatic ; therefore, the machine requires only
slight attention and the upkeep item is very low.
7. Regardless of the employed method, the grinding of the smaller size work
can be assisted by use of a magazine, gravity chute, or hopper feeds,
provided the shape of the piece will permit the use of such devices.

SELECTION AND SETTING OF WORK BLADE

See pages 96 to 103 for List of Blades
Blade Material . Blade material is an important consideration in obtaining

a good finish on the work and the greatest number of pieces for each grind-
ing of the blade . The material is usually cast iron or very hard alloys
such as high speed steel, Stellite, sintered carbide, etc .
Stellite, sintered carbide, and blades of similar materials have good wear-
ing qualities and should be used for .case hardened and oil hardened steels,
and for non-metallic materials. Sintered carbide blades will give good
results when grinding stainless steel.
High-speed steel blades are well adapted for non-ferrous metals ; for ,parts
which vary in hardness from one end to the other, such as twist drills ; and
for very small diameters .
Meehanite and ordinary cast iron blades are used for soft steel work to
eliminate the scoring or "picking up" action between the blade and the
work.
In general, it is always advisable to start with a hard material, and if the
tendency to "pick-up" prevails, to gradually compromise on the hardness
by using a different material .
Blade Angle . Having selected the material, the blade angle is chosen next
For the majority of centerless grinding operations the angular toy work
support blade is used.
When using wide wheels, say 6" or 8" face, and a long blade with too great
an angle, chatter is apt to occur. The horizontal component of the work
pressure which the blade must resist increases as the blade angle increases .
Since a long narrow blade offers only a small lateral resistance, periodic
deflections, commonly known as chatter, take place . The usual solution
is to reduce the top angle .
For example, work of a given diameter may be ground with 4" wide wheels
on a 30° angle blade with no difficulty, but, if the width of the wheels
and length of the blade is increased to 8', the angle is usually reduced to
20' or 25' in order to decrease the side pressure on the blade .
For the same reasons, when grinding large diameter work the angle of the
blade should be less than when using the same length blade for grinding
smaller diameter work. In other words, the larger the diameter of the piece
to be ground, the smaller should be the angle of the blade.
1 28 1
WORK BLADE
a
Blade Thickness and Size. Obviously, the length of the blade is deter-
mined by the width of the wheels . The thickness of the blade should be
slightly less than the diameter of the work, the maximum thickness of the
standard blade being Y2"
Setting the Blade . Assuming that the work rest has been bolted in posi-
tion on the slide, the blade is adjusted in the cradle to the proper height by
means of shims.
Generally speaking, work is ground with its center above the center line
of the wheels . The type of grinding wheel, work diameter, diameter of
wheels, and physical characteristics of the work before grinding all influence
this setting. For small work up to about Y4" diameter, a good rule is
to adjust the blade vertically until the center of the work is above the
wheel centers by a distance equal to about V2 the work diameter. For
larger work the proportion is less, the' above-center adjustment rarely
exceeding Y2".
The height of work center relative to the center line of the wheels may be
obtained by subtracting 8r'fs " from the distance between the center of the
work and the finished surface of the lower slide, as shown in Figure 22.
Grinding too high above the center line of the wheels may produce chatter
marks on the work. This undesirable effect is caused by the tendency of
the wheels to squeeze the work upward and out of contact with the blade.
Technically speaking, the resulting vertical component of the pressure
created by the grinding action is increased in proportion to the increase in
height above centers . Because of this condition, the work for a moment
loses its contact with the wheels and the blade, and is thrown up in the air.
It falls back into the grinding position and the process is again repeated .
This action is very rapid and continuous, causing chatter marks on the work .
The remedy is to decrease the work height above the center line of the
wheels, thereby decreasing the vertical components of the forces and. per-
mitting the work to maintain
a firm contact with the wheels ~- GRINDING WHEEL

. .
However, if the height above

center is decreased too much,
the work will be out-of-round,
with three high spots . Another
remedy is to use a softer grade

C I NC I NNATI No. 2 CENTERLESS GRINDING MACHINE
The higher above the center line of the wheels the work is placed, the faster
is the rounding action. Long work with slight bends or kinks, such as
steel bars, is ground below the center line of the wheels . This position of
the work is contrary to the usual practice on Centerless grinding machines,
but is necessary in order to eliminate the whipping or chattering which
might result when the kinks or bends have not been entirely removed in
the straightening operation . By grinding in this position, the wheels hold
the bar firmly down on the blade .
Clamping the Blade. After having determined the proper height, the
work support blade is clamped firmly in position . The cradle of the work
rest must be perfectly clean, so that the blade will not be distorted or warped
under the pressure of the clamping screws. Likewise, the screws located
inside the work rest should always be set first to avoid springing the blade.

E. JC"
MOUNTING AND BALANCING THE WHEELS

General . Too much importance can not be attached to this subject,
because the proper mounting, balancing, and truing of the wheels have a
direct relation to the productive capacity of grinding machines. Delays in
production, inferior or spoiled work, and reduced wheel life are sure to follow
undue neglect of the wheels
One of the most prolific sources of difficulty in a precision grinding machine

is vibration . Fluctuation in sDeed of moving parts, changes in torque,
periodic deflections due to uneven distribution of rotating weights, and
intermittent power input or output of the machine are the principal causes
of vibrations . However, one should always bear in mind that two machines,
free of vibrations when running separately, may develop vibrations when
running simultaneously . In the same fashion, the foundation may be
transmitting vibrations to a certain machine without affecting anther
adjacent machine . Therefore, the first step, before any attempt is made to
mount the grinding wheel on the spindle nose, is to make sure that the
foundation is free of vibrations originating in nearby machines of any kind .

~rhe next step is to -determine with a speed indicator that the spindle is
running at the correct speed, which is 1,200 r . p. m. for a 20" wheel. Failure
to maintain this speed under any working conditions, causes the wheel
surface to break down rapidly . Wheel truing operations then become
more frequent than under normal conditions, with a corresponding loss of
time and production .
A perfect fit of the collet on the spindle nose is essential . The spindle nose
and the bore in the collet must be clean and free of scratches, burrs, nicks,
etc . ; and the key must fit the collet without interference .
Before stopping your machine at the end of the day, turn off the grinding
coolant and allow the wheel to run for a few minutes to throw off all the
coolant . This simple precaution will prevent the wheel from becoming
water-logged on one side, and consequently out of balance, before the
machine is started the next day.
Assembling the Grinding Wheel Mount. The unit, consisting of the

collet, wheel, flange, screws, pin, key and washers, referred to in this book
as the wheel mount, is easier to assemble if the collet is placed on a bench.
The parts are assembled on the collet as shown in Figure 25 .
When mounting a new wheel, do not force it on the collet because of the
danger of starting a crack in the wheel . The wheel should fit the collet
with a clearance not exceeding .005" on the diameter.
WHEEL COLLET BALANCING WEIGHT
Figure 25
Section Through Wheel Mount
[ 32]
WHEELS
Compressible washers or blotting paper washers should always be placed

between the sides of the wheel and the collet and flange in order to evenly
distribute the clamping pressure . Very satisfactory results can be obtained
with safety type washers, which consist of a very thin sheet metal base
covered with rubber . To further even distribution of clamping pressure,
when inserting the collet screws, lightly tighten them prior to applying a
consistent locking action around the periphery of the collet.
It is advisable when changing wheels, especially when thin wheels are used,
to check the screws and make sure they do not extend into the slinger
groove on the inside of the collet.
We strongly-'recommend the use of a separate wheel mount for each wheel

regularly used . Such practice saves time required for balancing and truing
and prolongs the life of the wheel .
IMPORTANT : The wheel mount should be removed from the spindle at

least once every month to clean the grit out of the slinger grooves in the
back of the collet. This permits free drainage of any coolant which might
get between the wheel collet and retainer . I f this is neglected, coolant and
grit may enter the oils seals and eventually damage the spindle bearings .
Balancing the Grinding Wheel . Wheel balance is one of the fundamental

requirements that must be observed in order to meet present day require-
ments for fine finishes and close tolerances and to realize normal wear of
the wheel, diamond and spindle bearings . The advantages of proper wheel
grading, well conditioned equipment and skillful operation are lost while
there exists an out-of-balance condition of the wheel.
Most new wheels are inspected for balance by the manufacturer, but the
design of the wheel mount, which must necessarily allow a slight clearance
between the wheel and collet, makes rebalancing essential . The procedure
for balancing either a new wheel or one that has been removed from
the collet is essentially the same, the various steps recommended being out-
lined on pages 34 and 35 .
at ju
1 . Assemble the grinding wheel mount as

described on pages 32 and 33 .
2 . Place the wheel mount on the spindle

nose and roughly true the periphery of
the wheel . Allow the wheel to run for
several minutes with the coolant turned
off before starting the balancing opera-
tion. I f this precaution is not observed,
retained water in the wheel will indicate
a false heavy side.
3 . Remove the entire wheel mount from the

=
Figure 26 spindle and insert the balancing arbor
Wheel Balancing Stand into the wheel mount . Now place the
entire unit on the balancing stand, being sure that the stand is reason-
ably level (Figure 26) .
4 . Remove the four sliding balancing weights from the flange and allow the
wheel to turn until it has come to rest with the heavy side down. Mark
this heavy point with a chalk mark and also mark a horizontal line
through the wheel axis.
5 . Place the four balancing weights in the groove in the flange, spiced at
approximately 90 degrees intervals . The addition of the weights in these
positions should not alter the position of the heavy side .

TRUING THE WHEELS

Because of its versatility, a great variety of different forms can be ground
on the Centerless Grinder. In order to generate the required profile in the
wheels, a number of truing attachments are available . The following
instructions explain the use of the standard grinding and regulating wheel
truing fixtures . The operation of all other truing attachments is funda-
mentally the same .
Grinding Wheel Truing Equipment . The standard grinding wheel

truing device, shown in Figure 31, is very similar to the profiling attachment,
shown in Figures 30 and 32, except that no provision is made to move the
diamond away from or towards the wheel while it is moving across the face
of the wheel . The following explanation, which refers in particular to the
profiling attachment, also applies to the standard truing device, with the
exception of the references to "C", "H", "J", and "K" .
Diamond "A", from one to two carats in size, is mounted in a 7/s" diameter
nib . The nib is clamped in diamond holder "B", which is adjusted within
sleeve "F" by means of micrometer dial "G" . Sleeve "F" is carried in
housing "E", and clamped in position by means of two screws "D'" . These
screws are loosened only to reset the sleeve . Screw "K" clamps housing
"E" in its dovetail ways, and must be loosened for profile truing. As the
diamond moves across the face of the wheel, cam follower "H" rides on cam
"J", moving the upper part of the assembly and the diamond in the same
path as outlined on the cam. The follower is held tightly against the cam
by means of a spring in housing "E" . For straight cylindrical truing the
attachment may be set to zero, and either a straight-edge cam may be used,
or the cam may be removed and housing "E" clamped in position by means
of screw "K" .
If conditions are such that it is necessary to true the wheel in a slightly

conical shape the attachment may be swiveled to the desired angle (shown
by scale "L") by loosening screws "N" and turning adjusting screws "M" .
A maximum of six degrees swivel adjustment, may be obtained .
Booster lever "C" is for manually helping follower "H" over the
rises in cam "J" when they are so steep that the follower has
a tendency to jam against the cam. Clamp "O" may be set at any position
on the dovetail of the swivel to limit the length of travel of the diamond
across the face of the wheel .

A brief description of the regulating wheel
truing attachment, Figure 33, will give you a
better understanding of the correct method
of truing. The diamond, from one to two
carats in size, is mounted in a 16" diameter
nib 1 " long. This nib is fastened in the
diamond holder, which is secured to an ad-
justable sleeve by means of screw "A" . The TRUNNION -
sleeve, which can be moved vertically through
its housing, is clamped in position by means
of screw "B" . The dial provides accurate ad-
justment of the diamond towards the wheel.

by turning the graduated dial is Y2", each

The standard regulating truing wheel attachment is hand operated.

The truing tool and associated parts are moved across the face of the
wheel by rotating the handwheel, which is keyed to an 18 pitch screw.
This fine pitch tends to minimize the irregularities arising from hand
operation, and also prevents traversing the diamond at an excessive rate.
The small diameter screw and its radially floating nut maintain accuracy
under all conditions .
Generally speaking, the function of the standard regulating wheel truing
device is to make the diamond follow the same line of contact with the
wheel as that followed by the work . In other words, the regulating wheel
must be trued so that the work, while passing between the wheels, makes
contact with the entire width of the wheel face. To obtain this condition,
three factors must be taken into consideration .

1 . Angle of inclination of the regulating wheel .

2 . Angle to which the truing slide is swiveled .
3 . Location of the center of the work with respect to the center of the
wheels.
The first factor is fixed by the nature of the work, as explained under
"Thru-Feed Grinding" .
The second factor is fixed by the first ; that is, the truing fixture must be
rotated about its centering trunion an angle equal to the angle of inclina-
tion of the regulating wheel spindle . For example, suppose that the rear
end of the spindle is depressed 5 ° below the horizontal . Then the truing
fixture must be swiveled 5 ° in a clockwise direction (considering the plan
view Figure 33) .
The third factor is fixed by the diameter of the work. Suppose that the
correct line of contact between the work and the wheel is Y4" above the
center of the wheels . Then the diamond holder must be moved approximately
Y4" in the direction indicated by the arrow. (To the right when viewed from
the wheel end of the spindle) . Conversely, if the center-line of the work is
below the center of the wheels, the =-- `
diamond must be moved to the
left by the same amount.

General Instructions for Truing. When a diamond or metallic rotary
dresser is used, the grinding wheel should be trued with an ample supply of
coolant over the tool . A special hood can be obtained for directing the sup-
ply of coolant directly to the diamond itself. The use of this hood will
materially increase the life of the diamond, especially when truing hard
wheels. Frequent inspection of the diamond is recommended. Remember
that it is more economical to reset a worn diamond than to continue to
use it, because of the possibility of damaging it beyond further use.
When truing with an abrasive rotary tool, coolant should not be used,
because of the tendency of the abrasive to load . However, after each truing
operation the grinding wheel should be thoroughly washed with coolant
before starting to grind again .
At no time should a cut of more than .001 " be taken across the face of the
wheel .
All No. 2 Centerless Grinders are provided with the indicator attach-
ment, supplied without the indicator (Figure 32) . The cut and try method
of truing the grinding wheel is eliminated, as the proper position of the
swiveling plate for a slight taper or straight face of the wheel can be obtained
by adjusting the two screws on the sides of the truing fixture in accordance
with the readings of the indicator dial .
This indicator attachment also facilitates the accurate return of the swivel-
ing plate to its initial position, providing, of course, that the setting of the
indicator and its support remain unchanged for the duration of the job.
Correction for Irregular Movement of Hydraulic Truing Attach-

ment. If the truing slide does not move smoothly over its bearing surface,
the following corrections will eliminate the fault.
l . Be sure that all threaded connections are tight ; otherwise air may be
drawn into the hydraulic system .
2 . Examine the slides for gummy deposits of oil and dirt . Clean and oil
the bearing surfaces thoroughly .
3 . Adjust the gib properly, as explained on page 52 .
4. If the truing slide still moves intermittently, air is trapped in the cylin-
der. Run the slide the full length of its travel two or three times to
expel the air .
If you give the truing attachment the ordinary care outlined in the first
three paragraphs above, it will operate smoothly.

SETTING UP THE MACHINE FOR THRU-FEED GRINDING

General instructions pertaining to different subjects, such as selection and
setting of work support blade, truing and mounting of grinding wheels, etc.,
are given elsewhere . Therefore, throughout the following pages it will be
assumed that no further references or explanations are necessary .
The sequence of setting up a thru-feed job is as follows :
1. Select the blade of proper material, thickness, and top angle .
2. Clamp the work rest to the lower slide.
There are three standard thru-feed work rests, designed to accommodate

wheels up to 4", 6", and S" wide. With the proper set of blades and guides,
(pages 96 to 105) work ranging up to 3Y2" in diameter can be ground on
the standard thru-feed work rest .
3. Set and clamp the work support blade

and guides. Be sure that the guides are
assembled to the work rest fingers as illus-
trated in Figure 37, that is, the screw heads
grip the long bevel.
4. Mount the wheels on their respective

spindles. For general thru-feed work a 4"
wide grinding wheel is satisfactory. However,
where the duty of the machine is heavy, such
as in the case of bar grinding, or where
extreme accuracy is required, as, for example,
when grinding piston pins, the 6" wide wheel
is used .
5. Set the regulating wheel to the proper

angle. To do this, loosen clamping bolt "C"
and nut "A" on top near the graduated scale
(Figure 39) . On the rear side, the regulating
wheel housing is provided with a screw "B"
by means of which fine angular adjustments Figure 37
Guide and Finger
can be made. Any angular setting from 0 to Assembly
8 degrees can be secured .
For general work, a 3-degree angle is suitable to start with. Increasing the
angle increases the traverse rate of the work through the machine, and con-
versely decreases the time the work is actually in contact with the grinding
[43]
wheel. For the best straightening out effect of work which comes to the
machine warped from hardening, a high traverse rate should be used which
is obtained by inclining the regulating wheel to 5 or 6 degrees .
6 . True both the grinding and regulating wheels .
7. Select the proper regulating wheel speed . Twelve regulating wheel

speeds ranging from 12 to 300 r . p. m. are available by changing the lever
positions on the gear box . A high regulating wheel speed should be used
when grinding work which comes to the machine relatively straight, but
considerable out of round. Obviously, the higher the speed of the regulat-
ing wheel, the greater the traverse rate of the work. In other words, when
maintaining the same thru-feed rate, any increase in the speed of the regu-
lating wheel would require corresponding decrease in the angular setting.
The average starting speed of the regulating wheel is from 22 to 39 r. p. m.
8. Set the regulating wheel to the work support blade. This is

accomplished by locking the lower slide and adjusting the upper slide in
and out by the handwheel at the rear . The points of contact of the work
with the grinding wheel and the blade should be as close together as possi-
ble, allowing a minimum clearance between the grinding wheel face and the
side of the blade when the work reaches its finished size.
After completing the set-up, the top slide is clamped to the lower slide.
The lower slide is then unlocked so as to permit the movements of both
slides as a unit to compensate for the wear of the grinding wheel.
9 . Adjust the guides on the regulating wheel side. For rough grind-
ing operations, on the average run of work, the bearing surface of front
guide FR should be set behind the face of the regulating wheel (Figure 38)
by an amount equal to one-half the amount of stock to be removed during
that pass through the grinder, while rear guide RR should be set flush
with the regulating wheel . When grinding discs, bearing races, and other
thin work, the face of the grinding wheel on the entering side should be
trued back about one-half the stock allowance to a taper having a length
of about Y4" to Y2" . For finish grinding operations, removing only .0002"
or .0003", both guides should be set so as to allow work to slide through
freely without striking the edge of the wheel or the guide. These two guide
adjustments can readily be made with the aid of standard feelers and an align-
ment bar which has been given a thin coat of red lead or "prussian blue."
10. Adjust the guides on the grinding wheel side. Work does
not bear upon these guides, and therefore, from ~4" to 2u clearance is

CINCINNAT I No . 2 CENTERLESS GRINDING MACHINE
SETTING UP THE MACHINE FOR IN-FEED GRINDING
The sequence of set-up for this method of centerless grinding is as follows :

1 . Select the blade of proper material, thickness, top angle, and
shape. (See pages 96 to 103 for list of blades.)
2. Clamp the work rest to the lower slide. There are three standard
in-feed work rests, designed to accommodate wheels up to 4', 6', and 8'
wide . Automatic ejectors, if size of the work permits, should be used
for ejection of the work from the blade upon completion of the grinding
operation .
3 . Set and clamp the work support blade.
4. Mount the wheels on their respective spindles . Make sure the
wheels of recommended widths with correct spacing are used.
5. Set the end stop in position. Use the automatic ejector whenever
possible, as such practice will save extra movements on the part of the
operator and materially increase the production .
The diameter or thickness of the ejector rod should be as large as possible

when grinding smaller size work.
6 . Set the regulating wheel to the proper angle. Loosen clamping
bolt "C" and nut "A" on top near the graduated plate (Figure 39) . On the
rear side, the regulating wheel housing is provided with screw "B" by
means of which fine angular adjustments can be made. For general in-feed
work a half-degree angle is satisfactory. The object of maintaining this
slight angle is to keep the work tight against the end stop .
7. True both the grinding and regulating wheels .
8. Select the proper regulating wheel speed. Twelve regulating wheel
speeds ranging from 12 to 300 r. p . m. are available by changing the lever
positions on the gear box. Selection of speed of the wheel is governed by
the diameter, material and nature of the work . The average speed of the
regulating wheel to start with is from 22 to 39 r. p. m .
9. Set the regulating wheel to the work support blade. This is
accomplished by locking the lower slide and adjusting the upper slide in or
out by the handwheel at the end . The points of contact of the work with
the grinding wheel and the blade should be as close together as possible,
allowing a minimum clearance between the grinding wheel face and the side
of the blade when the work reaches its finished size .
After completing the set-up, the top slide is clamped to the lower slide. The
lower slide is then unlocked in order to permit the two slides to move as
a unit.

SETTING UP THE MACHINE

10. Start the machine . Place the guards in position and advance both
slides with the work in place towards the grinding wheel until slight spark-
ing takes place. Then note the graduations on the infeed micrometer dial,
and with the in-feed lever down move the regulating wheel toward the
grinding wheel to give the proper size desired . Check the first few pieces
for size, finish, etc.
The adjustment for size is performed in the following manner :

The in-feed screw is clamped by lever "E", Figure 39 tight enough to
prevent it from turning with the nut of the in-feed lever, but sufficiently
loose to be turned by tapping handwheel "F" .
All that is necessary to compensate for wear of the wheel is to advance
both slides by giving the handwheel a tap, turning it the required amount
as shown by its graduations . The remainder of the adjusting mechanism
remains unaffected .
In-feed lever "D", when rotated through 90 degrees, moves the slides
approximately .032" . A coarse threaded in-feed screw or special cam
arrangement is used when greater openings are required .
Care must be exercised to pull the in-feed lever down to its limit stop, and
to see that the in-feed lever is up before placing work between the «"lzeels.
The majority of in-feed work is ground by taking two cuts-roughing and
finishing. Usually from .001" to .002" stock above the high limit is allowed
for finishing .
ADJUSTMENTS FOR IN-FEED WORK
1. Principal causes of chatter marks on the work are

Grinding too high above center line of the wheels .
Too hard or too fine a grinding wheel .
Too steep an angle on work support blade .
Too thin a work support blade .
Play anywhere in set-up due to loosely clamped members .
Grinding wheel mount fits loosely on the spindle .
Vibrations either transmitted to the machine or caused by defective
drive .
Improper contact of work on support blade and regulating wheel .
Grinding wheel out of balance .
Grinding or regulating wheel spindles improperly adjusted (other causes
more likely) .
Too heavy stock removal .
Blade not properly clamped .
Publication No . G-43R-8
CINCINNAT I No. 2 CENTERLESS GR INDING MACHINE
2. Scored work is caused by minute grinding chips becoming fused under

pressure to the work support blade. To remedy this condition, try a dif-
ferent blade material or increase the lubricating properties (concentration)
of the coolant . (see "blade material", page 28) .
3 . In setting the end stop and ejector (Figure 20), be sure the point of
contact is in the center of rotation of the work or slightly off center towards
the regulating wheel . If the shape of the work prevents such setting, the
end stop should bear against shoulder of work next to regulating wheel.
4. Work is not ground straight. In the case of in-feed grinding, the
main consideration is to keep the faces of the wheels straight and exactly
the same distance apart throughout their width .
It is understood that the distance between the wheels is based upon a given
height above their centerline . The greater the height above the centerline,
the greater is the distance between the effective surfaces of the wheels .
Therefore, if the work is ground in an inclined position because of a bent,
warped, or improperly located blade, the work will be tapered (Figure 43) .
Before taking corrective action, the setting of the work between the blade
and regulating wheel should be checked . If the blade is straight, and not
inclined at an angle with the wheel spindles, but the work is being ground
with a taper, then a corrective adjustment should be made. There are
three ways to do this

,,[ SETTING UP THE MACHINE
a . The simp lest procedure is to swivel the slides to compensate for the
taper : Screws for this adjustment are located in the lower slide, right-
hand end, front and rear (see Figure 39) . Before making this adjust-
ment, loosen the nut beneath projection on bed at right-hand end.
This nut is on a clamping stud for the swivel plate.
b. The grinding wheel can be retrued. If the front end of the work (Figure
44) is larger than the rear end, the left-hand screw of the truing attach-
ment ("M"-Figure 30), should be turned in the clockwise direction and
the right-hand screw should be turned the same amount in the opposite
direction to swivel the attachment . Reverse this procedure if the rear
end of the work is larger than the front end . Obviously, the clamping
nuts should be loosened first .
For machines equipped with wheels greater than 4" in width, the indi-
cator attachment (page 38) should be used . The dial gives a direct
reading, and aids in estimating the amount the truing attachment must
be swiveled .

c. Any taper up to .0005" can be corrected by changing the inclination of

the regulating wheel in the following manner : If the front end of the
work is larger, slightly increase the angle by turning the elevating screw
approximately half of a turn, and vice versa, if the rear end of the work
is larger . Of course, this adjustment is on the assumption that the work
is above center .
5. Work is not ground round. The remedy for out-of-round work, as
previously mentioned, is the higher placement of work center relative to
the center line of the wheels. Also, in order to avoid the development of
vertical chatter, a softer grade wheel should be used .
6 . Difficult to size the work. When exact size cannot be reproduced
continuously, the infeed mechanism may have become worn, developing
end-play in the nut. This condition may be corrected by making the
adjustment outlined under "Adjusting the Infeed Nut" page 61 .
7. Flat Spots on Work . This condition will be observed only when
grinding heavy work ; usually with light stock removal . Insufficient driving
power between the work and regulating wheel allows the work to stop
rotating before it has "sparked out", resulting in a narrow flat. The remedy
is to equip the work rest with a pressure roller against the work, and to
feed to stop position by using the upper slide.

Grinding Wheel Spindle Bearings . Probably the best advice we could

give you under the above heading is, "Do not adjust the spindle bear-

the machine is given ordinary care, no readjustment should be necessary .
Similar bearings in other Cincinnati Grinding Machines have run several
years without ever requiring service .

A poor finish may be the result of any one of a number of causes (see page
49) but rarely, if ever, is it the result of the spindle being out of adjustment.
Do not reset the spindle bearings until all the other factors which might
contribute to a poor work finish have been very carefully checked . If
conditions indicate that the bearings should be adjusted, proceed in the
following manner :
1 . Run the machine until the bearings are warm, and continue to run
while adjustment is being made. Two or three hours running time is
necessary to warm the spindle up to the required temperature.
2 . Relieve the tension of the V-belts. See "Adjusting for Stretch and
Slip of V-belts .") This step is advisable because tight belts may pull
the spindle out of alignment with its bearings .

If the grinding wheel spindle drive motor cannot be started after the lubri-
cant has reached the indicated working pressure, it is evident that (a) the
filter should be replaced (see page 19) or (b) the pressure switch is no
longer "tripping in" at the proper pressure . This switch has been correctly
adjusted at the factory and then sealed to prevent tampering with the
adjustment . If it fails to function, it should be returned to the factory
for replacement . It is located under the large-sheet metal cover at the main
drive motor end of the bed, Figure 53 .

Section Through Upper Slide Showing Infeed Adjustment
Adjusting the Infeed Nut. Difficulty in sizing infeed work may be

caused by wear in the thrust bearings, resulting in end-play of the infeed
nut. Adjustment can be made in the following manner :
1, Remove cover "A" from the rear of the upper slide. (Figure 57) .
2 . Move the infeed lever until set-screw "B" is visible. To bring the set-
screw into view, it may be necessary to loosen the locking screws through
the hub of the infeed lever and rotate it Y4 to V2 turn on the infeed nut.
3 . Loosen set-screw "B", insert a small steel pin in the countersunk head
of the screw and strike it sharply with a hammer to loosen the lock shoe
beneath the screw.
4. With lever "D" tightened and the upper slide unclamped, adjust : lock
nut "E" (it has right-hand threads) until the infeed lever works easily
and with no evidence of back-lash .
5 . Tighten set-screw "B" and replace the cover.
If desired, accuracy of the adjustment may be checked with an indictor

gage. There should be no appreciable arc through which the infeed lever
must be moved before the indicator registers a movement of the upper
slide . Total travel of the slide should be about .032" .

RECOMMENDATIONS ON GRINDING FLUIDS

Three types of grinding fluids are commonly used in centerless grinding
operations . (1) Cimcool, a product of The Cincinnati Milling Machine Co .,
(2) soluble oil, obtained from most oil companies, and (3) hydrant water.
Cimcool is recommended because of certain outstanding advantages, par-
ticularly in cleanliness and sterility and freer cutting action of the wheel.
Steel. When grinding steel with Cimcool, a dilution of one part of Cim-
cool in 100 parts of water is normally satisfactory . On operations requiring
a high finish, a heavier mix, such as a dilution of one part of Cimcool in as
little as 60 parts of water, may be used. When using soluble oil one part
of soluble oil in 20 to 40 parts of water will give satisfactory results with a
general class of work .
Cast Iron. Cimcool is suitable for grinding cast iron without the addition
of sods . The Cimcool Water Conditioner serves the purpose gained by
adding soda to a soluble oil solution . Cimcool should be diluted, one part
to 100 parts of water, for grinding cast iron. If soluble oil is used, one part
soda (about 25% concentration) should be added to the solution (one part
soluble oil in 20 to 40 parts of water) .
Aluminum . When grinding aluminum and using soluble oil as a grinding

fluid, about 2 parts kerosene should be added to the solution recommended
for steel and cast iron.
Rubber, Carbon, Celluloid, Casein, etc. Use hydrant water when

grinding rubber, carbon, celluloid, casein, etc. and reject the waste into the
sewer or a large external settling tank. The stock removal is high and the
standard tank is not large enough.
Fibre. Paraffin oil should be used as a grinding fluid when grinding fibre .
Warning . Do not mix Cimcool with other cutting fluids . Keep machine
reservior full. Clean reservoir thoroughly before filling with Cimcool.

REGRINDING WORK SUPPORT BLADES
REGRINDING WORK SUPPORT BLADES

Blades made of sintered carbide, High Speed Steel, and similar materials
must be ground very carefully . These blades have remarkable wearing
qualities, and therefore are very resistant to grinding wheels. The wheel
quickly becomes dull during regrinding. Dull wheels check the blade, but
with the proper precautions a blade can be reground to its original accuracy.
The procedure given below must be followed if you want good results
1 . Take light cuts ; about .0005" for high speed steel, .0002" for harder
material .
2 . If using a conventional abrasive wheel, dress it often .
3 . (a) Flood with coolant if ground on a surface grinder.
(b) Grind dry on a conventional cutter grinder.
Use a diamond wheel for regrinding sintered carbide blades. Consult your
wheel manufacturer .
If the blade is narrow, say Y4" or less, light cuts can be taken dry without
danger of overheating and checking, but be careful to avoid coolant or oil
dropping on the blade.
We will not be responsible for any blade damaged by improper grinding .
63
G' .1
SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
Immediately upon receipt, all wheels should be closely inspected to be sure
that they have not been injured in transit. Inspect for cracks by tapping
gently (while suspended) with a light implement, such as the handle of a
screw driver . Wheels must be dry and free of sawdust when applying this
test . I f they do not emit a clear, ringing sound, they must not be used.
New wheels should be run at full operating speed for at least one minute
before applying the work, during which time the operator should stand at
one side .
Wheels should be stored in a dry place, and supported by pegs in racks .
Figure 58
Save Your Fingers . Use a Pusher Stick for
Short Thru-Feed Work
When thru-feed grinding relatively short work without the use of a loading
device, it is advisable to avoid the practice of pushing the work between
the wheels with your fingers . Use a short length of dowel pin, as illustrated
in Figure 58, a strip of wood shingle, or any similar material of a convenient
length and shape .

Grinding Wheel Reciprocat-

ing Attachment . The stand-
ard spindle reciprocating attach-
ment, illustrated in Figure 72,
provides an adjustable recipro-
cation or oscillation of the grind-
ing wheel spindle ranging from
32" to is" . The lever starts
and stops the reciprocation,
while the knob . controls the
length of the stroke.
Caution-When not using spindle

reciprocation, shift the lever
to the "stop" position.
Figure 72
Reciprocation of the grinding Grinding Wheel Reciprocating
Attachment, Showing Control Elements
wheel spindle is used to improve
the finish obtained on infeed
work. When changing over to a thrufeed job, the lever is shifted to the
"stop" position, as explained above. This brings the side of the grinding
wheel about Y8" behind the side of the regulating wheel . If the job requires
that the sides of the two wheels must be in line, then remove the regulating
wheel and remove the washers behind the wheel .
On old style hydraulic reciprocating attachments, there was a dial

knob where the lever is now located. However, the above instruc-
tions apply to both the old and new styles.
Attachment Fails to Operate . If the reciprocating attachment fails to work,

the throttle valve may be stuck because of a gummy oil deposit. Ordinarily,
this will not happen except when the machine has been idle for several
weeks . To correct this condition, proceed in the following manner
1 . Remove the pipe plug (Figure 73) lock screw, and adjusting screw.
2. With the reciprocating lever in the stop position, start the machine .
The oil pressure will push the throttle valve forward and wash it off,
with only a slight amount of oil leaking out.
3 . When replacing the parts, set the adjusting screw to produce 25 to 30

reciprocations per minute . This is for average conditions with a new
wheel.

TYPE C BAR GRINDING F I XTURE
SETTING UP THE TYPE C BAR GRINDING FIXTURE

One important requirement must be remembered for suc-
cessful bar grinding-the bars must be straight before they
are sent to the centerless grinder. Bent or mis-shaped
bars can not be corrected by grinding .
In general, the setting up of bar grinding fixtures follows the descriptions

given under "Thru-Feed Grinding" . In some ways, however, the use of
the Roller Type Long Bar Fixture (type C) varies somewhat from stand-
ard thru-feed procedure, as explained in the following paragraphs :
Setting Up. Place the work rest body on the machine, making sure the
tops of the blades as well as the work rest are level . Insert the fixture bars
in the work rest, with the outboard ends resting on the supports . The arms
that are pinned to the bars go on the grinding wheel side, so that the angle
of the rollers is opposite to the feed angle of the regulating wheel. The
rollers on the pivoting arms are then on the regulating wheel side . This
combination of roller angles provides a feeding action for the work . Leave
the fixture bars free to turn in the ends of the work rest .

Blades. For roughing, the angle of the top of the blade is usually 15' to
give the necessary rounding action . The angle may be decreased if neces-
sary to eliminate chatter on the finishing cut. Good results can be obtained
with cast iron blades .
Grinding Wheel. The grading of the grinding wheel should be slightly

harder than that recommended for the lighter standard thru-feed work :
l . To maintain a good grinding pressure for turning the heavier work .
2 . To hold up under the stress induced by the whipping of bent work .
(See introductory statement at top of page 73) .
Regulating Wheel. An 8" wide regulating wheel should be used with a 6"
wide grinding wheel . Place a 1 " spacer behind the grinding wheel . This
will center the two wheels with each other, and the regulating wheel will
extend 1 " to the front and rear of the grinding wheel . The force exerted
by the pressure rollers keeps the bar (work) in contact with the regulating
wheel, and starts rotation of the work before it contacts the grinding wheel
and after it clears.
Center Distance . Place the bar on the blade and bring the regulating
wheel up against the bar until the bar rests along the center of the angular
surface of the blade .
If the bar is not quite straight, it should be located about Y4" below center
in order to hold the work to the blade and prevent whipping . When rough
work is too much out of round to be sufficiently corrected by grinding below
center, roundness can be obtained by grinding above center . In the latter
case, it is especially important that the work be straight before grinding .
To raise or lower the blade, loosen the lock nut and notched locking collar
on the grinding wheel side of the work rest, and turn the shaft with the end
nut . The rotation of the shaft adjusts the height of the blade through
the medium of cams . Lock the adjusting mechanism when the proper
height is obtained .
Feed Angle. The feed angle will vary between 1 y2° and 3 ° depending
upon the diameter of the work ; the smaller angle being used on the larger
work diameters. Never exceed 3 ° for any size stock .
Adjusting the Rollers . Adjust the pressure rollers on the work rest,
applying slight pressure to rollers on the grinding wheel side. These rollers
can be tilted and should have an angle opposite to that of the regulating
75 ]
at JrV
wheel, to help the feeding action. The rollers on the regulating wheel side
of the work rest should be brought up to a position slightly behind the
surface of the regulating wheel . This will tend to prevent a whipping action
of the work between the wheels. Bring the bottom rollers up until -they
touch the bar and still have the bar resting on the blade .
With the bar held in the above manner, test along the blade, and along the
surface of the regulating wheel, with a .0015" feeler gage to see that the bar
is bearing evenly at all points.
Locking Fixture . With the bar resting on the blade, and held against the
regulating wheel by the pressure rollers, turn the fixture shaft in the end
of the work rest until the rollers supported on the pinned arms contact the
bar slightly on the grinding wheel side ; then lock the fixture shaft to the
work rest. Bring up the rollers supported on pivoting arms until the point
of contact of the rollers with the bar is slightly above the horizontal center-
line of the bar.
Checking the Rollers . See that all rollers touch the bar lightly and
rotate as the bar is turned . This, of course, depends upon the straightness
of the bar .
Remove the bar from the grinding throat and place it in the fixture . To
determine if the rollers impart a feeding action to the bar, rotate it in the
same direction as that effected by the regulating wheel . If the action is
not as desired, the rollers supported on the pinned arms are not properly
located .
Operation . Start the machine . Start bar under the pressure rollers and
onto the regulating wheel . Do not attempt to grind . If the foregoing
instructions have been followed, the pressure rollers will hold the bar against
the regulating wheel and the bar will feed through the machine . Test the
rollers to see that each one rotates freely as the bar is rotated .
If rollers are set too high (tension too great to allow stopping of the rollers
with the fingers) the bar will be held off the blade, causing chatter.
1 f rollers are set too low, the work will have a tendency to whip . (Better
too low than too high) .
Rollers closest to the wheels must be set closely.
In some cases it will be found necessary to set the rollers to accommodate

the whip of bent work. In general, the rollers farthest from the wheels
must be adjusted for the greatest amount of whip . If this allowance is
overlooked, the bar can not rotate .
^~ TYPE C BAR GRINDING FIXTURE

Regulating Wheel Speeds . The speed of the regulating wheel should be

within 39 to 70 R . P . M . About 39 R . P. M . may be used for average work .
Higher speeds are desirable because they tend to keep the work rotating
evenly, but they are apt to cause a rough finish .
Stock Removal . The correct amount depends upon size and weight of
work, amount of bend in work, accuracy of setting of rollers, and speed of
regulating wheel . The following data represents average practice .
1 n terms of horse power of rriotor-
Rough finish-.15 cu, in. per h . p .

Extra fine finish-.04 cu . in . per h . p.

Y2" to 1" diameter- .005" to .006" per pass
1 " up-average .006" per pass
Finishing, all diameters- .0015" to .002" per pass
The bearing between the work, regulating wheel, and blade must be good .
It can be checked by using red-lead on a straight test bar.
ADJUSTMENTS FOR BAR-GRINDING WORK

1 . Grinding wheel marks on work. I f the bearing of the work on the
regulating wheel and work support blade is good, this condition has been
caused by improper truing.
2. Roller marks on work. Steel rollers will always mark the work. Too
great a roller pressure will increase the depth of these marks.
Whip due to bends will cause deep marks. To correct this, some allowance
must be made in setting the rollers .
I f the required degree of finish will permit the resulting marks, steel rollers
wear the best. Brass rollers leave much lighter marks, but wear rapidly .
Plastic rollers leave the lightest marks, but they wear very rapidly .
3. Rollers turn erratically . Care must be taken to keep the rollers well
lubricated and free from dirt, or they will rotate unevenly, or stop entirely .
I f the roller stops, a flat spot will be wom on one side, which will be con-
veyed to the work when the roller resumes its rotation .
4. Bar spins when contacting the grinding wheel. I f the bar tends to
spin when brought into contact with the grinding wheel, it may be caused by
insufficient pressure of the rollers on the grinding wheel side, or the bar may
be held off the blade by the bottom rollers .
5 . Feed lines on finished bar. This may be caused by the edge of the
grinding wheel on the exit side (see page 46), or the rollers on the grinding
wheel side of the work rest may be set at too great an angle, thereby causing
an action similar to that of a rolling cutter on the finished bar.

COOLANT PUMP
COOLANT PUMP
Many machines have a coolant
pump of the type illustrated in
Figure 77 . It is driven by a
single V-belt from the sheave on
the outboard end of the grind-
ing wheel spindle . If it should
become necessary to adjust the
bearings, or to replace the
mechanical seal, first remove the
complete unit in the following
manner
Break the intake pipe and out-

let hose connections at the
Figure 77
top of the pump . Remove the
Section Through Coolant Pump
belt guard . It is held to the
machine bed by several small
screws. Support the pump housing with blocks or a small crane, and
remove the four screws which hold it to the bed . The complete unit may
now be removed and placed on a bench .
I f the bearings need adjustment, it is not necessary to remove the pump

from its supporting housing. Merely remove the single groove belt sheave
to expose the end cover . (See pump manufacturer's description below .)
I f the pump leaks, it must be dismantled so that the mechanical seal can be
replaced . This operation requires the removal of the small grease lubricant
pipe and drain pipe, both of which are fitted to the pump body. (See
pump manufacturer's description of seal, page 81 .)
Bearings . Axial adjustment of the bearings is necessary to secure proper

support of the shaft. This adjustment is obtained by means of shims
placed between the bearing end cover and the cup of the bearing . The
proper number of shims have been installed in the unit during shop assem-
bly, but if a new bearing is installed, adjustment may be necessary by
[ gp] --
CINC INNATI No. 2 CENTERLESS GRINDING MACHINE
c' .1
increasing or decreasing the number of shims . The shaft should rotate

freely, but without appreciable end or side movement .
Lubrication . This type of pump is fitted with a grease nipple for lubrica-
tion of the bearings . Apply a small amount of grease every six months .
Too much lubrication will result in overheating and leakage.
Mechanical Seal. The seal consists of a carbon washer running against a

bearing surface which is part of the housing. A flexible diaphragm fits
tightly over the shaft and its outer end surface contacts the carbon, thus
sealing the shaft . The carbon is so mounted that as wear occurs it will
move forward and maintain proper contact with the stationary face . The
seal has initially about Y8 inch of take-up in this manner . Due, to the fact
that the carbon rubs on the stationary sealing face, some wear is to be ex-
pected. I t may be necessary to replace the seal periodically because of the
grit ordinarily circulating in the grinding coolant . The seal should not
leak after the first few hours of operation. If leakage does occur, it may
be due to the following
1 . The carbon is not seating properly due to binding of the driving ears in
the slots or an accumulation of dirt around the spring despite the flush-
ing action obtained by means of the cored holes through the impeller .
2. The carbon may be worn out and contacting the retainer which in turn
prevents further self-adjustment . The seal should be replaced under
these circumstances.

NOTES
*After station No . 7 has once been filled, it is unnecessary to again refill it or add oil, as the
leakage from the gear pump within the unit is sufficient to keep the reservoir full.
**When machine is used for infeed grinding especially high speed work, such as shells and
cores, lubricate stations 6, 9, 10, 11, 19, 20, 23 every 4 hours. If this is objectionable, use
Lubriplate No. 107 or No. 130-AA (Fiske Bros. Refining Co., Newark, New Jersey) daily.
For thru-feed work, once a week is sufficient .

STARTING THE MACHINE

Steps 1, 2, 3, 4, and 6, listed below, apply only to machines which have been
completely drained of oil, while steps 5, 7, and 8 apply each time the machine
is started .
1 . Fill the oil tank in the base (station 11, Figure 84), using the grade of
oil specified in the lubrication chart .
2. Remove the oil filter case by loosening the four hexagon nuts, fill it to
capacity with the same grade of oil, and then replace it. (The oil filter
is inside the bed. It is visible when the louver cover on front of the bed
casting is removed .)
f 89 l Publication No . C3-433-8
CINCINNATI No. 2 CENTERLESS GRIND ING MACHINE
3 . Fill the gear box to the top of the filler elbow (station 9, Figure 84) .
4. Remove pipe plug "A" in the top of the glass auxiliary supply reservoir
(Figure 88), and pour oil into this hole until all reservoirs are filled and oil
is flowing through the oil flow gages (peep holes) on the spindle cap.
About 3 quarts of oil are required if the reservoirs are empty .
5 . Now attend to all the other reservoirs, nipples, and cups (see lubrica-
tion chart) .
6. Prime the pump. (See Figure 84) .
7. Depress the plunger on top of the glass oil reservoir just before start-
ing the motor. Do this each time the machine is started .
8 . Start the main drive motor.
The oil must be flowing through the oil flow gages (peep holes) on the
grinding wheel spindle cap within 5 seconds after starting the motor.
Run the machine for about an hour, with the regulating wheel set at sloe
speed . Although all Cincinnati Grinders are given a long "rurz-in" test
during final inspection, it is important that this "limbering up" process
be carried out faithfully to insure an ample supply of oil to the bearings
before any work is done by the machine .
LUBRICATION
The importance of correct lubrication can not be over-estimated . Read the
charts carefully, pages 88 and 89 . Use only those grades of oil which meet
the specifications . The following discussion will give you a general idea of
the lubricating systems which differ from newer style machines .
Grinding Wheel Spindle . The grinding wheel spindle for the old style
No . 2 Centerless runs in plain bronze bearings which are split into three
parts, the lower part constituting half of the bearing (Figure 87) . The lower
halves are anchored in place on the machine by means of screws, whereas
the top quarters of the bearings are full floating and adjustable . In addition
to being confined radially by its bearings, the spindle is also held down by
the pull of the V-belts, the driving sheave being located directly under
the spindle .
An important feature of this machine is the lubricating system for the
grinding wheel spindle bearings (see Figure 86) . A gear pump in the speed
box draws oil from the tank in the base and then pumps it through the oil
filter to the reservoir system in the spindle cap and the auxiliary reservoir on
top of the cap. The reservoirs in the cap are used as a settling basin to
eliminate the air bubbles from the oil before it flows to the spindle bearings .
The glass container on top of the cap is used as an auxiliary oil supply when
starting the machine . Depressing the knob empties the oil into the reser-
voirs below, and from there it flows to the spindle, assuring an ample oil
supply before the machine is started . I f by chance the glass is empty, it
must be filled by hand before starting the machine and then the plunger
must be depressed to allow the oil to flood the spindle bearings .

Figure 86
OIL TANK Spindle Lubrication Diagram
As the oil flows by gravity from the reservoir down to the bearing retainers
and to the spindle, it is visible through peep holes located on the side of each
main bearing . After the oil passes through the bearings it drains into large
return pipes and back to the supply tank.
The supply tank should be kept full of oil at all times . It should be drained,
the filter cleaned, and then the system refilled with fresh oil every six to
eight weeks . The drain plug is located on the bottom of the filler pipe .
Regulating Wheel Spindle . The regulating wheel spindle is mounted

on plain bronze bearings (Figure 8, page 18) .
A reservoir with an oil level sight is cast integral with the regulating wheel
housing . The oil feeds to each bearing through wicks. The same kind of
oil is used in this reservoir as is used for the grinding wheel spindle .
Other Bearings . All other bearings, with the exception of those in the
speed box, are lubricated through individual or centralized oil cups. The
mechanism in the speed box runs in an oil bath. Full instructions are given
on the oiling diagram located on the bed of the machine .
Oil Filter . The oil filter is accessible through an opening on the front side
of the machine bed. The filtering element should be removed and cleaned
each time the oil is changed to insure a steady supply of clean oil to the
spindle at all times . Loosen the four hexagon nuts, remove the case, and
wash the cloth element in kerosene or distillate. Submerge one end of the
element in the cleaning fluid, and press it together several times, accordion-
like . If the nap is worn off, or if there are any holes in the cloth, the filter-
ing element should be replaced .

Regulation of Oil to the Glass Auxiliary Supply Reservoir . "the oil

should always be flowing through the glass oil reservoir, on top of the spindle
cap (Figure 87), without changing its level while the machine is running.
I f the oil is entering too fast and the glass fills up, or if it is not flowing at
all, make the following adjustments :
1 . Remove pipe plugs "D-D" (see Figure 87) .
2. Loosen the small set screws above the pipe plugs .
3 . If the glass is filling up, turn both adjusting screws in a counter-clockwise
direction . If oil is not flowing at all, turn screws in a clockwise direction .
4. Replace the pipe plugs and tighten the lock screws.
Visible Check of Grinding Wheel Spindle Lubricant

The two provisions for visibly checking the condition and rate of flow of oil
to the spindle bearings have already been mentioned . They are repeated in
this paragraph and explained in greater detail to emphasize their importance.
Two small circular windows, or "peep holes", Figure 88, allow the oil which
flows to the spindle bearings to be seen . Within 5 seconds after starting the
main drive motor, the oil should be flowing in a steady stream of about 2"
diameter . I f the oil flows slowly or intermittently, stop the main drive
motor and investigate the cause. The trouble may arise from three sources :
(1) Low oil level ; (2) dirty oil filter ; and (3) but not very probable, a leak
within the system .
The glass oil container on top of the spindle cap serves not only to flood the
spindle bearings with an initial supply of lubricant, but also presents a
visible check on the condition of the oil . If the oil is darker than when it
was first put into the reservoir, it is obviously dirty and should be changed.
I f appreciably lighter in color, it is probably diluted with grinding coolant .
I f the oil bubbles as it enters the glass, there must be a leak within the
system. These last two conditions should be corrected as soon as possible
by an experienced maintenance man or by our service man .
ADJUSTMENTS
Adjusting for Stretch and Slip of V-Belts . The pulley bracket is held
to the bed with four screws extending through vertical slots in the flange
of the casting . To increase the tension of the V-belts from the driving
bracket to the spindle, loosen these four screws, allow the pulley bracket to
settle in position from its own weight, and then re-tighten the screws. The
weight of the pulley bracket is sufficient to tighten the belts.
To compensate for looseness in the belts or chain from the motor to the
driving bracket, adjust the two screws at the bottom of the hinged motor
rails .
Grinding Wheel Spindle Bearings . Probably the best advice we could
give you under the above heading is "Do not adjust the spindle bear-
ings" . A poor finish may be the result of any one of a number of causes
(see page 46) but seldom, if ever, is it the result of the spindle being out of
adjustment. There are only two instances which demand spindle adjust-
ment : the first and more likely is to correct previous mis-adjustments, and
OLD STYLE MACHINES
le,
Figure 87
Section Through Grinding Wheel Spindle
the second is to adjust for the proper running clearance after the spindle
bearings have been replaced or re-scraped. I t is true that the shoes on top
of the spindle (see Figure 87) are adjustable, but the reason for this construc-
tion is : (a) to hold the spindle in position during transit of the machine ;
(b) to prevent the wheel and spindle from "climbing" while taking an
excessively heavy cut, and (c) to distribute the oil into a film of uniform
thickness .
If after reading the above paragraph, you are still determined to adjust the
spindle bearings, proceed in the manner explained below
l . The spindle must be running and the bearings must be warm . (Two to
three hours running time is necessary to warm them up to the correct
temperature .)
2 . Release set screw "A" and back off nut "B" about one-half turn (Figure
87) . (The thrust bearing must be loose when making radial adjustments .)
3 . Make the adjustments in the -- -
order 1-2-3-4, as shown by

5 . Check the spindle for end play with an .0001 " indicator . The end play
should not exceed .0001 " . (See Figure 51, page 56) .
After making the adjustments, note carefully that the bearings do not get
too hot. (About 1450 F. is the safe maximum temperature.) If possible
one man experienced in making accurate adjustments should be given the
responsibility of adjusting all grinder spindle bearings . Much better
results will be obtained.
Rescraping the Grinding Wheel Spindle Bearings . After long service,

the bearings may be in need of re-scraping . Scrape the lover half of the
boxes until the marking shows evenly over the entire bearing surface.
(Figure 89.) Note particularly that the contact surface shows clear across
the bearings .
The clearance at the upper edges and at the bottom of the bearings should
then be re-scraped to the correct width and depth, as shown in the sketch .
Note-A man who is thoroughly experienced at scraping bearings should

do this operation when it becomes necessary. One man should attend to
all the grinder spindle bearings, if possible .

**Guides 91708 . 216698, 92938 and 235462 for the Long Bar-Type B Fixture are common to ail three of
the work diameter range groups . When the work to be ground fails into more than one range group . It
is not necessary to order the guides which are dup licated . Order one set of the guides common to all work
diameter range groups and the odd (underscored) guide for the range groups in which you are interested .
'FtGuides 89690 and 89691 are supplied for Type B on the No . 3 machine in addition to the regular
guides to give maximum wheel wear for small diameter work .

TABLE OF. THRU-FEED WORK TRAVERSE RATES

Inches Per Minute
The rate at which the work feeds past the grinding wheel on thru-feed jobs
depends upon the diameter, speed of rotation, and angle of inclination of
the regulating wheel. The following table gives the theoretical v~~ork feed
rates in inches per minute for all combinations of these three variables .
Practically, there may be some slippage, but it should not exceed 2% .
