Listed below are problems, which may be encountered whilst grinding. Possible corrections are used advisedly here. It is practically impossible to establish hard and fast rules for turning out perfect grinding. There are many variables, which must be correctly attuned and an apparently irrelevant one may prove to be cause of trouble experienced. Also, the same cause may produce a varied number of grinding problems.

WORK NOT STRAIGHTENED BY THROUGHFEED GRINDING
Work
not straightened sufficiently before grinding
Make certain it is straightened on presses before grinding.
A Centreless grinder is not designed as a straightening
machine although it will remove slight kinks.
Insufficient stock left on piece for grinding.
Allow grinding stock equal to approximately three times
amount of run out.
Stock removal on first pass too great.
First pass should be a light cut with high spindle housing
angle but slow regulating wheel speed. This gives maximum
straightening effect on grinder. Use as wide a grinding
wheel as possible and cut full width of face.
Bowed short piece, about twice length of wheel face.
Straighten in press before grinding.
