Thoughts?

I've been using air for a while now .................... best decision ever !

What about making one of those Venturi air coolers to make it colder.

Compressed air works pretty good, it’s just loud.

Hoping to run less pressure with this, with better cooling.

 

[Deets066]

Are the wheels compatible?
Would you build a catch basin under the whole head.
Cooler seems better to me.

No catch basin, just a mist

 

[Deets066]

Stop rocking chains and you won’t need it!

mostly for converting to square, but I’m hoping the comer on my wheel will last longer

You can buy what they call a "cold air gun" in the msc catalog. We use them all the time on the surface grinders that don't have coolant. They work really well. But they do blow you dust all around if you are concerned about that.

I like the foot pedal, pretty slick setup!

Looks good.


Curious to see if the oil clogs up the stone faster having to redress more often

Keeping that stone clean is a constant struggle for sure. and stones ain't free..

I did a 72 dl loop, both sides without dressing the wheel. Little to no change on my corner

Almost harder to get a good pic than it is to make a nice tooth.
