Grinding with a surface grinder is a delicate 

process that takes practice, skill, and knowledge. 

In addition to this, the method used for any one 

procedure will depend on a number of factors, 

including, but not limited to the material being 

ground, the grinding wheel being used, the 

quality and calibration of measuring tools, and 

the finish that is desired. 

For these reasons, specific techniques are not 

outlined in this manual. We recommend that you 

consult books, trade magazines, metalworking 

experts, and other reliable resources for 

techniques pertaining to the specific tasks you 

wish to perform.

The information that follows serves as a general 

outline to help familiarize you with the basic 

grinding technique.

The Model SB1023 is designed to be used with 

a magnetic chuck. The table is equipped with a 

T-slot for securing your magnetic chuck. Refer to 

your magnetic chuck manufacturer's instruction 

manual for proper chuck preparation and 

mounting techniques.

A magnetic chuck secures workpieces to the table 

without the use of clamps. With proper attention 

to preparation of both the workpiece and the 

magnetic chuck, a magnetic chuck will provide 

ample clamping force on most magnetic metals. 

Refer to your magnetic chuck manufacturer's 

instruction manual for proper workpiece 

mounting techniques.

Once you have chosen the proper wheel for the 

operation and properly installed the magnetic 

chuck on the table, use the following procedures 

to prepare for a grinding operation.

1.  DISCONNECT MACHINE FROM POWER!

2.  To ensure flat mating surfaces on the 

workpiece and the magnetic chuck, surface 

grind and stone the top of the chuck and the 

bottom of the workpiece. 

3.  Make sure the magnetic chuck is turned 

OFF, then place the workpiece onto the 

chuck. Once the workpiece is positioned as 

needed, turn the magnetic chuck ON.

4.  Make sure the grinding wheel is not 

contacting the workpiece, connect the 

grinder to power, then turn the motor ON.
