FAQs
What is the purpose of the wet grinding system?
The wet grinding system supplies water to the grinding wheel, which cools the tool being sharpened. This prevents the metal from overheating, which could damage its temper and reduce its hardness and edge retention.
What types of tools can be sharpened with this grinder?
This grinder is versatile and can be used for sharpening a wide variety of tools, including chisels, plane irons, knives, scissors, and other common workshop cutting tools.
How often should I change the water in the tank?
It is recommended to change the water after each use and clean the tank to prevent stagnation, odors, and potential corrosion. For extended use within a single session, monitor water clarity and replenish as needed.
What is the role of the leather sanding wheel?
The leather sanding wheel is used after the main sharpening process. It helps to remove any fine burrs from the cutting edge and polishes it to a keen finish, improving the tool's sharpness and longevity.
Can I use this grinder for aggressive material removal?
The Einhell TC-WG 200 operates at a slow speed (110 RPM), making it ideal for precise sharpening and finishing rather than rapid material removal. For aggressive stock removal, a high-speed grinder might be more suitable, but it carries a higher risk of overheating.
What are the dimensions of the grinding wheels used?
The wet grinding disc has an outer diameter of 200mm and an inner diameter of 32mm, with a thickness of 40mm. The grinding wheel mount diameter is 12.7mm.
Troubleshooting
Grinder does not turn on.
Check if the power cord is securely plugged into a functional outlet. Ensure the power switch is in the 'on' position.
Water is not reaching the grinding wheel.
Ensure the water tank is filled adequately. Check if the water delivery mechanism is blocked and clear any obstructions. Verify the wheel is positioned correctly to pick up water.
Excessive vibration during operation.
Ensure the grinder is on a level surface. Check that the rubber feet are intact and making full contact. Verify the grinding wheel is properly mounted and balanced.
Poor sharpening results.
Ensure the correct grinding wheel is being used for the material. Check if the wheel is worn or glazed; clean or replace if necessary. Adjust the tool rest to the correct angle for sharpening.
