Buffing takes a lot of power, maybe a lot more than you expected. Bench grinders come in lots of sizes and power levels. If you have a small, or inexpensive, or fractional hp grinder, it simply isn't up to the task. By the way, rpm is also a big factor. A grinder, especially a smaller one, turns at a pretty high rpm. A given hp rating at a high rpm gives less torque than the same hp rating on a different grinder with a lower rpm. On your grinder you might get away with smaller diameter and/or narrower buffing wheels that you use very lightly. Otherwise, your grinder just isn't going to cut it.

You should be able to hold the grinding wheel with a pair of leather gloves on your hands and lossen the bolt. Look very carefully at the threads to make sure you are trying to lossen and not tighten. Some are left handed threads on bench grinders.

Usually a new wire wheel comes with different size bushing just for the problem you are describing. Either that or take it back and get one specifically for your tool.

SOURCE: How to change the craftsman 6

without having the model number I can only go from experience on other grinders. First you would have to unplug tool and remove outer guard housing to expose the hex nut, one side of the tool would have a left hand thread and the other standard so you would need to hold both the hex nuts at the same tme and try both ways, when you get one off put a GOOD pair of pliers or similar device on the shaft and remove the other wheel

SOURCE: How do you tighten the nuts when changing the

Clamp the shaft behind one wheel with 'Channelock' or 'Visegrip' pliers, then tighten both nuts. Check the new wheels for 'off-center' running by spinning them with your hand. They may fit the shaft tight enough that there is no centering adjustment--use a 'wheel dresser' (either a stone type or a multi-wheel type) to true up the wheel so that there is no radial wobble. Hope this helps!

Dull or tarnished headlights fix

if you have dull or tarnished headlights that are plastic a good easy cheap fix it a wet sand and buff.

first take some 1000 grit or smoother sand paper and water and lightly sand the headlight lens evenly over the whole lens. while going a little heavier on the duller spots.

after wet sanding is done wash the lens with soap and water. now take a little compound with buffing wheel to the lens again evenly over the whole lens.

wash again making sure you have got all the compound off.

next you will need to glaze the lens with the buffing wheel. again evenly and you will see you headlight lens will look better than brand new.

The 'glass' cover on my Ironman triahlon 30 lap is cloudy-feels like it is etched- and now I can't read the watch at all. What can I do?

Go to your local hardware store and get a Dremel tool or a generic rotary hobby tool. They have buffing wheels and buffing compound that you can buy. Then apply some of the buffing compound to your buffing wheel and carefully buff your etching. Remember to re-apply buffing compound regularly when buffing.

How do I tighten the nuts on my bench grinder?

A bench grinder has left handed threads on one shaft and right handed on the other,so that the grinding stones don't unscrew the nut as you grind something.I haven't ever gotten around to getting a bench grinder,but on my father's, I used to just hand tighten the nut,then grab the grinding wheel with my hand while tightening the nut with a wrench.(You don't have to make it real tight,as the wheel pushing against the nut will keep it tight)

How to stop shaft from turning to remove nut and replace wheel

If you put a wrench on the nut on the other end of the shaft, you have a 50/50 chance that the nut you want loose will come loose. If the wrong one comes loose, you can remove that nut completely (and the wheel) then take the nut with you to the store to buy another one. Then put two nuts back on and tighten them together as a jamb nut. Then try again. If the wrong nut still turns, you have to tighten the pair of nuts together tighter. good luck

I have a beautifule tanzanite ring and the gemstone appears to be dull (not shiny). How can I restore the shine to the surface of the gemstone?

5 minutes in an ultrasonic cleaner or 30 seconds under a steam jet may be all it needs. The dullness is usually caused by body oils attracting dust and dirt. If the stone is actually scuffed it can be polished. Most jewelry stores will clean your rings for free (to get you in the store and tempt you with new baubles) and can buff it with jeweler's rouge and a buffing wheel if needed. DIY cleaners and steamers are available and handy to have if you have regular use for one. My wife has both but prefers the steam jet.

Hello - I have marble tile in my bathroom..we bought the tile from Louisville Tile in lexington ky. Louisville tile had told my husband to seal it. However, once he sealed it, the marble is now very dull,...

Try a buffing wheel on a side grinder to buff it out. Did they tell you to seal the tile or the grout most tiles are presealed and only the grout needs to be sealed periodically taking care not to get on tile cause it does dull it and takes alot of elbow greese to buff out but the above suggestion should make it a little easier.

Bench Grinders Usage

Grinding is the fastest way to deburr a sharp corner or dress the end of threaded rod or bar stock that's been cut to length. Fit a grinder with a wire wheel, and you have a handy tool for removing rust. Then switch to a buffing wheel and you're ready to polish metal to a mirrorlike sheen. But for most of us, grinders are essential for shaping and sharpening hardened tool steel and high-speed steel.
