If you must grind plated chrome, I would suggest a Silicon Carbide abrasive wheel. You are trying to grind a nonferrous material that is very gummy. You need a sharp abrasive that will have an exposed sharp edge. The general Aluminum Oxide abrasive is too dull and will not cut as clean. It will also generate too much heat.

(1) Check whether the characteristics of the grinding wheel meet the requirements of the use, whether the grinding wheel and spindle size match.
(2) The grinding wheel is freely assembled on the spindle of the grinding wheel and cannot be extruded. The diameter of the grinding wheel is suitable for the spindle and the chuck to avoid too large or too small. Clean with surface, no sundries.
(3) The chuck of the wheel should be symmetrical and the radial width of the pressing surface should be equal. The pressure surface is straight, and the wheel side contact is full, the clamping is solid, prevents the grinding wheel two side to be deformed and even fractured by the unbalanced force action.
(4) The Chuck and the grinding wheel end face should be sandwiched between a certain thickness of flexible material liner (such as asbestos rubber sheet, flexible cardboard or leather, etc.), so that the clamping force evenly distributed.
(5) The tightness of the wheel should be tight enough to drive the grinding wheel not to produce a sliding suitable, not too tight. When using multiple bolts to tighten the hard disk, the diagonal alignment sequence should be uniformly tightened to prohibit fastening bolts along the circumferential direction, or to tighten one bolt at a time. The fastening wheel chuck can only use the standard plate hand, prohibit to use the long spanner or use the Beat method to enlarge the tightening force.
The Ford Edge chrome clad wheels are causing balancing issues and costing everyone money in unbalanced and prematurely worn tires or even wrongly thinking the tire is bad. Watch this video and discover how the chrome clad wheels can be cleaned and balanced. Are your Ford Edge Chrome Clad wheels costing you money
The case screws can come loose and grind on the planetary. To see if that's the problem you need to pop the chrome drip ring off that covers part of the planetary. It's just a push fit, pop off with screwdriver tapped with a hammer.
Hello.
First of all I must warn you of the dangers bench grinders can represent. Here in Britain no one connected with a business is allowed to carry out any maintenance on any none-portable grinding machine unless they have attended and passed a course on the subject and every employer must keep a register recording what maintenance has been carried out and by whom. Grinding machines have been responsible for many industrial "accidents".
Householders and private individuals are exempt from the Law but cannot afford to be less well informed even though the five and six inch bench grinders sold to the domestic user represent a somewhat reduced risk, great care and precautions are still required, not the least of which is the use of good eye protection even if the grinder is fitted with shields.
The first problem about dressing the grinding wheel of a grinder intended for the domestic market is the tool rests are usually too small and insubstantial for the vibrating star-wheel type wheel dressing tool to be used correctly.
A demonstration would be the best way to learn how to dress a grinding wheel and there are many available on Youtube and here is a link to a particularly good video.
Finally, it is best to be aware of one little thought about problem. There is an optimum speed range when a grinding wheel works efficiently and small domestic grinders barely turn fast enough for them to be properly efficient, probably because it is reckoned price and user safety takes priority over efficiency.
The speed that is of concern is the surface or peripheral speed of the grinding surface rather than the rpm of the spindle and should that speed fall too low the wheel will not be able to operate efficiently, will become dull more quickly with a greater tendency to clog and the wheel will become hot in use and hot grinding wheels soon become dangerous.
I hope you will be able to see that by reducing the diameter of a grinding wheel by dressing it also reduces the surface speed of the grinding surface even though the spindle speed remains the same. The relationship between surface speed and spindle speed is why small grinding points need to spin at 20,000 rpm and an eight foot wheel at just a few hundred rpm - in both cases the surface speed is similar.
A domestic grinder should not be used for heavy work but as the size of the wheel is reduced it should be used only for increasingly light work and if it is desired to carry out "normal" grinding operations it would be better to replace the wheel sooner rather than later.
Most likely your rear brake shoes are worn down far beyond the min limits and you now have metal to metal contact, which causes the grinding noise, overheating and poor braking. You most likely will need to replace the drums. The other rear wheel will probably be the same.
It could be your wheel bearing. The grinding might be due to the weight of the car pushing on the bearing, when you have it jacked there is no pressure, so no grinding. Also, be sure your brake pads are good, they can cause a grinding noise but it would also probably, but not necessairly, make the noise when jacked up.
There is a nut that you release from the middle of the grinder wheel, (grinder blade) This nut is flat and has four holes in it.
You will see you are providing a spanner wrench to remove this nut. The wrenches' actual name is Lock Nut Wrench. It has a U shaped end with two pins sticking out. On on each side of the U shape.
The pins are inserted into the holes in the flat lock nut, located in the middle of the grinding wheel. The wrench is laid flat against the grinding wheel, with the two pins of the wrench going into any two holes of the nut.
At the top of the Makita grinder you will see a Black button. The button is pushed down to keep the grinding wheel from spinning. Holds the grinding wheel in place, as you turn the lock nut loose. When you release the button, a spring inside pushes the button back up out of the way.
As you view the Makita grinder, Release Button towards the Back, grinding wheel towards you, the nut is turned to the LEFT, to loosen. It is a Left threaded nut.
The grinding wheel spins to the Right. Using a left threaded nut insures that the nut will stay tight, due to the direction the grinding wheel spins.
