This 6 x 12" Surface Grinder allows you to  
smooth the surface of metallic workpieces. It  
utilizes a table that moves on a horizontal plane  
and a grinding wheel that moves along a vertical  
axis. By mounting a workpiece to the table, then  
moving the table and the grinding wheel during

to resurface the engine head to make sure it is  
perfectly flat, in case any warping has occurred.  
Aside from these features, we designed this  
machine to be extremely solid and durable.

Cleaning & Protecting  
The unpainted surfaces are coated at the factory  
with a heavy-duty rust preventative that  
prevents corrosion during shipment and storage.  
The benefit of this rust preventative is that it  
works very well. The downside is that it can be  
time-consuming to thoroughly remove.  
Many cleaning solvents are  
toxic if inhaled. Minimize  
your risk by only using  
these products in a well  
ventilated area.  
Be patient and do a careful job when cleaning  
and removing the rust preventative. The time  
you spend doing this will reward you with  
smooth-sliding parts and a better appreciation  
for the proper care of the unpainted surfaces.  
Avoid chlorine-based solvents, such as  
acetone or brake parts cleaner that may  
damage painted surfaces. Always follow the  
manufacturer’s instructions when using any  
type of cleaning product.  
Although there are many ways to successfully  
remove the rust preventative, we have cleaned  
thousands of machines and found the following  
process to be the best balance between efficiency  
and minimized exposure to toxic fumes or  
chemicals.  
Basic steps for removing rust preventative:  
1. Put on safety glasses and disposable gloves.  
2. Coat all surfaces that have rust preventative  
with a liberal amount of your cleaner or  
degreaser and let them soak for a few  
minutes.  
Before cleaning, gather the following:  
Disposable rags  
Cleaner/degreaser (certain citrus-based  
degreasers work extremely well and they  
have non-toxic fumes)  
3. Wipe off the surfaces. If your cleaner or  
degreaser is effective, the rust preventative  
will wipe off easily.  
Safety glasses & disposable gloves  
Note: To clean off thick coats of rust preventative  
on flat surfaces, such as beds or tables, use  
a PLASTIC paint scraper to scrape off the  
majority of the coating before wiping it off  
with your rag. (Do not use a metal scraper or  
it may scratch the surface.)  
Note: Automotive degreasers, mineral spirits, or  
WD•40 can be used to remove rust preventative.  
Before using these products, though, test them  
on an inconspicuous area of a painted area to  
make sure they will not damage it.  
4. Repeat Steps 2–3 as necessary until clean,  
then coat all unpainted surfaces with a  
quality metal protectant or light oil to  
prevent rust.  
Gasoline and petroleum  
products have low flash  
points and can explode  
or cause fire if used for  
cleaning. Avoid using these  
products to remove rust  
preventative.

P R E P A R A T I O N  
Weight Load  
Location  
Refer to the Machine Specifications for the  
weight of your machine. Make sure that the  
surface upon which the machine is placed will  
bear the weight of the machine, additional  
equipment that may be installed on the machine,  
and the heaviest workpiece that will be used.  
Additionally, consider the weight of the operator  
and any dynamic loading that may occur when  
operating the machine.  
Physical Environment  
The physical environment where your machine  
is operated is important for safe operation and  
longevity of parts. For best results, operate this  
machine in a dry environment that is free from  
excessive moisture, hazardous or flammable  
chemicals, airborne abrasives, or extreme  
conditions. Extreme conditions for this type  
of machinery are generally those where the  
ambient temperature is outside the range of 41°–  
104°F; the relative humidity is outside the range  
of 20–95% (non-condensing); or the environment  
is subject to vibration, shocks, or bumps.  
Space Allocation  
Consider the largest size of workpiece that will  
be processed through this machine and provide  
enough space around the machine for adequate  
operator material handling or the installation  
of auxiliary equipment. With permanent  
installations, leave enough space around  
the machine to open or remove doors/covers  
as required by the maintenance and service  
described in this manual.  
Electrical Installation  
Place this machine near an existing power  
source. Make sure all power cords are protected  
from traffic, material handling, moisture,  
chemicals, or other hazards. Make sure to leave  
access to a means of disconnecting the power  
source or engaging a lockout/tagout device.  
Children or untrained  
people may be seriously  
injured by this machine.  
Only install in an access  
restricted location.  
Lighting  
Lighting around the machine must be adequate  
enough that operations can be performed  
safely. Shadows, glare, or strobe effects that  
may distract or impede the operator must be  
eliminated.

Lifting & Moving  
Leveling & Mounting  
Generally, you can either bolt your machine  
to the floor or mount it on machine mounts.  
Although not required, we recommend that you  
secure the machine to the floor and level it while  
doing so. Because this is an optional step and  
floor materials may vary, hardware for securing  
the machine to the floor is not included.  
This machine and its  
parts are heavy! Serious  
personal injury may occur  
if safe moving methods are  
not used. To reduce the  
risk of a lifting or dropping  
injury, ask others for help  
and use power equipment.  
We strongly recommend securing your  
machine to the floor if it is hardwired to the  
power source. Consult with your electrician to  
ensure compliance with local codes.  
Unbolt the machine from the pallet and make  
sure that the table is locked in place. Connect a  
chain or lifting strap to the lifting hook on the  
machine (Figure 5), use a hoist or forklift to lift  
the machine off the pallet, and move it to the  
suitable location. All hoisting equipment and  
straps must be rated to lift at lease 1500 lbs.  
Leveling  
Leveling machinery helps precision components,  
such as bed ways, remain straight and flat  
during the lifespan of the machine. Components  
on an unleveled machine may slowly twist due to  
the dynamic loads placed on the machine during  
operation.  
never attempt to move this machine without  
first locking the table in place. if the machine  
is slightly tilted, the table could uncontrollably  
slide, fall off of the machine and cause  
machine damage or severe injury.  
For best results, use a precision level that  
is at least 12" long and sensitive enough to  
show a distinct movement when a 0.003" shim  
(approximately the thickness of one sheet of  
standard newspaper) is placed under one end of  
the level.  
See the figure below for an example of a high  
precision level.

After the machine is placed in the final location,  
and before the lifting apparatus is removed,  
you should install the machine feet. Included  
with your machine are four cushioned feet with  
built-in adjustment studs (see Figure 7). These  
feet are easily installed and provide for accurate  
machine leveling.  
Note: Over the course of the next six months,  
periodically verify that the machine is still  
level, and re-adjust the feet as required.

Wheel inspection  
Do not assume that a wheel is in sound condition  
just because it is new—damage can often occur  
during shipping, with age, with prolonged  
exposure to moisture, or because of improper  
storage.  
To inspect a wheel for damage:  
1. Remove the wheel and look for any cracks,  
chips, nicks or dents in the surface of the  
wheel. If you see any of these, DO NOT  
attempt to use the wheel.  
2. Do a ring test. This test will give you an  
indication of any internal damage that may  
not be obvious during a visual inspection.  
Figure 27. Wheel and hub removal.  
10. Unthread the hub puller and set it aside.  
3. Inspect the paper washers on both sides  
of the grinding wheel (Figure 29). These  
washers are cushions between the spacer  
washer and the grinding wheel seat. Without  
the washers, cracks can be spawned from  
the center of the wheel when the spanner  
nut is tightened. Over time, these cracks can

ring Test  
Wheel Dressing  
This test will give you an indication of any  
internal damage that may not be obvious during  
a visual inspection.  
Superior grinding results can only be achieved  
with a properly balanced and dressed wheel. Do  
not assume that a wheel will run true on the  
spindle if it is new or has not been separated  
from the hub.  
To perform a ring test:  
Dressing the wheel correctly will save you from  
wasting grinding abrasive and shattering the  
dressing tool diamond. Additionally, with a  
properly balanced and dressed wheel you can  
rest assured that if you have finish problems, the  
grinding wheel is not the culprit.  
1. Make sure the wheel that you test is clean  
and dry; otherwise, you may get false  
results.  
2. Hang the wheel in the air with a piece of  
cord or string looped through the hole in the  
center, as shown in Figure 30.  
Depending on the finish required, varying  
degrees of roughness can be obtained. For  
example: A fast dressing at a depth of 0.03mm  
will prepare a wheel surface for rough cuts, and  
slow dressing with multiple light passes of the  
diamond at a depth of 0.01mm will prepare the  
same wheel for finish cuts.  
Positioning is critical for the dressing tool so  
you will not shatter the diamond or have poor  
dressing results. The dressing tool must be  
positioned in the trailing zone of the wheel, as  
shown in Figure 31, for best results and safe  
use. If the tool is positioned on the leading side  
of the wheel, the diamond will be shattered or  
even grabbed by the wheel and drawn under the  
grinding wheel, causing severe damage or injury.

An undamaged wheel will emit a clear  
metallic ring or “ping” sound in each of these  
spots. A damaged wheel will respond with  
a dull thud that has no clear tone. If you  
determine from the ring test that the wheel  
is damaged, DO NOT use it!

To dress the grinding wheel:  
Wheel Balancing  
1. Insert the diamond tipped dressing tool into  
its base (Figure 32), and use a 4mm hex  
wrench to tighten the locking set screw.  
Static wheel balancing can be difficult and very  
time consuming without practice. For accurate  
grinding results, wheel balancing is mandatory.  
For this balancing procedure, you will need a  
wheel balancing fixture. The wheel balancing  
fixture shown in Figure 33 is one example of the  
many varieties available on the market.  
Before proceeding, the grinding wheel must be  
ring tested (refer to Page ) and dressed (refer to  
Page ).  
Figure 32. Dressing tool setup.  
2. Lower the headstock so the wheel is  
approximately 5mm lower than the tip of the  
dressing tool.  
3. Position the tip of the dressing tool at the  
trailing side of the wheel, as shown in  
Figure 31, and move the table inward until  
the diamond tip of the dressing tool slightly  
touches the edge of the grinding wheel.  
Verify by manually rotating the wheel and  
listening for contact.  
Figure 33. Wheel on balancing fixture.  
If flood coolant was used with the grinding  
wheel, run the machine with the grinding wheel  
installed for 5-minutes to sling off any residual  
coolant that may have settled to the low side of  
the wheel. If the paper washers are missing, wet,  
or damaged, replace them before proceeding. If  
during a period of machine operation, you find  
that a finish is becoming poor, redress the wheel.  
If that does not correct the problem rebalance  
your grinding wheel.  
4. Turn on the magnetic chuck, and move the  
cross slide so the tip is free of the grinding  
wheel.  
5. Start the grinder, and use the cross slide  
handwheel to progressively move the table,  
so the diamond sweeps across the wheel at a  
depth between 0.01 – 0.03mm.  
To balance the grinding wheel:  
1. DISCONNECT MACHINE FROM POWER!  
2. Set up the wheel balancer as outlined in its  
product user manual.  
3. Remove the grinding wheel and hub as  
a unit from the spindle as outlined in

4. Without letting any of the dogs or the lock  
balls they contain fall out of the hub, use  
a 2.5mm hex wrench to loosen the dogs  
and position them at the 0°, 120°, and 240°  
degree locations as indicated by the degree  
scale on the hub (Figure 34).  
7. Spin the wheel so it rotates one full turn and  
comes to rest with the heaviest side hanging  
down at six o'clock. This may take a few  
times to find the exact location.  
8. Using a pencil, draw a line at the six o'clock  
position to mark the heaviest side of the  
wheel.

9. Line up the closest dog with the line you  
just drew and lock it in place. This dog will  
now be positioned at the heaviest side of the  
wheel and will be called dog "A".  
Dog Slot  
10. Using the scale, position the other two "B"  
dogs so they are both evenly spaced 120°  
degrees apart from dog "A". At this point all  
dogs will be 120° apart from one another.  
The "B" dogs are the two dogs you will move  
to balance the wheel.

Paper Washer  
Figure 34. Grinding wheel hub.  
11. Rotate the wheel 90° degrees, let go, and  
observe the direction that it rotates out of  
balance. Move each "B" dog in one degree  
increments, toward each other and away  
from dog "A" to balance the wheel. For  
example, depending on the amount of  
balance correction, the distance between  
the two "B" dogs will decrease, and the  
distance between the "B" dogs and "A" dog  
will increase. This step must be repeated  
as many times as required until the wheel  
will not rock back and forth by itself in any  
position.  
Note: Pay special attention to keep the dogs  
engaged in the hub slot when they are loose.  
If you lose any of the 4mm lock balls, it will  
be impossible to continue this procedure  
until they are replaced.  
5. Using a slightly-oiled lint free cloth, wipe the  
mating surfaces of the balancing arbor and  
the internal hub taper perfectly clean, and  
push the hub and arbor together, as shown  
in Figure 35.  
12. When you are satisfied with the wheel  
balance, install the grinding wheel on the  
machine, and run it for five minutes to verify  
the wheel is in balance.  
13. If any balance problems are detected, repeat

Magnetic Chuck  
Grinder Operation  
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.  
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  
A magnetic chuck secures workpieces to the table the finish that is desired.  
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.  
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.  
Setup for a Typical  
Grinding Operation  
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.  
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.

O P E R A T I O N  
Using the Surface Grinder  
Surfaced Portion  
Grinding Wheel  
Operation of the grinder is controlled through  
the movement of the three handwheels. The  
elevation handwheel controls the up and down  
movement of the grinding head. It is this axis  
that governs the amount of stock removal.  
Never attempt to remove too much material in  
one pass. The best results are be achieved with  
multiple light passes.  
Workpiece  
The longitudinal travel handwheel rapidly moves  
the table from left to right. This allows the  
operator to move the workpiece back and forth  
underneath the grinding wheel.  
Surfaced Portion  
The cross travel handwheel controls the front-  
to-back movement of the table and is only to be  
used between longitudinal passes to expose a  
new area of the workpiece to the grinding wheel  
New Portion  
Exposed  
*Movement exaggerated for clarity  
Surfaced Portion  
When grinding, sweep the table back and forth  
under the wheel in the longitudinal direction  
until no further sparks emerge from the  
workpiece, move the table in the cross direction  
to expose a new portion of the workpiece to  
the wheel, then take another sweep in the  
longitudinal direction. Repeat this process until  
the entire surface is ground. See Figure 36 for  
an illustration of this process.  
Surfaced Portion  
Grinding Tips  
While every grinding operation is unique, there  
are a few techniques that apply to most, if not all  
grinding operations.  
During longitudinal passes, tighten the cross  
travel lock knob to prevent chatter that may  
occur as a result of slight cross movement of  
the table.  
New Portion  
Exposed  
*Movement exaggerated for clarity  
Surfaced Portion  
Between longitudinal passes, use the  
squeegee to remove any foreign material  
from the workpiece.  
Continue/repeat as necessary until desired  
results are achieved.

of backlash can be determined by lightly turning  
the handwheel with your fingertips in one  
direction until the handwheel stops, noting the  
location shown on the handwheel scale. Then the  
handwheel is turned in the other direction until  
it stops. The distance between both stopping  
locations is the amount of backlash. If the

the dovetailed ways to bind or prematurely wear.  
A loose gib can cause dimensional problems or a  
poor finish on the workpiece.  
The backlash adjustment is made by tightening  
or loosening the cross-feed leadscrew halfnut  
cap screws shown in Figure 42. These screws  
draw two halves of the halfnut together against  
the leadscrew placing pressure on the threads.  
If this fit is too tight, loosen the cap screws, tap  
the table a few times with a rubber or wooden  
mallet, and turn the handle slowly back-and-  
forth until the handle turns freely. To readjust  
the backlash, rock the handle back-and-forth and  
tighten the screws slowly until the backlash is  
correct.  
Note: Avoid the temptation to overtighten  
the cap screws at the leadscrew halfnut.  
Overtightening will cause excessive wear  
to the halfnut and leadscrew. Reducing  
backlash to less than 0.003" is impractical  
and reduces the life of the gib and the ways.

1. Shock Hazard: It is extremely dangerous to  
perform electrical or wiring tasks while the  
machine is connected to the power source.  
Touching electrified parts will result in  
personal injury including but not limited to  
severe burns, electrocution, or death. For  
your own safety, disconnect machine from  
the power source before servicing electrical  
components or performing any wiring tasks!  
5. Circuit Requirements: Connecting the  
machine to an improperly sized circuit will  
greatly increase the risk of fire. To minimize  
this risk, only connect the machine to a  
power circuit that meets the minimum  
requirements given in this manual.  
6. Capacitors/Inverters: Some capacitors and  
power inverters store an electrical charge for  
up to 10 minutes after being disconnected  
from the power source. To reduce the risk of  
being shocked, wait at least this long before  
working on capacitors.  
2. Wire Connections: All connections must be  
tight to prevent wires from loosening during  
machine operation. Double-check all wires  
disconnected or connected during any wiring  
task to ensure tight connections.  
7. Wire/Component Damage: Damaged wires  
or components increase the risk of serious  
personal injury, fire, or machine damage. If
