This 6 x 18" Surface Grinder allows you to  
The SB1029 is equipped with three easy-to-reach  
front-mounted handwheels for controlling table  
movement and grinding wheel elevation.  
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  
An integrated lubrication system uses a central  
oil pump to lubricate the major moving parts

material can be removed to create high-tolerance  
flat surfaces.  
grinding results.  
The dust port can be connected to a chip  
extraction system to pull away waste material  
and fumes created during the grinding  
process, resulting in a cleaner and safer work  
environment.  
One example of this type of work is the table  
surface of a metalworking or woodworking  
machine that needs to be made perfectly flat.  
By removing the table from the machine and  
processing it with a surface grinder, a perfectly  
flat surface can be created.  
The included diamond dresser is used to true the  
grinding wheel, ensuring high-precision results.  
Another example of this type of work is in the  
automotive industry. When a head gasket needs  
replacing, it is common practice 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.  
With thick, hardened steel ways, cast-iron  
construction, and Allen Bradley electrical  
components, this South Bend surface grinder is  
built to last.

Additional Surface Grinder Safety  
6. Cracked Wheel: Cracked wheels may break  
1. Eye Protection: Grinding causes small  
particles to become airborne at a high  
rate of speed creating a risk of eye injury.  
ALWAYS wear eye protection when using  
this machine.  
and fly apart during operation, increasing  
the risk of impact injuries. Replace cracked  
wheels immediately!  
7. Lung Protection: Grinding produces  
hazardous dust, which may cause long-term  
respiratory problems if breathed. Always  
wear a NIOSH approved dust mask or  
respirator when grinding.  
2. Wheel Speed Rating: Wheels operated at  
a faster speed than they are rated for may  
break or fly apart and impact the operator  
or bystanders. Before mounting a new  
wheel, be sure the wheel RPM rating is  
equal to or higher than the speed of the  
grinder.  
8. Workpiece Contact: A heavy impact on a  
grinding wheel or attempting too deep of a  
cut can cause it to break or fly apart, causing  
serious personal injuries. Avoid jamming the  
workpiece into the wheel to reduce this risk.  
3. Hand/Wheel Contact: Grinding wheels  
have the capability of removing a lot  
of skin fast. Make sure the workpiece  
is securely clamped to the table, then  
position your hands a safe distance away  
when grinding. Avoid wearing gloves as  
they may get caught in the grinding wheel  
and cause serious entanglement injuries.  
9. Wheel Flanges: Only use the flanges  
included with the grinder when mounting  
wheels. Other flanges may not properly  
secure the wheel and could cause the wheel  
to fly off or break apart.  
10. Fire Hazard: DO NOT connect a surface  
grinder to a dust collection system that is  
used with woodworking machines. Sparks  
emitted from the grinding process may ignite  
wood particles, resulting in fire or explosion.  
Only use a metal-specific dust collection  
system with this machine.  
4. Ring Test: Perform a "ring test" on grinding  
wheels before installation to ensure that  
they are safe to use. A wheel that does not  
pass the ring test may break or fly apart  
during operation.  
5. Starting Grinder: If a wheel IS damaged, it  
will usually fly apart shortly after start-up.  
Standing in the wheel path increases the  
risk of impact injuries. To protect yourself,  
always stand out of the wheel path when  
turning the grinder ON.

Circuit Information  
Power Supply  
A power supply circuit includes all electrical  
equipment between the main breaker box or fuse  
panel in your building and the incoming power  
connections inside the machine. This circuit must  
be safely sized to handle the full-load current  
that may be drawn from the machine for an  
extended period of time.  
Requirements  
Availability  
Before installing the machine, consider the  
availability and proximity of the required power  
supply circuit. If an existing circuit does not meet  
the requirements for this machine, a new circuit  
must be installed.  
For your own safety and protection of property,  
consult a qualified electrician if you are unsure  
about wiring practices or electrical codes in  
your area.  
To minimize the risk of electrocution, fire,  
or equipment damage, installation work and  
electrical wiring must be done by a qualified  
electrician in accordance with all applicable  
codes and standards.  
Note: The circuit requirements listed in this  
manual apply to a dedicated circuit—where only  
one machine will be running at a time. If this  
machine will be connected to a shared circuit  
where multiple machines will be running at  
the same time, consult a qualified electrician to  
ensure that the circuit is properly sized for safe  
operation.  
Electrocution or fire may  
occur if machine is not  
correctly grounded and  
attached to the power  
supply. Use a qualified  
electrician to ensure a safe  
power connection.  
Circuit Requirements for 220V  
This machine is prewired to operate on a 220V  
power supply circuit that has a verified ground  
and meets the following requirements:  
Full-Load Current Rating  
The full-load current rating is the amperage  
a machine draws at 100% of the rated output  
power. On machines with multiple motors, this is  
the amperage drawn by the largest motor or sum  
of all motors and electrical devices that might  
operate at one time during normal operations.  
Nominal Voltage ...............................220V/240V  
Cycle .............................................................60 Hz  
Phase ....................................................... 3-Phase

Circuit Requirements for 440V  
This machine can be converted to operate on  
a 440V power supply. To do this, follow the  
Voltage Conversion instructions included in  
this manual. The intended 440V circuit must  
have a verified ground and meet the following  
requirements:  
The full-load current is not the maximum  
amount of amps that the machine will draw. If  
the machine is overloaded, it will draw additional  
amps beyond the full-load rating.  
If the machine is overloaded for a sufficient  
length of time, damage, overheating, or fire may  
result—especially if connected to an undersized  
circuit. To reduce the risk of these hazards,  
avoid overloading the machine during operation  
and make sure it is connected to a power supply  
circuit that meets the requirements in the  
following section.  
Nominal Voltage ...............................440V/480V

Grounding Requirements  
In the event of certain types of malfunctions or  
breakdowns, grounding provides a path of least  
resistance for electric current—in order to reduce  
the risk of electric shock.  
Serious injury could occur if you connect  
the machine to power before completing the  
setup process. DO NOT connect to power until  
instructed later in this manual.  
For 220V Connection (Prewired)  
Improper connection of the equipment-grounding  
wire can result in a risk of electric shock. The  
wire with green insulation (with or without  
yellow stripes) is the equipment-grounding wire.  
If repair or replacement of the power cord or  
plug is necessary, do not connect the equipment-  
grounding wire to a live (current carrying)  
terminal.  
This machine is equipped with a power cord  
that has an equipment-grounding wire and a  
grounding plug (similar to the figure below).  
The plug must only be inserted into a matching  
receptacle (outlet) that is properly installed and  
grounded in accordance with all local codes and  
ordinances.  
GROUNDED  
Check with a qualified electrician or service  
personnel if you do not understand these  
grounding requirements, or if you are in doubt  
about whether the tool is properly grounded.  
15-15 RECEPTACLE  
Current Carrying Blades  
If you ever notice that a cord or plug is  
damaged or worn, disconnect it from power, and  
immediately replace it with a new one.  
15-15  
PLUG  
Grounding Pin  
Extension Cords  
Figure 2. NEMA 15-15 plug and receptacle.  
We do not recommend using an extension cord  
with this machine. If you must use one, only  
use it if absolutely necessary and only on a  
temporary basis.  
For 440V Connection  
Power supply connections that are hardwired  
to the power source must be connected to a  
grounded metal permanent wiring system, or

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. #OAT 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:  
s
s
$ISPOSABLE rags  
#LEANERꢀDEGREASER (certain citrus-based  
degreasers work extremely well and they  
have non-toxic fumes)  
3. Wipe off the surfaces. If your cleaner or  
degreaser is effective, the rust preventative  
will wipe off easily.  
s
3AFETY GLASSES ꢁ DISPOSABLE GLOVES  
Note: To clean off thick coats of rust preventative  
on flat surfaces, such as beds or tables, use  
A 0,!34)# PAINT SCRAPER TO SCRAPE OFF THE  
majority of the coating before wiping it off  
WITH YOUR RAGꢄ ꢅ$O NOT USE A METAL SCRAPER OR  
it may scratch the surface.)  
Note: Automotive degreasers, mineral spirits, or  
7$sꢂꢃ CAN BE USED TO REMOVE RUST PREVENTATIVEꢄ  
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.

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  
lifting straps to all four lifting hooks (Figure  
7) on the machine, 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 2500 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 installing the neoprene shipping seats  
(see Figure 14). These seats protect the  
longitudinal way and ball bearings from  
vibration, or possible moisture pitting if  
machine is to be put in long-term storage.  
Ignoring this notice, can lead to way or  
bearing damage which will void warranty.  
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.

Bolting to Concrete Floors  
Assembly  
Lag screws and anchors, or anchor studs  
(below), are two popular methods for securing  
machinery to a concrete floor. We suggest you  
research the many options and methods for  
securing your machine and choose the best one  
for your specific application.  
If you desire to use the mounting feet included  
with your machine, proceed as follows.  
To assemble the machine:  
1. Thread one jam nut on each foot stud,  
and apply lithium grease or similar to the  
threads on the studs to ensure that the studs  
will not rust inside of the base should water  
from floor cleaning activities pose a problem.  
Anchor Stud  
2. From the top down, thread each stud into  
the machine base until the ends emerge from  
the underside of the base.  
Lag Screw and  
Anchor  
3. Slide a foot under each stud, and thread each  
stud into its foot until it is fully seated.  
Figure 9. Common types of fasteners for bolting  
machinery to concrete floors.  
4. Tighten each stud until the machine is  
positioned approximately 12" off of the floor,  
as shown in Figure 10.  
Included with your machine are five cast-iron  
feet and adjustment studs. These feet are easily  
installed and provide a quick and easy method  
for machine leveling.

OPERATION  
To complete a typical operation, the operator  
does the following:  
1. Examines the grinding wheel to make sure  
it is suitable for use (has no visible cracks or  
large chips).  
Operation Overview  
The purpose of this overview is to provide  
the novice machine operator with a basic  
understanding of how the machine is used during  
operation, so they can more easily understand  
the controls discussed later in this manual.  
2. Examines the workpiece to make sure it is  
prepared for grinding.  
Note: Due to the generic nature of this overview,  
it is not intended to be an instructional guide  
for performing actual machine operations.  
To learn more about specific operations and  
machining techniques, seek training from people  
experienced with this type of machine, and do  
additional research outside of this manual by  
reading "how-to" books, trade magazines, or  
websites.  
3. Uses the elevation handwheel to raise  
the grinding wheel assembly to provide  
clearance when mounting the workpiece.  
4. Wipes the table surface clean to remove any  
debris that may interfere with the clamping  
process.  
5. Uses a magnetic chuck to hold the workpiece  
to the table, then turns the elevation  
handwheel to lower the grinding wheel to  
just above the top surface of the workpiece.  
To reduce the risk of  
serious injury when using  
this machine, read and  
understand this entire  
manual before beginning  
any operations.  
6. Turns the grinder ON, then stands to the  
side of the wheel path while the wheel  
reaches full speed.  
7. Performs the grinding operation.  
Note: Because the method for performing each  
grinding operation varies, specific actions  
are not listed here.  
Loose hair, clothing, or  
jewelry could get caught  
in machinery and cause  
serious personal injury.  
Keep these items away  
from moving parts at all  
times to reduce this risk.  
8. When the grinding operation is complete,  
turns the machine OFF and allows the  
grinding wheel to come to a complete stop.  
9. Removes the workpiece from the table.  
During operation, small  
metal chips may become  
airborne, leading to serious

Wheel Selection  
The ideal grit for an operation depends on a  
number of considerations. Use the table below to  
choose a grit suitable for your desired results.  
Most grinding wheels from major manufacturers  
are marked in a somewhat uniform manner.  
Understanding these markings will help you  
understand the capabilities of various wheels.  
Always refer to the manufacturer’s grinding  
recommendations when selecting a wheel for

Wheel Inspection  
Ring Test  
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.  
This test will give you an indication of any  
internal damage that may not be obvious during  
a visual inspection.  
To perform a ring test:  
1. Make sure the wheel is clean and dry;  
To inspect a wheel for damage:  
otherwise, you may get false results.  
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. Hang the wheel in the air with a piece of  
cord or string looped through the hole in the  
center, as shown in Figure 20.  
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.  
3. Inspect the paper washers on both sides of  
the grinding wheel (see Figure 19). 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  
radiate outward and the wheel may explode  
during operation, possibly causing injury.

Figure 20. Ring test setup and test locations.  
3. At the locations shown in Figure 20, gently  
tap the wheel with a light non-metallic  
device such as the handle of a screwdriver or  
a wooden mallet.  
Figure 19. Important paper washer.  
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!  
Note: If you need to replace or install new paper  
washers, replacements can be cut out of  
any thick construction paper or card stock.  
Regular notebook paper or paper from a copy  
machine is not acceptable, as it is too thin  
to provide the required cushion. Be sure to  
transfer any RPM limitations and wheel type  
information.

paper is left behind.  
Note: If you need to replace or install new paper  
washers, replacements can be cut out of any  
thick construction paper or card stock. Regular  
notebook paper or paper from a copy machine  
is not acceptable as it is too thin to provide the  
required cushion.  
Note: A slight wiping of the spindle threads,  
grinding wheel seat, and hub with a lightly-  
oiled rag is acceptable to prevent rust.  
9. Ring test the grinding wheel, even if it is  
new. If the wheel is free of cracks, slide the  
wheel onto the hub. Refer to Ring Test on

— After wheel dressing, the hub and  
grinding wheel must be removed as an  
assembly and balanced. Only after that  
will the wheel be able to deliver superior  
grinding results. Refer to Removing &

8. Inspect for the paper washers on both sides  
of the grinding wheel (see Figure 27). These  
paper washers serve as cushions between  
the retaining washer and the grinding wheel  
seat. Without the washers, cracks can be  
spawned from the center of the wheel when  
the retaining nut is tightened. Over time,  
these cracks can radiate outward and the  
wheel may explode causing possible injury.

To dress the grinding wheel:  
Wheel Dressing  
1. Insert the diamond-tipped dressing tool into  
its base (see Figure 38), and use a 4mm hex  
wrench to tighten the locking set screw.  
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.  
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 will not be the culprit.  
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 at a  
depth of 0.01mm will prepare the same wheel for  
finish cuts.  
Figure 38. Dressing tool setup.  
2. Lower the headstock so the wheel is  
approximately 5mm lower than the tip of the  
dressing tool.  
Positioning is critical for the dressing tool  
so you will not shatter the diamond or have  
poor results. For best results and safe use, the  
dressing tool must be positioned in the trailing  
zone of the wheel, as shown in Figure 37. 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 injury or property damage.  
3. Position the tip of the dressing tool at the  
trailing side of the wheel, as shown in  
Figure 37, and move the table inward until  
the diamond tip slightly touches the edge of  
the grinding wheel. Verify by rotating the  
wheel by hand and listening for contact.  
4. Apply the magnetic chuck, and move the  
cross slide so the diamond tip is free of the  
grinding wheel.

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.

4. Without letting any of the balance dogs or  
lock balls 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 indicated by the degree scale on the  
hub (see Figure 40).  
Wheel Balancing  
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 39 is one example of the  
many varieties available on the market.  
Before proceeding, the grinding wheel must be  
ring tested (refer to Page 23) and dressed (refer  
to Page 28).

If you lose any of the lock balls, it will be  
impossible to continue this procedure until  
they are replaced.  
Figure 39. Wheel on balancing fixture.  
5. Using a slightly-oiled lint free cloth, wipe the  
mating surfaces of the balancing arbor and  
the internal hub taper perfectly clean, then  
push them together, as shown in Figure 41.  
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.  
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  
Removing & Installing Grinding Wheel  
Hub on Page 26.

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.  
11. Rotate the wheel to 90° degrees and release  
it to observe the direction that the wheel  
rotates out of balance. Move each "B" dog  
toward one another and away from dog "A"  
in 1° degree increments to balance out the  
wheel.  
8. Using a pencil, draw a line on the wheel at  
the six O'clock position to mark the heaviest  
side.  
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 the heavy  
spot.  
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".  
10. Using the scale as a guide, position the other  
two "B" dogs so they are both evenly spaced  
120° degrees apart from the "A" dog. At this  
point, all dogs will be 120° apart from one  
another. "B" dogs will be the two dogs that  
will be moved to balance out the location  
that is out of balance.  
12. When you are satisfied with the wheel  
balance settings, install the grinding wheel  
on the machine, and test run for five minutes  
to verify the balance. If any problems are  
detected, repeat the balancing procedure.  
Note: Some machinists will re-dress the grinding  
wheel one last time at this point to ensure  
ultra-precision grinding results.

Magnetic Chuck  
Setup for a Typical  
The Model SB1029 table is equipped with a  
T-slot for securing a magnetic chuck. Refer to  
the magnetic chuck manufacturer's instruction  
manual for proper preparation and mounting  
techniques.  
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.  
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.  
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. Clean all surfaces  
to make sure they are free of contaminants.  
Dust Port Positioning  
The Model SB1029 has a dust port to gather  
waste material created during grinding. The  
dust port is vertically adjustable so that it can be  
positioned directly in the path of the sparks.  
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.  
To adjust the dust port position:  
1. Hold the dust port with one hand to prevent  
it from moving, then loosen the lock knob  
shown in Figure 42.  
4. Make sure the grinding wheel is not  
contacting the workpiece, connect the  
grinder to power, then turn the motor ON.  
Lock Knob  
Grinder Operation  
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.

Using the Surface Grinder  
Surfaced Portion  
Workpiece  
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 achieved with multiple  
light passes.  
Surfaced Portion  
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.  
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.  
Slightly overlap passes to ensure complete  
coverage.

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 43 for

Machine Storage  
If the machine is not properly prepared for  
storage, it may develop rust or corrosion. If  
decommissioning this machine, use the steps  
in this section to ensure that it remains in good  
condition for later use.  
To prepare your machine for storage:  
Wires  
1. Pump out the old oil, then clean and wipe  
out the oil reservoir.  
2. If coolant was used, put on safety goggles  
and clean the coolant system. Next, add  
a few drops of oil in the lines to prevent  
corrosion, and blow out the lines with  
compressed air.

3. DISCONNECT MACHINE FROM POWER!  
Shipping Seats  
4. Remove the grinding wheel and hub. Coat  
the hub tapered bore and the spindle taper  
with white lithium grease for protection.  
5. Lubricate the machine as outlined in the  
Maintenance Schedule on Page 32, and  
thoroughly clean all unpainted bare metal  
surfaces, then apply a liberal coat of way oil.  
Figure 51. Neoprene shipping seat.  
6. Have an assistant carefully lift up on the  
table so it is raised approximately an inch or  
two, use the wires to insert each neoprene  
seat into its respective way (see Figures 50  
–51), then carefully lower the table onto the  
ball bearings. The table must be resting on  
the seats at all four corners.  
7. Next use a paint brush and white lithium  
grease to coat all bearings and ways with a  
coat of grease to prevent rust.  
8. Place one or two moisture absorbing  
desiccant bags at the bottom of the electrical  
box.  
9. Cover and place the machine in a dry area  
that is out of direct sunlight and away from  
hazardous fumes, paint, solvents, or gas.  
Fumes and sunlight can bleach or discolor  
paint and make plastic guards cloudy.

Electrical Safety Instructions  
These pages are accurate at the time of printing. In the constant effort to improve, however, we may  
make changes to the electrical systems of future machines. Study this section carefully. If you see  
differences between your machine and what is shown in this section, call Technical Support at (360)  
734-1540 for assistance BEFORE making any changes to the wiring on your machine.  
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  
you notice that any wires or components are  
damaged while performing a wiring task,  
replace those wires or components before  
completing the task.  
3. Modifications: Using aftermarket parts or  
modifying the wiring beyond what is shown  
in the diagram may lead to unpredictable  
results, including serious injury or fire.  
4. Motor Wiring: The motor wiring shown  
in these diagrams is current at the time of  
printing, but it may not match your machine.  
Always use the wiring diagram inside the  
motor junction box.  
8. Experiencing Difficulties: If you are  
experiencing difficulties understanding the  
information included in this section, contact  
our Technical Support at (360) 734-1540.

Wiring diagrams are provided in this section  
showing the Model SB1029 wired for both 220V  
and 440V. Refer to these diagrams if needed  
when following this procedure. Additionally,  
you must purchase 440V Conversion Kit (Part  
No. PSB1029510) in order to complete the  
conversion.

Hardwiring to Power Source  
Hardwire setups require power supply lines to  
be enclosed inside of conduit that is securely  
mounted and constructed in adherence to  
applicable electrical codes.

A hardwire setup for this machine must be  
equipped with a locking disconnect switch  
as a means to disconnect the power during  
adjustments or maintenance, which is a typical  
requirement for lock-out/tag-out safety programs  
(commonly required by OSHA). Figure 13 shows  
a simple diagram of a hardwire setup with a  
locking disconnect switch between the power  
source and the machine.  
To convert the Model SB1029 to operate on  
440V:  
1. DISCONNECT MACHINE FROM POWER!  
2. Open the motor junction box, then loosen  
the nine screws that secure the wires and  
jumpers to the motor junction block shown in  
Figure 53.

Due to the complexity required for planning,  
bending, and installing the conduit necessary for  
a hardwire setup, this type of setup can only be  
performed by an experienced electrician.

pump relay and spindle motor with the  
relays from the 440V conversion kit,  
installing all of the wires in the same  
location from which they were removed.  
7. Move the "T" wire from the 220V terminal  
to the 440V terminal on the transformer, as  
shown in Figure 56.
