General Purpose
Grinding
Larger work pieces are best ground using
the top side of the Edge-Vision
TM
wheel.
You can use either slotted or solid abrasive
media for these tasks. Smaller work pieces
are best ground using the Edge-Vision
TM
wheel with slotted abrasives and the
Underside Port. This enables you to take
advantage of the Edge-Vision’s unique
ability to let you see through the wheel
and actually see the material surface as
you grind it.
