Abstract
A grinding machine having a base on which is mounted a work piece support and a grinding wheel assembly including a rotatable grinding wheel. The grinding wheel assembly is provided with adjustment mechanisms to enable the grinding wheel to be pivotally adjustable about both horizontal and vertical axes; arcuately movable in a direction which is parallel to or included within a plane containing the plane of rotation of the grinding wheel; and moved along an axis which is parallel to the rotational axis of the grinding wheel. The work piece support is also pivotally adjustable about a vertical axis and is adjustably movable along its vertical axis so that for example the teeth of a circular saw blade forming the work piece and mounted on said support can be ground by the machine.
Claims11
A grinding machine comprising:
- a. a base,
- b. a work-piece support mounted on said base,
- c. a grinding wheel assembly having a grinding wheel rotatably mounted thereon,
- d. means mounting said grinding wheel assembly on said base, said mounting means including first means for pivotally adjusting the plane of rotation of the grinding wheel relative to said work-piece support about a first axis and a second axis and second means for pivotally adjusting the grinding wheel about a third axis for arcuate movement in a direction which is parallel to or included within a plane containing at least part of the cutting surface of the grinding wheel, and
- e. feed means for moving the grinding wheel along said third axis in a direction parallel to the rotational axis of said wheel.
