Those are great wheels and should give you the results you will be happy with.

Thanks
Do you use coolant with your PM?

No, much of the grinding done on these machines and their competitors was done dry. Remember 1 st. The part is only heald on with the magnet and 2nd these are designed to remove small amounts of stock very precisely.
Better shops had industrial vacuums on the grinders but most shops had nothing and it lands everywhere!
Most shops kept the grinders as far away from the other machines as the grit from the wheel breaking down is very abrasive to machine ways

Yes, I’m already devising ways to create a physical barrier around the machine as well as some sort of dust collection.

A dust collection funnel as close to the wheel as possible with the strongest vacuum you can get is the best solution. If you put it " inside the shower " you will be in there with it sucking in the dust too.
In the shops they would have them oriented by a wall so the dust would shoot at towards the wall instead of just into the air and if you lost a part it would be stopped by the wall.

Ahh that’s a very good point, thank you.
There is the dust collection chute on the end of the table but it does seem far away to do much good. Though I do not that the inside is fairly well coated with years worth of grit and grime so it much be partially effective.

Your welcome

Anyone ever thought about a lamina flow waterfall type dust collector for surface grinders:

What would you do with the CONTAMINATED water?
The swarf will contain more than just wheel break down particulates, anything that is in the material you are grinding will be in it as well

Same as you do when when grinding with coolant. Collect, filter, recirculate to tank. No different, really, just larger flow rate. All else being equal, a wall of fluid ought to be easy to collect. You'd probably want to use coolant rather than plain water as that's what you'll have in the machine anyway, plus you want to anti corrosion properties.

Spent part of the day organizing stuff to make way for the grinder.
Other than power I’m ready to go.
