Suggestions on forming a water drip

admin

Hello,In my mind, I imagine having a grinding wheel being wet to be a fantastic idea, I have seen several videos online of people grinding with a water drip going over their wheel.  The only idea that comes to mine for simplicity is taking a empty milk jug and pouring water into it, poking a needle sized hole in the bottom and then making a small setup to direct the water's drip followed by a piece of duct tape to clog the hole when I don't need a drip going.  I don't have a hose to run water from or something in my garage so I'll have to have a fill-able container.If you have a better idea I would love to hear about it.  The idea is that the water would not only provide for a slightly better grind when grinding tungsten, but it would also greatly reduce the dust that goes into the air.Miller 330 a/bp water cooledI believe in gun control, I hold my gun with two hands.  If you want to know why, click here.Buy American or bye America.
Reply:Wet wheels are designed to be run wet. I believe that most dry wheels may be damaged if they get wet. At the speed a grinder runs you'd better make sure it can be used wet and it's not going to fly apart after you soak that wheel..No government ever voluntarily reduces itself in size. Government programs, once launched, never disappear. Actually, a government bureau is the nearest thing to eternal life we'll ever see on this earth! Ronald Reagan
Reply:check out some jewlery grinders online for ideas ( i made turquoise jewlery back in the 70s) yeah  the hippy days  peace man they use wet grinders but most are diamond wheels that except wet applicationsyou could use a reciruclation pump (small pond pump or a swamp cooler pump)a 5 gal. bucket -pump and a hose with a petcock but  i would check how they water proof jewlery grinders
Reply:Bad idea.  Wet wheels run about 100-300 RPM, grinders usually spin about 3600 RPM.That wheel will come apart & hurt someone or something.MarkI haven't always been a nurse........Craftsman 12"x36" LatheEnco G-30B MillHobart Handler 175Lincoln WeldandPower 225 AC/DC G-7 CV/CCAdd a Foot Pedal to a Harbor Freight Chicago Electric 165A DC TIG PapaLion's Gate Build
