Grinding wheel balance: when should balancing be checked? Determine the most appropriate time to test a grinding wheel for balance to avoid vibration and poor finish. Choose the best practice.

Q: Grinding wheel balance: when should balancing be checked? Determine the most appropriate time to test a grinding wheel for balance to avoid vibration and poor finish. Choose the best practice.

Concept Imbalance causes chatter, poor finish, and bearing stress. A wheel should be checked and corrected for balance on the machine before use, especially after mounting or dressing. Final Answer Before starting the grinding operation

Difficulty: Easy

Only at the time of manufacture
Before starting the grinding operation
At the end of the grinding operation
Occasionally, without a set schedule

Correct Answer: Before starting the grinding operation

Explanation:

Concept
Imbalance causes chatter, poor finish, and bearing stress. A wheel should be checked and corrected for balance on the machine before use, especially after mounting or dressing.
