Set-ups not difficult, involving the use of magnetic chuck for holding the work. Balance wheel and mount it on a spindle. Tolerance on sizes, parallelism and squareness are close, generally the print specification allows .002 to .003 tolerances, but not difficult to maintain. Some grinding specifications require the tolerance to be within .0001 to .0002, requiring very precise and demanding attention. The parts must have a good finish, no burn or chatter marks. Check the work using a micrometer, depth or fixed gages. Dress wheel for flat or face grinding.
