The Jig Grinder Unit 74 Objectives Select wheels and grinding methods required for jig-grinding holes Set up work and jig-grind straight hole to within tolerance of 6.0002?in. (0.005?mm) Jig Grinder Uses Need for accurate hole locations in hardened material led to development in 1940 Other uses Grinding of contour forms Radii Tangents Angles Flats Advantages of Jig Grinding Holes distorted during hardening process can be accurately brought to correct size and position Holes and contours requiring taper or draft may be ground Because more accurate fits and better surface finishes are possible. service life of part greatly prolonged Many parts requiring contours can be made in solid form Jig Grinder Similar to jig borer Capable of positioning table within .0001-in. accuracy Both vertical spindle machines Main difference is in spindles Equipped with high-speed pneumatic turbine grinding spindle Permits outfeed grinding and grinding of tapered holes Jig GrinderGrinding Spindle Main SpindleAssembly Grinding Head Outfeed Horizontal dovetailslide connects grinding head to main spindle of jig grinder Grinding head offset fromcenter of main spindle togrind various-size holes Amount of offset can be accurately controlled byinternally threaded outfeed dial, mounted on nonrotating yoke Three Depth Measuring Devices Adjustable positive stop Located on left-hand end of pinion shaft Microadjustments made by limiting screw Graduated dial Located on downfeed handwheel Indicates travel of quill Set to zero at any position and reads .001 in. steps Micrometer stop Fastened to column of grinder Diamond Dressing Arm Jig grinders must rapidly dress grinding wheels without disturbing setup May be quickly swung into approximate grinding wheel location and locked into position Final approach done by fine-adjusting knurled screw Advances diamond through dressing arm Grinding Two methods each with its own advantages Outfeed grinding Plunge grinding Small holes (less than ? in. i
