essential for the production of articles of good quality,
and undue haste in this part of the manufacture results
in the production of a defective bond.
Small wheels, cylinders, etc., are sometimes burned in
muffles of about 1 cu. yd. capacity as they do not require
so prolonged a firing, but may be burned and cooled in
from four to six days, whereas larger articles require a
fortnight or three weeks.
The burning of abrasive articles with a vitrified bond is
a delicate matter requiring great skill, as an error of 20 C.
in the final temperature may spoil the articles.
The
burning is usually controlled by means of Seger cones,
which are small pyramids of fusible material which bend
over when they have been heated for a sufficient length
of time to the temperature which they are supposed to
indicate.

the case of an abrasive of 80 grit, the average depth
of each particle does not exceed 0-010 in., so that
if it falls out of the bond when it has protruded
half-way the maximum depth of cut cannot exceed
0-004 in., and in practice the deepest cut realized
with particles of 80 grit will not exceed 0-001 in.

It must be observed, however, that the hardness or
grade of an abrasive wheel or cylinder appears to vary
with the speed at which it rotates. Thus, a soft wheel
used above its normal speed appears to be harder than it
is, and on reducing the speed of a hard wheel it appears
to become softer.
Hence, by varying the speed within
reasonable limits a wheel which is normally too soft or
too hard, may be used satisfactorily. As a wheel wears,

The main features and
Machines.
the principal types of grinding
machines have already been indicated (see Chapter
VII, p. 82), but it is here necessary to deal with
certain constructional features which affect the
quality of the work done. As good grinding
machines are costly, it is inevitable that there
should be concessions to the requirements of the
smaller firms in the way of various attachments
to make possible the performance of a variety of
work on a single machine. The tendency, however, is towards the use of plain grinding machines
or of special machines limited to one set of functions, every detail being considered and worked
out for that puty alone.
