Storage of Grinding Wheels

Suitable racks, bins or drawers shall be provided to accommodate various types of wheels used, and shall have ample strength to carry the imposed loads. Most plain and taper sided wheels can be stacked on edge in racks.


Such racks as far as practicable, should provide two point cradle support for the wheels to prevent rolling.

Grinding wheels must be protected while awaiting use. Wheel storage should be arranged to allow wheel selection and removal without disturbing and damaging other wheels.
