trialsiain Posted June 12, 2012 Report Share Posted June 12, 2012 Hi recently my rockman cnc pads have stopped sqeaking, they are set up square but i was just wondering why they could do that ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SamKidney Posted June 12, 2012 Report Share Posted June 12, 2012 Dead grind, wet pads/ rim, contamination etc.... File the top of your pads, regrind your rim and set it all up again. But if theyre working fine, just quietly, leave them, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trialsiain Posted June 12, 2012 Author Report Share Posted June 12, 2012 kk is it better to use a slow moving grinder or fast ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SamKidney Posted June 12, 2012 Report Share Posted June 12, 2012 As in disc rotation or the "sweeping motion" used when grinding? Rotation doesnt matter too much, Id say a faster rpm would give a sharper grind? Im only guessing here. I just use a standard grinder. Works fine for me.

williams Posted June 12, 2012 Report Share Posted June 12, 2012 Id say a faster rpm would give a sharper grind? Well I thinks it's like that too. I borrowed a 'standard' grinder from my dads work and didn't got any really good and sharp grinds, even with a brand new disc. I borrowed my mates angle grinder (his dad is a boss for a building company so they have the best stuff only) and I got REALLY sharp grinds that stays like forever! So I suppose it is like that, OOOR I've just gotten better at grinding... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dann2707 Posted June 12, 2012 Report Share Posted June 12, 2012 What's this standard grinder you speak of? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
williams Posted June 12, 2012 Report Share Posted June 12, 2012 What's this standard grinder you speak of? Me? If so it's a 'standard' bosh angle grinder... It cost like £50-70, so it's quite cheap. It has the same look like this one: http://www.google.se/imgres?um=1&hl=sv&safe=off&sa=N&biw=1920&bih=1099&tbm=isch&tbnid=HNkc2jSmV8hibM:&imgrefurl=http://gandhiappliances.com/index.php%3Fmain_page%3Dproduct_info%26cPath%3D485_226%26products_id%3D3694&docid=LKI5XfO2pP9DtM&imgurl=http://gandhiappliances.com/images/BOSCH-GWS11-125CIenl.jpg&w=400&h=234&ei=F6jXT4_QEuTN4QTI7ZX9Ag&zoom=1&iact=hc&vpx=738&vpy=234&dur=537&hovh=172&hovw=294&tx=213&ty=73&sig=106004786424327664020&page=1&tbnh=121&tbnw=206&start=0&ndsp=42&ved=1t:429,r:3,s:0,i:82 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SamKidney Posted June 12, 2012 Report Share Posted June 12, 2012 Just an off the shelf grinder Dan. No fancy superhigh RPM jobbie used for more "industrial" or practical jobs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dann2707 Posted June 12, 2012 Report Share Posted June 12, 2012 Ohh I see, right. Thought it may have been of a different type altogether. Seems like you're probably just getting the hang of grinds to be honest. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
