FIGURE 1. Cincinn ati No. 2 R adius Grinding Attachment, s et up for
grinding a radius on the teeth of a 6 " shell end mill.
Medium to large-sized milling cutters
requiring an accurate 90 ° radius on the
corner of the teeth may be quickly and
accurately ground on a Cincinnati No. 2
Cutter and Tool Grinder equipped with
a No. 2 Radius Grinding Attachment.
This device is suitable for grinding radii
up to 1", either as a separate operation
or in combination with the diameter
and/ or face of the teeth, on cutters from
4" to 12" diameter. The attachment is
recommended for shops where flat sur-
faces must be milled square with each
other, with a radius fillet between them.
In general, the attachment consists of
four principal elements: a base which is
bolted to the machine table; a swivel
plate; an adjustable table; and the work
head support. A micrometer gage is also
included to provide a means for accurately
determining the zero or starting position.
The work head itself and draw-in bolt are
part of the regular machine equipment.
A heavy anti-friction trunnion in the base,
overhanging the rear of the machine
table, amply supports the swivel plate
and other parts of the set-up, plus any
size cutter within the capacity of the
attachment. The swivel plate swings
through an arc of 90 °, limited by an
adjustable stop on the machine table
and a fixed stop in the attachment.
Two T-slots in the adjustable table
permit the work head support to be
transferred from one to the other for
various sized cutters. Both the adjust-
able table and work head support may
be accurately adjusted at right angles
to each other.
The entire unit, from the micrometer
setting gage to the dial-indicated radius
adjustments and smooth anti-friction
trunnion, has the potential to produce a
high quality ground radius within the
specifications indicated on the following
page.

STANDARD EQUIPMENT SUPPLIED WITH THE ATTACHMENT

The standard Radius Grinding Attachment consists of fitted swivel housing
with swivel table and top plate; work head support; stop bracket; micrometer
locating gage; grinding wheel Type No. 27- A46-G6-V60- 8" O.D. x 1 1,f' l.D. x 3 "
face; wheel collet assembly; guard for grinding wheel; motor pulley for use with
8" wheel; suitable T-bolts, nuts, washers and tongue strips.

NOT The following parts are included with the regular machine equipment, and therefore are not included when supply-
ing the attachment: Work head spindle housing, draw-in bolt, collet 12 to 7 B. & S. taper, collet 12 to 9 B. & S.
taper, and collet 12 to 10 B. & S. taper.

supplied on request at additional cost: Arbor (National Standard No. 50 Series
Taper), adapter bushings, additional collets.

ORDERING INSTRUCTIONS
When ordering this attachment, give serial number of machine and speed of

• main drive motor. (Motor rpm is required so that correct pulley can be supplied
for 8" diameter wheel.)

The instructions given here are very brief, based on
the assumption that the operator is familiar with
cutter sharpening operations. More detailed in-
formation will be found in the instruction book for
Cincinnati No. 2 Cutter and Tool Grinders. Pro-
ceed as outlined below, grinding the diameter of
the cutter first, followed by the face and radius
grinding operation.
1. Locate and Clamp Attachment to Machine
Table. At left-hand end of table, attachment is in
proper location to grind diameter, radius and face.
2. Mount Grinding Wheel on 4" Spindle Exten-
sion. Use a 6" diameter wheel } 8" wide.
3. Center Cutter with Wheel. Tighten lock
screw "A". (Fig. 4.)
4. Select Clearance Angle. Face mill clearance
angle table should be employed for this purpose.
5. Mount Tooth Rest Assembly. A tooth rest
blade should be fashioned to the shape indicated
by Figure 3. Standard blade No. 65624 can be used
for this purpose. Important: High point of blade,
upon which cutter tooth slides, must be directly
in front of wheel. Loosen screw" A".
6. Grind Diameter of Cutter. Tighten screw
"B", Fig. 4, and proceed in usual manner for
grinding helical teeth.

micrometer gage. The adjustment (gage reading)
must be the same for the diameter and face of
the cutter, Figures 2 and 4.
7. Adjust for Radius. Mount micrometer gage in
tapered hole, and set for desired radius (Fig. 4).
Carefully adjust crank"D" until periphery of cutter
contacts micrometer. Set graduated dial to zero.
Turn gage 90° against other stop, and repeat for
face of cutter. Remove gage. Loosen screw "B".
8. Position for Grinding. Adjust table and saddle
so point of cutter tooth swivels on high point of
blade directly in front of wheel. Set left-hand table
dog so table can not be further traversed to right.
9. Contact Grinding Wheel. Swivel attachment
to position shown in Figure 4, and tighten screw
'' B". Contact one cutter tooth with tooth rest blade
and tighten screw" A". Using tissue paper as a
"feeler" carefully~ adjust saddle hand wheel until
paper tears.
10. Grind Radius and Face. Do not move saddle
handwheel except to compensate for wheel wear.
Back off crank '' F" a few turns. Loosen screws
"A" and "B". Mount adjustable stop bracket on
machine table. Swivel attachment and adjust
crank "F" until wheel starts cutting. Grind 11
teeth. Rotate cutter 180°, readjust crank" F" and
grind all teeth. Continue until zero is reached.
Reset as in paragraph 9 to compensate for wheel
wear. Grind face and radius in one pass. When
doing this, swivel attachment until lines almost
match, and then back table out at same tin1e to
eliminate nick on periphery.
