Quick-Adjustable Eccentric Head. Adjustable while the machine tool spindle is turning. Fine adjust dial in .0001" graduations. One full turn equals .010" stodk removal on hole diameter. (5 turns, .050" maximum). Coarse adjust dial in .010 graduations. One full turn equals .050" stock removal on hole diameter (3/4" maximum off-center adjustment).

Eccentric Extension Attachments. A set of three sizes is included in the kit. They extend the amount of off_center adjustment of the Quick-Adjustable Eccentric head by .75", 1.5", or 2.25". Maximum hole diameters that can be ground are as follows. 20,000 and 30,000 series motors with a maximum 3" diameter wheel - 9"; the 10,000 series motor with a maximum .5" diameter wheel - 6.5" ; the 5,000 series motor with a maximum .25" diameter wheel - 6.25".
Save time and wheel expense by grinding with the proper sfpm. Maximum metal removal with minimum wheel wear is the direct result of grinding at the proper sfpm. 5000 sfpm is recommended for abrasive wheels, 3000 sfpm for diamond wheels, and 1000 sfpm for carbide burrs. These speeds are readily attainable with a Vulcanaire. Five interchangeable air motors are available. va_sfpm.gif (48846 bytes)
