Hi!
IIRC, it was Tom Gardner who had an exploding grinding-wheel (or better one of his workers). I told him, that at SIEMENS they let run the wheels for
1/2 an hour or one before using them.By chance, I got an old book about tool sharpening (from a no-more-existing GDR publisher) that is giving times. Here they are:
Clamped (most are): ... 100 mm : 1 minute (don't ask be about the gap)
160 ... 315 mm : 3 mins 315 ... mm : 5 minsglued: ... 20 mm : 1 min 20 ... 160 mm : 3 mins
160 ... 315 mm : 5 mins 315 ... mm : 10 minsMagnesium-bonded: above 1000 mm : 60 mins
segmented: all : 5 mins
HTH, Nick
