<strong>Collapsible</strong> <strong>Core</strong><br />
Grinding Instructions – Center Pin, D-6 Steel<br />
General direcTions<br />
D6 Steel is a high carbon, high chrome steel, hardened to over 60 Rockwell on the C scale. At all times grinding must be done under a coolant<br />
flood, using a coolant suitable for hardened tool steels.<br />
IMPORTANT: Lack of sufficient cooling, heavy cuts, rapid plunging or in-feeding, will result in overheating and a loss of hardness, or heat<br />
checking and cracking.<br />
The center pin has been ground on its own centers. The <strong>Collapsible</strong> <strong>Core</strong> has been ground true to the centers of the pin supplied with the unit.<br />
For set-up, refer to Grinding Recommendations – <strong>Collapsible</strong> <strong>Core</strong>.<br />
Step 1<br />
Wire EDM cut-off is preferred. Cutting off the center pin can also be done with a resin cut-off wheel, in a universal grinder with the center pin<br />
rotating and heavy flood coolant. Use coolant suitable for hardened tool steels.<br />
• When cutting off the tapered end: the flange is chucked and the long straight diameter beyond the flange is held in a steady rest, as close to<br />
the taper as possible. Indicate true before cutting off. Leave .025-.035 stock for final facing. Flood coolant must be used.<br />
• When cutting off the flange end: the center pin can be chucked on the long straight diameter beyond the flange. Indicate true before cutting<br />
off. Leave .025-.035 stock for final facing. Flood coolant must be used.<br />
Step 2<br />
Final facing of the center pin is done with an abrasive wheel in a universal grinder with the pin rotating, holding the pin in the same manner as<br />
when cutting off (see A and B, Grinding Recommendations). Flood coolant, suitable for hardened tool steels, must be used along with a slow<br />
feed. The wheel must be of soft grades (60-J, 46-J, etc.) and must be used with a sharp cutting land (important). See Fig. 1-5 at right. Surface<br />
grinding the O.A.L. is also acceptable under flood coolant.<br />
