2. Loosen the four piece Securing Bolts (8-1) for the Angle Feed Piece(8) and position the Grinding
Feed Slide (9) for spindle grinding and insert Spindle Grinding Angle Setting Bar (34) into the
SPINDLE hole and firmly tighten the four Securing Bolts(8-1) for Angle Feed Piece (two on each
side).

3. After having withdrawn the Valve Spindle from the Exhaust Valve Cage, insert the Valve Spindle
vertically in the Grinding Machine. Then prepare the Grinding machine for operation.

4. Lift or lower the Feed Assembly and Cutting Feed Vertical Pipe (11) to select the suitable position.
Use the inserted 16mm stud underneath the post to adjust the height.

Ensure the Valve Spindle seat is in height with the Grinding Wheel (23). Secure the Lock Grip
(24) firmly.

Temporarily tighten the Lower Securing Chuck Centering Bolts (22-1) and Centering Chuck Bolts
(17-2) slightly by using the supplied Allen wrenches.

4. Set the Rotating Change-over Switch on the Control Panel (25) to position SPINDLE.

In order to achieve a perfect grinding result the rotation direction of Grinding Wheel and Spindle
or Bottom Piece should be opposite where the contact is made.

5. The Valve Spindle is rotated by moving the Switch for Rotation from STAND BY to RUN, and
adjusting the speed with the Speed Controller situated on the Control Panel Box.

6. Centering of the Valve Spindle is achieved as follows.

Tighten the Securing Chuck

Bolts (22-1) and fit a Dial Gauge
onto the Machine Bracket (15)
with
its feeler contacting the Valve
Stem below the Securing Chuck
(22). Position ①.

Adjust to zero by manipulating

the Securing Chuck Centering
Bolts (22-1, 3 pieces) on the
Securing Chuck (22).

GRINDING OF VALVE SPINDLE (2)

7. Secondly fit the Dial Gauge

magnet base onto the Angle
Feed Piece (8) with its feeler on
the upper portion of the Valve
Stem and adjust to zero by
manipulating the Centering
Chuck Bolts (17-2). Position ②.

Rotate the machine slowly and

adjust the centering as required.
Tightening the Centering Bolts at
the maximum plus side will give
a minus reading on the dial
gauge.

If it is too hard to tighten one

Centering Bolt, slightly loosen
the Centering Bolt on the
opposite side
and re-tighten accordingly.

8. The Valve Spindle is now basically centered, however in order to ensure a perfect centering, fit the
Dial Gauge onto the Angle Feed Piece (8) with its Feeler on the inner most part (2-4mm where the
seat surface is intact) of the Valve Spindle Seat. Position ③.

If the deviation does not exceed

0.3mm it can be rectified by slightly
loosening the Lower Securing
Chuck Centering Bolts (22-1),
adjusting the centering with the
four Centering Chuck Bolts (17-2)
and then retightening the Lower
Securing Chuck Centering Bolts
(22-1).

If the deviation exceeds 0.3 mm,

re-check the centering of Valve
Spindle at positions 1 and 2. When
Centering is found not to be “0” at
these points, re-adjust the
centering of Valve Spindle to “0”.
Then check with Dial Gauge at
position 3. If the deviation still
remains more than 0.3mm, the
Valve Spindle may be bent. Then
consult with the engine maker.

HOW TO VERIFY GRINDING ANGLE
UPON COMPLETION OF GRINDING

Using the Dial Gauge, fixed with its Magnetic Base to the Grinding Spindle (it may be convenient to
remove the Grinding Motor), and its Feeler running on the ground Seat, the ANGLE of the ground
seat can be verified.

Set the Dial Gauge to “0” when the Feeler is positioned at the outer end of the seat, manipulate the
Grinding Feed (6-1) manually until the Dial Gauge feeler is positioned towards the inner end of the
seat. Read off the deviation over a length=25 mm using a ruler or steel scale. Mark the starting and
finishing points, the distance of 25mm, with a pen on the seat surface.

Grinding Spindle

Grinding Feed

For the SPINDLE the angle deviation may not exceed + 0.1 degree and for the Bottom Piece
maximum – 0.1 degree. Using the below described formula, the deviation can be calculated.

Dial gauge reading Deviation

(on the seat width 25mm) degree
0.131 mm 0.3
0.087 mm 0.2
0.044 mm 0.1
0.022 mm 0.05

If the deviation exceeds the stated values, one or two final grinding cuts may be required to rectify the
angle of the ground seat.

20
 WAKEFIELD EXHAUST VALVE GRINDING MACHINE
TYPE‘SEG ’
HOW TO VERIFY TOTAL RUN-OUT &
SURFACE ROUGHNESS

TOTAL RUN-OUT

After completion of the grinding the TOTAL RUN-OUT can be checked by attaching the Magnet Base
to the Grinding Spindle with its feeler at the center of the seat width.

Rotate the SPINDLE or BOTTOM PIECE slowly one complete turn and read off the Dial Gauge. The
total deviation, between maximum and minimum, may not exceed 0.03 mm. Should the reading be
more it is recommended to carry out a few more grinding/polishing cuts to bring the deviation within
allowed values.

ROUGHNESS (Ra)

The surface ROUGHNESS (Ra) of the ground seat can be verified by touching the seat and
comparing with the surface on the Roughness Template (35) fitted to the Angle Feed Piece (8) on the
Grinding Machine. The roughness should not exceed Ra 0.8μm. If the surface is too rough further
polishing of the seat surface may be required.

21
 WAKEFIELD EXHAUST VALVE GRINDING MACHINE
TYPE‘SEG’
HOW TO VERIFY 30.0 DEGREE GRINDING ANGLE

After having used the machine for some time the tapered holes for BOTTOM PIECE and
SPINDLE Setting Bars may become worn or deformed, allowing the angles to change.

To verify that the Grinding Feed (6-1) follows a 30.0 degree line, fix a Dial Gauge Magnet
Base to the Grinding Spindle (14) when the Angle Setting Bar (34) is in the BOTTOM
PIECE position. The Feeler running on the Angle Indication Plate (33), when feeding the
Grinding Feed (6-1), should give a “0” reading from end to end on the Angle Indication
Plate (33).

If angle incorrect, the deviation should be corrected with the Angle Adjustment Device (32)
or the tapered holes for BOTTOM PIECE and SPINDLE re-reamed using a 10 mm
diameter tapered reamer. The holes to be reamed until deformation of the holes are
removed. If the holes become too big after reaming, the standard Taper Pin to be replaced
with an over-size Angle Setting Bar, e.g. 12 mm diameter Taper Pin.

22
 WAKEFIELD EXHAUST VALVE GRINDING MACHINE
TYPE‘SEG’
GRINDING ANGLE AJUSTMENT DEVICE

The Angle Feed consists of an Angle

Feed Piece (8) and a Grinding Feed
Slide (9), connected at center with two
Straight Dowel Pins one on each side.

This arrangement allows the Grinding

Feed Slide (9) to “swing” around the
Center position as much as the distance
between Grinding Feed Slide underside
and Angle Feed Piece (8) allows.

Independently, a Grinding Angle Adjustment Device (32) is installed.

The device consists of a free-Angle-type Clamping Bolt (32-1), Locknut (32-2), Angle Index Knob
(32-3) and Point Arrow (32-4).

When the Angle is set for Valve Spindle, there should be a distance between a
free-Angle-type Clamping Bolt (32-1) tip and a Grinding Feed Slide (9).

23
 WAKEFIELD EXHAUST VALVE GRINDING MACHINE
TYPE‘SEG’
GRINDING ANGLE RE-AJUSTMENT

When the 30 degree angle has been set in a new Grinding Machine,
the Grinding Angle Adjustment Device (32) is screwed into a
threaded hole in the Base until the hardened Free-Angle type
Clamping Bolt’s (32-1) surface contacts the underside of the Grinding
Feed Slide (9). The Angle Index Knob (32-3) is then set so that the 0
degree mark is in line with the Point Arrow (32-4) fitted to the Base.
The 0 degree mark corresponds with a 30 degree angle.
Then the Locknut (32-2) is firmly tightened.

The Knob is now secured and cannot be turned unless the Locknut is loosened.
The Locknut should remain secured with the Knob at 0 degree.

ANGLE ADJUSTMENT DEVICE

A Caution Plate stating this is fitted to the
The Lock Nut should remain secured with the Knob at 0 degree.
Angle Assembly side plate.
For adjustment see Instruction Manuals.

One division on the knob=0.1 degree

N.B. Changes of Grinding Angles should be made only after consultations with the Engine
Builder. If the angle needs to be changed,
1) Loosen the four bolts (8-1) securing the Grinding Feed Slide (9) to the Angle Feed Piece (8) and the
Angle Adjustment Device locknut (32-2).
2) Turning the knob (32-3) clockwise will increase the angle 0.1 degree for each notch. An
anticlockwise turn will decrease the angle 0.1 degree for each notch.
3) If angle for Valve Spindle grinding needs to be changed from e.g.31.0°to 30.4°the Tapered Angle
Setting Bar should be pulled out of hole SPINDLE, the Dial on Angle Adjustment set to plus+0.4(four
notches) and the Locknut(32-2) tightened.

DRESSING

dresser

Dressing of the Grinding Wheel is effected by using the supplied

Grinding Wheel Dresser (23-3).

1. Position the Dresser Assembly Bar (23-2) so that the

Diamond Dresser (23-3) is in line with the Grinding Wheel
(23). Position the Diamond Dresser to contact the Grinding
Wheel.

2. Start the Grinding Motor (18) and move the Grinding Wheel back and forth over the
Dresser by manipulating the Manual Grinding Feed (6-1).
Increase Dressing Feed by manually pushing the Dresser harder against the
Grinding Wheel (23).

3. It is important that the whole width of the Grinding Wheel is dressed off to the same
diameter.

MAINTENANCE

Feed shafts should be cleaned and greased after each use of the machine, using such
grease as Eneos Power knock WB2 (JIS-K-2220 1-2) or equivalent. It is sufficient to
apply approximately 3 grams of grease onto each feed shaft

Bare metal parts should be kept oiled or coated.

Check condition of Shock Absorbers.

Periodically check the electric motors and if the brushes are worn out, immediately replace
with new parts.

The electric motors are fabricated from a sturdy design, however if structural damage
occurs it is recommended that the complete motor be replaced, this being the most
economical remedy.

Electric Grinding Motors, in general, are not to be continuously run for more than 30
minutes at a time.

The lifetime of the electric motors is expected to be at least 1000 running hours as long as
the motors are operated properly, avoiding over-load and over-heat.

Adjust the tension of the Timing Belts as required.
