  • Grinder safety rest with special shape adjustment apparatus
    Patent number: 9114502
    Abstract: An adjustable safety rest for grinding wheel includes a notch in one of a base edge defining side walls and an inner wall conformable in a spaced relationship around outer side edges and the outer edge of a grinding wheel. A wheel edge gap conformable member or special shape member is mounted in a base fixed to the grinder and is axially adjustable in position to maintain a first end of member in a fixed spaced dimensional relationship relative to one portion of the outer surface of the grinding wheel as the grinding wheel undergoes wear. The member may be disposed in a recess in the base at a 45° degree angle intersecting at least one inner corner of the notch in the base. The member may also be centrally mounted on the base to intersect only the inner wall of the base.
