What is the maximum allowable gap between the grinding wheel and the work rest on a pedestal grinder?

1/16 inch
1/8 inch
1/4 inch
1/2 inch

The correct answer is: 1/8 inch

The maximum allowable gap between the grinding wheel and the work rest on a pedestal grinder is 1/8 inch. Maintaining this gap is crucial for safety and effective grinding operations. A smaller gap helps to minimize the chance of the workpiece or the operator's hands coming into contact with the grinding wheel, which can lead to serious injuries. Additionally, a properly adjusted work rest provides better support for the workpiece, allowing for greater control and precision during the grinding process, improving the overall quality of the finished product. Allowing a larger gap could increase the risk of kickback or loss of control, making 1/8 inch the standard in the industry.
