Introduction

Deterioration of the grindstone is one of the most common issues with the Landis Universal Cylindrical Grinder. Because these machines are so old, there is little maintenance or repair documentation available. This guide will show you how to replace the grindstone on the machine and avoid the costs of hiring an on-site specialist.

    • Carefully remove the grindstone itself from the spindle, making sure to support it from the top and inner ring.

    • Mind your fingers! The grindstone is quite heavy and can cause injury if it is mishandled or dropped.
