Answer to Problem 1ST

The pedestal grinders mostly used in a machine shop to sharpen the various types of machine or cutting tools such as the high speed steel cutting tools, tool bits, chisels, drills and etc.

Explanation of Solution

The removal of the material with the help of cutting action of a revolving grinding wheel which has countless sharp and hard abrasive material is done by the process is termed as grinding.

The high speed steel cutting tools are used in the milling machine and lathe machine. It also used in debur type machine or to remove imperfect surface. To sharpen the high speed steel cutting tools, mostly pedestal grinders are used.

It also used for sharpening tool bits, chisels, drills and some other small tools of machine shop.

Conclusion:

Hence, to sharpen the various types of machine or cutting tools pedestal grinders mostly used in a machine shop.
