How to Connect a Rod and Cap Grinder
A grinder is a machine shop tool that is used, as the name suggests, to grind down metal parts and pieces. Grinders come in a variety of different shapes and sizes. One type of grinder is the rod and cap grinder. Rod and cap grinders are specifically designed for grinding down engine rods and caps. Occasionally these parts may need to be ground down, especially when they are being refurbished for use in an engine rebuild. Mounting and connecting the rod and cap grinder takes about 15 minutes.
