We step out of the Tech Lab for today's Tech Lab Tuesday video. We're talking about Grinding Wheel Slotting. Goodson Production Manager, Jon Kukowski, shows how the process is done while Dave Monyhan describes the steps and the reasons for having wheels slotted.
For more information about having your grinding wheels slotted, contact Goodson at 1-800-533-8010 today.
In this Tech Lab Tuesday video, Dave Monyhan explains the differences between Core Drills, Core Reamers and regular Valve Guide Reamers. As the industry has changed so have these important tools. Dave gives a recap of the how and why of these changes.
Hang on through the end and you'll get to see a blooper.
This week's episode of our Video Series, Tech Lab Tuesday, continues on last week's theme with a look at Chemical Crack Detection.
When you're inspecting an aluminum head or block, you can't turn to magnetic particle inspection so one of your alternatives is to use chemicals. In this video, Dave Monyhan explains the how and why of using them.

This is the final installment of the Flywheel Grinder series. Today in Tech Lab Tuesday, Dave moves into the high performance world by showing how to grind floaters. He shares tips and techniques learned from industry great, Tim Hyatt.
Weather can cause shipping delays. While your area may not currently be impacted by inclement weather, other areas of the country may be. This weather can affect package shipments as they travel throughout the shipping networks.

In today's episode of Tech Lab Tuesday Dave takes us to the flywheel grinder again. Having performed routine maintenance he's ready to go.

Flywheel Grinder Maintenance Tips
In this week's episode of Tech Lab Tuesday, Dave Monyhan (retired) dons his "Mr. Maintenance" hat to talk about maintaining your Flywheel Grinder.
Goodson offers a lot of Flywheel Grinding Stones (50 of them at last count). So how do you choose which one to use? In this week's episode of Tech Lab Tuesday, Dave Monyhan (retired) explains the reasons behind the variety.
I sent a letter a couple of months ago, that stated in the event we could not supply a replacement diamond for your Hyper Finish Diamond Valve Guide Hone, that we would send you a complete mandrel for the same cost as the Diamond Abrasive. As you know we improved the manufacturing design of the Hyper Finish Diamond Sizing System and now call it the “Black Diamond” Sizing System.
At first I could not get the diamond abrasive to fully interchange with the newly designed and manufactured Black Diamond Series. Well, now the GREAT NEWS is that we have completed the diamond manufacturing and can confirm that we have diamond abrasive on the shelf and can service your existing diamond mandrels with replacement Diamond Abrasive in the event you do finally wear out the diamond abrasive.
Just call or email directly to Goodson and order your replacement diamond. (See chart.)
CNC electroplated diamond abrasive for the New Black Diamond Valve Guide Sizing System. Note, the new abrasive will fit old-style mandrels.
These Replacement Diamond Abrasives are sized to fit the HYPER-FINISH Valve Guide Sizing System
