was wondering if plastic may clog the grinding wheel?
confusing stuff. look into in the search engines. that can help!
Some grinding wheels are made of plastic By 6th grade, you should have learned that plastic is not a material, it is a group of materials that range from gooey/sticky liquids to brittle high strength solids. That means asking questions about plastics will result in vague generalities. Plastics are ground up and recycled all the time. The grinding process is not like a grinding wheel, it is more like a garbage disposal or a saw blade. Thermoplastic plastics, those that soften with heat, will definitely clog a grinding wheel. Thermoset plastics like epoxy might be ok to grind, but even some of them will be too soft. Most commercial plastics are thermoplastics.
