There have been a couple times where I encountered warping during grinding. It's always with a coarse belt (24 or 36 grit), by the way.
Using a strong magnet to hold the blade will induce a warp. Trying to remove large amounts of material using a wheel also induces a warp. I haven't figured out in what way each will affect the warping exactly, I just know to be careful when going those routes.
Anyone else ever encounter such issues? What's the culprit here - heat? Are there tons of stresses taking place with heavy grinding?
