Guidelines for dressing

► The dresser should be held as rigidly and as close to the point of dressing as possible. For machines equipped with work piece supports, the dresser should be made to rest against the support. This is to ensure vibration free operation. The diamond point of the dresser should be presented at an angle between 3° to 10° relative to the centre line of the wheel.

► To maintain the sharpness of the diamond point, the dresser should be rotated in the machine tool holder at an angle of 15° to 45°. Rotating the dresser before starting the machine for the day enhances the life of the tool as well provides consistent performance.

► Dressing should be carried out at normal speeds with copious amount of Metal working fluids.

► The dresser should not be quenched, if by accident it becomes overheated. It should be allowed to cool naturally.

Never use a worn-out diamond tool as it may jam into the grinding wheel and fracture or disintegrate.

► For best results, each machine should have its own dresser.
