Wheel.Dressing
Depending on the type of grinding you do, the grinding
wheel may require periodic dressing.
There are several different types of wheel dressing
devices available on the market (see Accessories on
Page 25 for examples). Dressing restores the abrasive
quality of the wheel surface and brings the wheel edge
back to square.
Refer to the instructions that accompany your dressing
accessory for complete details on how to properly dress
the wheel.
To dress grinder wheel, do these steps:
1. Turn grinder ON.
2. Place wheel dresser on tool rest with dressing wheels
facing toward grinding wheel.
3. Slowly move dressing wheel toward grinding wheel
and maintain slight pressure until a clear, even grind-
ing surface appears across face of wheel.
4. Turn grinder OFF.
5. Adjust spark deflector and tool rest as shown on
Page 17.
Always adjust the tool rest and spark
deflector after dressing or replacing
the grinding wheel. Failure to do so
could lead to workpiece kickback and
injury.
