Blade Dressing - MK Diamond Products MK-100 JCS Owner's Manual & Operating Instructions

MAINTENANCE AND TROUBLESHOOTING

1. Blade Dressing:

Like most cutting instruments, a diamond blade performs best when it is dressed. Over time and use,
diamonds on the outer edge of the blade will become smoothed or "glazed" over. This will reduce grinding
efficiency and may cause the blade to "wander" or bend giving the illusion of an alignment problem. When
this occurs, the blade will need to be dressed. The diamond blade can be dressed using the MK Dressing
Stick (part number 152972) and by following the steps below.
