4. 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 152792) and by following the
steps below.
