Description
– A diamond grinding wheel repair tool, often called a diamond dresser, is a tool used to reshape and sharpen grinding wheels, restoring their cutting ability and extending their lifespan.
Key Features:
Diamond Tip:
The core component is a carefully selected and shaped diamond, either a single point or a cluster of smaller diamonds, bonded to a shank.
Shank:
The shank provides a handle for the operator and ensures the diamond tip is securely mounted and aligned.
Types:
Single-point dressers:
Feature a single, sharp diamond point for general-purpose dressing of various grinding wheels.
Multi-point dressers:
Utilize multiple diamond particles, often in a matrix, for more aggressive material removal and faster dressing.
Form dressers:
Designed with specific shapes to create intricate profiles on the grinding wheel for specialized applications.
Vitrified bond:
In some diamond grinding wheels, the diamond particles are held in place by a vitrified (glass-like) bond.
