Single-point diamond dressers

How to determine the carat size?

The carat is the mass unit, which determines the size of the diamond.
1 carat = 2 dgr. The carat size of the diamond to be used for dressing grinding stones is determined by the sum of the «guide numbers» corresponding to each specification of the grinding stone. These values guarantee an excellent performance.

Why and  how to diamond a grinding stone?

The dressing operation «opens» the stone by eliminating the used grits and by removing the incrusted metallic particles.
It also enables to give the desired profile and maintain the concentricity of the stone. A double angle of inclination will be given to the dresser, which will be fixed as close as possible to the stone.

The dressing operation of the stone is carried out as follows:
* abundant watering is required
* at normal running speed of the stone
* by successive passes of no more than 0,025 mm.
* The translation motion must be uniform, smooth and always in the same direction across the side to be dressed. A fast translation motion will increase the cutting capacity of the stone.
* the translation speed of the diamond will influence the state of surface of the workpiece.
