MAINTENANCE
Dressing the Grinding Wheel
Note:
New wheels frequently are not
true and during operation will often
become grooved, glazed (build up),
out of round, or misshapen. You will
need a grinding wheel dresser for
this operation. Dressers are available
from Harbor Freight Tools.
Stand to the side of the wheel for this
1.
operation.
If the wheel is new let it run for a
2.
minute with no load. If the wheel
runs straight and true, you will not
need to dress it prior to operation. If
it does not, proceed with the following
instructions.
If you are using a “pistol grip” dresser,
3.
grip the handle firmly with one hand
and the arm of the dresser with the
other. Allow the wheel to reach full
speed. Use the tool rest to support
your hand and the dresser, and even-
ly apply the dresser to all surfaces of
the wheel. The wheel can be dressed
in a few minutes.
If you are using an “inline” dresser,
4.
hold the handle firmly, put the dresser
on the tool rest so that its wheels can
move freely (i.e., the exposed part of
the wheel should be facing up). Let
the wheel reach full speed and apply
the dresser evenly to all surfaces.
