Use the proper sized Diamond. Mount the tools rigidly in the tool holder to reduce the vibration. Select the clamping length 'a'(Distance from diamond point to Fixture as short as possible to reduce the vibration. (Fig: 1)
Incline Tool 10° to 15° to radius of wheel in the direction of wheel rotation to avoid dulling of Diamond point.(Fig: 2)
Rotate the Diamond shank frequently by 90° to present new cutting edge. (Fig: 3)
Always apply plenty of coolant while dressing, because Diamonds are very highly sensitive and can be destroyed by excessive heat generation (Fig: 4)
For dry dressing do not apply the tool for a long continuous period. Allow the stone to cool naturally before using again. Do not cool the diamond by quenching.
The depth of cut per dressing pass should not exceed the range of 0.02 to 0.03 mm. (20 to 30 micron).
If possible, dress the wheel at a speed lower than normal grinding speed.
Diamond is sensitive to shock and impact. It may be fractured or broken by striking any hard substance such as the bed of a machine or concrete floor. (Fig: 5)
Protect and store the Diamond tool properly when not in use.
