Wheel Dressing Procedure

Wheel Dressing Procedure

Dress the wheel only when the amperage on the grinding station rises, or the edge quality shows chips /burns, or the ground glass is oversized.

Turn off the coolant.

Use an aluminum oxide abrasive stick with the same thickness as that of the glass ground. The grit size should be the same or one level finer than that of the diamond wheel. Soak the aluminum oxide stick in water.

Feed this wet stick in the same horizontal plane as the glass, and directly into the center of the groove. Use approximately 2" of the stick.

Turn the coolant on. Run a piece of glass and check edge finish and amperage reading.

If edge finish not satisfactory, repeat the above steps until edge finish improves.
