Sharpening and dressing stones

• Restoring cutting ability – removes chips and grease that accumulate on the wheel and dull the grinding action.
• Geometric correction (Truing) – straightens the wheel face and returns it to a balanced, accurate condition for vibration-free work.

Available types of sharpening and dressing tools:

• Sharpening Sticks: Dedicated sticks for quick cleaning and opening the grit of diamond and CBN wheels.
• Ceramic dressing wheels: For use in mechanical dressing fixtures to shape the wheel profile.
• Vitrified dressing blocks: For restoring standard grinding wheels and maintaining the correct porosity level.

Advantages of using quality dressing tools:

• Prevents overheating of the workpiece thanks to an "open" and sharp wheel.
• Significantly extends grinding wheel life.
• Immediate improvement in surface finish (Finish) and dimensional accuracy.
• Prevents unnecessary load on the machine motor.

Common sizes and types:

* It is important to match the grit of the dressing stone to the type of wheel being treated to achieve optimal results without excessive wear.

Information required to select the specification:

• Grinding wheel type (diamond, CBN, or conventional).
• Bond type (ceramic, resin, metallic).
• Preferred working method (manual or mechanical).
