Sharpening and dressing stones

• Restoring Cutting Ability – Removing chips and oils that accumulate on the wheel and dull the grinding action.
• Geometric Correction (Truing) – Straightening the wheel surface and restoring it to a balanced and precise state for vibration-free operation.

Types of Sharpening and Dressing Tools Available:

• Sharpening Sticks: Dedicated sticks for quick cleaning and grain opening in diamond and CBN wheels.
• Ceramic Dressing Wheels: For use in mechanical dressing devices to shape the wheel profile.
• Vitrified Sharpening Bricks: For renewing standard grinding wheels and maintaining the correct porosity level.

Advantages of Using Quality Sharpening Tools:

• Prevention of overheating of the workpiece due to an "open" and sharp wheel.
• Significantly extends the life of the grinding wheel.
• Immediate improvement in surface finish and dimensional accuracy.
• Prevents unnecessary loads on the machine motor.

Common Sizes and Types:

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

Information Required for Specification Selection:

• Type of grinding wheel (diamond, CBN, or conventional).
• Type of Bond (ceramic, resin, metallic).
• Preferred working method (manual or mechanical).
