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.

1.Stand to the side of the wheel for this operation.

2.If the wheel is new let it run for a 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.

3.If you are using a “pistol grip” dresser, 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 evenly apply the dresser to all surfaces of the wheel. The wheel can be dressed in a few minutes.

4.If you are using an “inline” dresser, 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.
