GUIDELINES FOR DRESSING WITH SINGLE-DIAMOND TOOLS
The shaft of the tool must be inserted as far as possible into its support and firmly locked in place. The distance between the
diamond and the support should be as small as possible to prevent vibrations. The shaft distance/diameter ratio must not be
greater than 2 to 1.
To calculate the optimal frequency for dressing, establish the maximum number of pieces that can be obtained after each
diamond dressing operation and reduce it by 10%.
Avoid dry dressing, which can damage the diamond and the grinding wheel, which can generate temperatures of up to 1500
°C. Plenty of coolant must be used and directed at the area of contact between grinding wheel and diamond.
For rough dressing operations, increase the depth of cut per pass and the longitudinal speed of the diamond on the grinding
wheel (500-800 mm/min). For finishing decrease the depth of cut per pass and the feed to 100-300 mm/min.
The points of the diamonds must never be used beyond a certain limit. If the dressing face exceeds 1 mm 2 the efficiency of
the operation is significantly reduced.
To reduce diamond wear the tool must be at a 10-15° angle and rotated frequently to prevent the formation of flat faces. If
possible, the speed of the grinding wheel being dressed should be lower than the normal grinding speed.
