the wheel by take-down flange is uneconomical. We advise contact
with manufacturer of wheel flange, special order wheel flanges
according your condition.
5.6. WHEEL DRESSING & CORRECT USE OF WHEEL
DRESSER
1) The dresser can be fixed on the magnetic chuck or the table, inclination
between axis of diamond tool and vertical axis of the wheel is 5°, because
the wore part of diamond must be toward rotate direction of the wheel, so as
to the diamond keep sharp.
2) To change dressing speed of the wheel, can exchange grit size of the
wheel. If grinding 0.1-0.2mm thickness, rough grinding is well, that crosswise
moving speed of the wheel head increase, the diamond tool passes by the
wheel fast, so as the wheel can be chipped bigger, if fine grinding, crosswise
moving speed of the wheel head would be slower, dress 2-3 times, feeding
0.01mm per times.
3) The diamond is easy to break, even to be hit lightly, because it is brittle
and hard.
4) When dressing, the diamond tool should dress from middle of the wheel,
because the both side of the wheel wear more, if dressing from both side of
wheel, there would be heavy press to result the wheel break accident.
5) When the diamond has wore, should be rollback, the diamond would
keep sharp, and could be continuously used.
6) If the wheel is not dressed, even the wheel get the great quality which
can not do the high precision on the workpiece. So for the higher grinding
performance, the wheel dressing is very necessary. The operators must
