Instruction Manual
Section Four
(a) Lower the Wheelhead so that the spindle shaft center is slightly above
the diamond point.
(b) Slant the axis of the nib at an angle of about 15 degrees from per
pendicular to the wheel to be dressed.
(c) Using the Crossfeed to advance the diamond to the wheel, traverse
the diamond across the face of the wheel, using the table handwheel,
with transmission in low ratio. Truing the wheel, a process that
makes the periphery run concentric to the spindle shaft, is accom
plished by taking cuts into the wheel of no more than .001 inch per
pass. Truing is usually confined to straight wheels on tool and cutter
grinders. Dressing passes are very light, with the table speed varied
depending on how "open" the operator wishes to leave the wheel,
(d) Dressing is a process of restoring the cutting sharpness of the wheel,
and, while it may employ the use of the diamond dresser on occasion,
this can also be accomplished with a 'dressing stick' or a mechanical
rotary truing device such as the K. 0. Lee abrasive wheel dresser.
When a dresser such as the El is tilted slightly to one side and allowed
to run against a rotating wheel, it will remove slight run-out quickly
and restore cutting sharpness by its cleaning action. The El can also
be used to form wheel edges and special shapes.
BA940
H Toothrests and Height Gauges:
1. The insets show the BA940 and B6040 Universal Toothrests set at typical
locations on tool and cutter grinders and on universal grinders. Note that
only the B6040 tooth rest used on tilting wheel head grinders can be placed
on the Wheelhead with blade from below the wheel, for purposes of grind
ing down at the point of contact with the cutter. Universal toothrests may
also be placed on the grinder table or workheads as shown in photos in
Section Five. This mechanism, with a spring-loaded rocker, is used to
"roll" a cutter about its mounting axis for clearance angle settings when
the rest is placed directly on cutter teeth. The short micrometer rigid
toothrest (B940H) Is used in the same manner where the cutter is moved
away from the rest when indexing to the next tooth. Consult Section Five,
Chapter I for discussion of toothrest positions.
2. The B827 and B6027 plain (MICROMETER) toothrests are placed on the
grinder table and usually used in conjunction with an index disc on a
