DiamonD BlaDe CHanGe oUT
Like most cutting instruments, a diamond blade performs best when it is dressed. Over time and use,
diamonds on the outer edge of the blade will become smoothed or "glazed" over. This will reduce
grinding efficiency and may cause the blade to "wander" or bend giving the illusion of an alignment
problem. When this occurs, the blade will need to be dressed. The diamond blade can be dressed
using the MK Dressing Stick (part number 152972) and by following the steps below.
