DRESSING A GRINDING WHEEL
When dressing a grinding wheel, use a suitable silicone
carbide stick type dresser or the wheel dresser wrench
provided with the grinder, as shown in Fig. 19. Bring the
dresser forward on the tool rest until it just touches the
high point on the face of the wheel and dress the wheel
by moving the dresser back and forth. Repeat this
operation until the face of the grinding wheel is clean
and the corners of the wheels are square.
