DRESSING THE WHEEL
NOTE: See “Trouble Shooting Guide” for tips on properly dressing the wheel.
As the wheel is used, particles break away from the face of the wheel. This requires that the wheel face
be dressed. The process of dressing the grinding wheel face returns its condition to a smooth and flat
surface for the best possible finish on the face of the valve.
NOTE:
A new wheel (or re-installed one which has been off the machine) must be dressed prior to use.
WARNING: Never dress the wheel without first covering the chuck.
1. Turn the main switch to the OFF (center) position.
2. Loosen the lock arm and swing the diamond toward the left.
3. Using the traverse handle, locate the grinding wheel so that the diamond point just contacts the
center of the face and lock in place.
4. Position the wheel to the left of the diamond.
5. Depress the right side of the main switch turning on the spindle and coolant pump.
NOTE: Coolant must always be directed onto the diamond when dressing.
6. Using a very slow uniform motion, move the grinding wheel across the diamond.
NOTE: Primary cut must always be into the point of the diamond.
7. Return the wheel to the left and adjust the diamond about 1/8 turn clockwise.
8. Make an additional, very slow pass with the wheel (left to right, right to left) and turn the spindle
motor off.
