3. Blade Dressing:
Like most cutting instruments, a diamond blade performs best when it is dressed. Over time and use,
diamonds on the outer edge will become smooth 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
152792) and by following the steps below.
DON'T FORCE TOOL, it will do the job better and safer at the rate for which it was designed.
