Dressing of flute wheel

“Dressing” primarily means to clean the surface of the diamond wheel and exposing the

diamond grits

• The dressing is usually done by using a soft dressing stick with fine grits

• It is done by pushing the dressing stick firmly into the diamond wheel, few times, until the

wheel sinks into the stick

• Recommended dressing stick:

– Aluminum Oxide (White)

– Grit size, 240-320 mesh

– Hardness G or H

• Dressing should be done right after the truing and in any time that the wheel is clogged

and generating more load

• During the dressing process the diamond wheel should rotate in the same direction and

speed as it is normally used
