example: Deckel, Kuhlmann, Gordon, Alexander,
Meteor, Sakazaki, Spinner, etc.
One of the ways this is
done is to take some
silicon carbide 100 grit
abrasive and, on a flat
surface or lapping plate,
do some figure eight
strokes. After two or
three strokes, index the
diamond wheel one sixth of a turn.
This keeps the wheel square with its
centerline.
Squaring and trueing can also be done
with a DIT Moly Stick. Mount the DIT
Moly Stick (3/8 x 3) into the tool
compound. First, before using it, expose
the diamond mesh with a Type A dressing
stick. The diamond mesh must be exposed
in order for the Moly Stick to pull out the
high diamonds
and true the face.
Soak the Type A (aluminum oxide)
dressing stick in water to saturate it.
A saturated stick has better action in
removing the bond. Plunge the stick
straight into the face of the wheel. Then
at the rate of .001, true the face of the
diamond wheel with the Moly Stick.
Depending on how much needs to be re-
moved to square up the face, it may be
necessary to erode more bond to expose
more diamond. For the Moly Stick to pull
out and true the face, the diamond mesh
must be exposed. After the face is true,
dress open the wheel once again so it
can grind cool and fast.
