A:
- Rigidly mount Single Point tools at a 10° - 15° angle to the wheel centerline with a line drawn through the center of the wheel, pointing in the direction of wheel travel.
- Point of contact should be slightly below centerline of wheel.
- Use coolant whenever possible.
- Normal infeed is .001" per pass.
- Lead values range from .002" - .010" per wheel revolution.
- Rotate the tool 1/4 turn periodically to maintain a sharp point.
To optimize applications using SG (ceramic) abrasives and/or tools, normal dressing parameters must change. Reduce infeed by 25%. Significant reductions in the amount of infeed and frequency of dress will result in substantially lower cost per part ground.
