Diamond Tools - form dressing tool tips
Question
What tips are there for using diamond form dressing tools?

Answer
  • Form Tools should be used in compliance with the guidelines established for the machine or dress.
  • Proper centerline and light infeeds are essential to minimize side pressure. Excessive pressure will cause the diamond to fracture.
  • Cone point tools should be rotated approximately 1/4 turn daily.
  • Chisel Point Tools should be rotated 180° when dulling or contour problems occur.
