Cluster and Dia-Pak Tools – Straight face dressing of hard/ coarse wheels:

• Tool should approach the wheel at a 15° angle and be rotated periodically to keep 3 diamonds in contact with the wheel at all times.
• Tools can also be used at a 90° to the wheel face.
• Multi-Point Cluster Tools should be rotated at frequent intervals.
• Infeed per pass should not exceed .0015" (.001" with Norton Ceramic SG and Targa wheels).
• Use coolant whenever possible.
• These tools permit a faster traverse rate providing a freer cutting wheel than when dressed by a conventional single-point tool.
• It is the user’s responsibility to refer to and comply with ANSI B7.1
