Huntington Grinding Wheel Dressers

Huntington-type grinding wheel dressers consist of star cutters made of heat treated carbon steel. These cutters spin when applied against a moving grinding wheel to re-true and clean its surface. Huntington Dressers are the only tool which will restore a grinding wheel to its original condition (abrasive sticks and diamonds will re-true a wheel but will either clog or partially destroy a grinding wheel's original surface grain structure). When properly used, a Huntington Dresser will extend the life and dramatically increase the efficiency of a grinding wheel.

• How to use a Huntington Wheel Dresser

• Always protect your eyes when using this product. ANSI certified goggles are recommended for use when dressing a grinding wheel. We also suggest that a particle mask be worn to prevent the inhalation of dust released during the dressing operation.
• Always dress your wheel ABOVE the center of the wheel. Failure to do this will result in the cutters digging into the grinding wheel.
• Never wedge the feet of the dresser handle behind the tool rest in order to gain leverage. Rest the feet of the dresser handle on top of the tool rest and gently move the tool back and forth. Let the dresser do the work.
• Dress your wheel often. Don't wait for your grinding wheel to become lop-sided before you dress it. When your grinding wheel begins to grind your material less efficiently, stop grinding for a moment and give your wheel a light dress. For the extra time it takes to do this, you will gain much more time and grinding wheel life in the long run.
• Always use the proper dresser for the size of the grinding wheel you are dressing.
