Single point "bruted diamond"
dressers are made with selected
"Congo Rounds" mounted in a
matrix.
A Single cutting edge is
presented to the grinding wheel.
Diamonds for single point
dressers are selected in
accordance with quality and
size. The question of using a
superior, average or commercial
quality, depends on the grinding
finish required and the machines
and working parameters.
We offer three grades namely A,
B & C for all the diamond size,
Availability: 0.25 Ct to 5.00 Ct
Natural Point Diamonds: The
Diamond points are naturally
formed. (Not man made like
grades
A, B, & C) This is a gift of
nature. Natural Point Diamond
Dressers have high form
retention properties.
Availability: 0.10 Ct to 2.50 Ct
Guideline for single-point
diamond dressers :
Considerable care should be
taken in mounting the diamond
dresser in position. Diamonds
are sensitive to shock and
impact.
The dresser must be clamped
rigidly in place to avoid
vibration once dressing begins.
An ample supply of coolant
should be directed at the
diamond point before dressing
begins, as the sudden
application of coolant to the
diamond once it has heated up
can cause it to shatter.
The diamond holder should not be
set directly on the center of
the grinding wheel, but at an
angle of
5-15 to the direction of
rotation of the wheel so that it
appears to be "trailing"
At normal wheel peripheral
speeds, dressing rates of
approximately 20-25 m/sec can be
achieved.
The maximum depth of cut
achieved per dressing pass is
0.03 mm or on fine grit wheels,
approximately 0.005-0.01 mm.
The cross feed rate is dependent
upon grit size and can have a
marked influence on the quality
of the finish imparted to the
grinding wheel surface. The
lower the feed rate, the finer
the surface finish.
We would recommend the following
feed rates per revolution of the
grinding wheel.
