I’ve noticed that wheel dressing has a bigger impact on grinding performance than many people realize. A freshly dressed wheel cuts cooler, maintains profile accuracy, and usually produces a more consistent finish, while a loaded wheel can quickly lead to burn marks and poor surface quality.
I came across this guide on diamond dresser designs, which explains the different types and where each is typically used.
Do you dress your wheels on a fixed schedule, monitor spindle load, or simply go by changes in surface finish?
