    This guy and the old man from Surburban tool have both made some of the most informative videos i have seen on UA-cam. I disagree with them at times but their videos are a huge step above most videos on grinding. TY

    We used a Norton Norbide stick back in my days at Talon as a tool and die maker to feather the wheel. Gave a nice cross cut. I remember dressing wheels down below a 0.100 thousandths and dropping slots in punches and holding .0001 tolerances. Mostly Zipper die tooling. Uses a Parker grinder. You did have to watch the fingers and be pretty confident on a surface grinder.

      I spent most of my working career in deep drawn stamping. Work on a lot of press tooling in those days. Before hard turning we did a lot of profile grinding.

    Since that edge is so fine, how quickly does it wear? We depend on the thickness of the wheel when normally grinding to make up for the wear on the front edge. There doesn’t seem to be anything to compensate for that wear when side grinding, something I’ve rarely done.

  • @TheZakkmylde
    @TheZakkmylde 11 місяців тому +1

    The diamond stone for dressing the wheel should it not be on a slight angle like maybe 15° so you can rotate it all the time to keep a clean edge. Otherwise won’t the diamond develop a flat spot?

    • @SolidRockMachineShopInc
      @SolidRockMachineShopInc  11 місяців тому

      If it is a single point diamond then yes. If it is a cluster diamond then no.

      @@SolidRockMachineShopInc oh ok. Hmmm. I’m not sure what I have then. I assume if you look at it if it looks like it’s fragmented pieces together then I won’t have to rotate it but if it looks like it’s one piece, then put it on an angle.?

    • @SolidRockMachineShopInc
      @SolidRockMachineShopInc  11 місяців тому +1

      A single point diamond has only one diamond in it but a cluster diamond has many diamond in it. Mine usually have seven smaller separate diamonds. What you are describing sounds like a "grit dresser" which is used for CBN wheels. It has many very small diamonds embedded in a metallic base which looks like a single unit. @@TheZakkmylde

    why is it only grinding on the left side of the wheel? x axis out of square with z axis?

    • @SolidRockMachineShopInc

    Could you traverse the side of the wheel with the diamond using the z (vertical) axis instead of the x (horizontal) axis?

    • @SolidRockMachineShopInc
      @SolidRockMachineShopInc  Рік тому +1

      You could but it would take a lot longer because of the fine feed of the Z axis.
