James, the dressing has been well covered, they other advice i'd add is toss out those awful grey wheels that come with it. They cut very slowly and clog quickly. A nice pink wheel will do you well - while they wear quickly they also cut quickly.
years ago as a newbie i built this multidirectional adjustable set of rests/tables for my bench grinder because the ones that come with it are mickey mouse. ten years later those fancy rest are never touched, grinding is done by hand, but they are just the thing to provide an edge and surface for wheel dressing! basically I made a holder for the diamond with an adjusting screw that will slide across the table and against edge. |
