CNCorbust,
Dressing a resin bond diamond cup wheel.
The correct way is with a Brake controlled truing device (ie:Norton) with a silicon carbide stone. Unfortunately these are about $500 new. The stone rotates at a fixed rpm and grinds the bond out from around the diamonds.
You can dress a diamond wheel with a piece of soft steel using it as you would a dressing diamond. Its slow but it works. Basically you're wearing the wheel down because the diamond doesn't like grinding soft steel. If you use this method you'll want to have a wheel stick to clean out the bond afterwards.
You can true up a front face using a piece of 80/120 grit wet sandpaper on a flat surface basically hand lapping the wheel as above.
