POWERTEC 71003 Diamond Grinding Wheel Dresser, Silver Edition

A cheap and efficient way of tidying up my small bench grinding wheel. Not sure how long it will last, but for the price it’s done it’s first good job with little signs of wear. Hopefully this will last a good while longer yet.

I reluctantly purchased this tool because I really didn't think it would 1) work well and 2) last long. Well, I was wrong on both counts. Have 2 bench grinders, with three stone wheels between them. Working with aluminum on grinders is a mess, because lots of aluminum gets embedded in the wheel and doesn't come off even when hit with steel bar. To add to the aluminum mess, all three wheels (fine, medium and coarse) were worn unevenly. Round corners, groves in centers, etc. This little tool cleaned up and trued up all three wheels in a few minutes. Add to that the tool has enough life left to do all three wheels two or three times again. The trick to using this tool compared to the "pizza cutter" tools, is to not push hard. A nice light touch does the job. The wheel just wears down in a flash. There was stone dust all over the work bench after using this tool. I did push hard at one point using the edge of the tool, and the diamond grit wore off in about a 1/8 inch wide stripe half way down the face of the tool. Pushing hard got me nowhere. Light, easy pressure works best. Now the wheels are square. And 95% of the embedded aluminum is gone. Ground an old screwdriver square and true with the wheels and everything was smooth sailing. No grabbing, no bumping, just smooth grinding action. For half the price of a new wheel, this tool did a great job. Saved me buying new wheels all around. Nice tool. Great bang for the buck.

looks good hope it dresses my grinding wheel

Ahora tengo; unas piedras nuevas, Me encanto Una Maravilla en un minuto solamente

I ordered this one because it had a longer handle than other similar products. Cleaned up the surface of a new wheel nicely.
