Dressing Sticks

Proper wheel conditioning is essential for maintaining free-cutting action, stable surface finishes, and longer wheel life when grinding with diamond or CBN wheels. Braemar USA Conditioning Sticks are engineered specifically to restore wheel performance by removing glazing, loading, and excess bond material from the wheel face.

Why Conditioning Matters

Over time, superabrasive wheels can become glazed or loaded. As a result, cutting efficiency drops while heat generation and chatter increase. By using the correct dressing (conditioning) stick, fresh abrasive points are exposed, allowing the wheel to cut freely again. Consequently, grinding stability and surface quality are restored.

Applications

These conditioning sticks are ideal for dressing resin-bond, metal-bond, and vitrified-bond diamond and CBN wheels used in:

• Optical grinding and polishing

• Ceramics and advanced composites

• Sapphire, quartz, and glass

• Carbide and tool grinding

• Precision CNC and manual grinding operations

Features

• Manufactured from high-quality aluminum oxide or silicon carbide, depending on the application

• Formulated for free-cutting behavior with minimal loading

• Available in multiple grits, bond grades, sizes, and shapes, including rectangular and square cross-sections

• Designed for controlled bond removal without damaging the wheel structure

Key Benefits

• Restores consistent wheel cutting performance

• Extends diamond and CBN wheel life

• Improves surface finish repeatability

• Reduces grinding heat and vibration

• Minimizes downtime for re-truing and re-conditioning

Sizing & Selection Guidance

For best results, select a conditioning stick slightly smaller than the wheel face or width. Additionally, match the grit and bond grade to your wheel and application:

• Coarser grits for heavy-duty or metal-bond wheels

• Finer grits for finishing wheels and precision applications

Usage Tips

Secure the wheel properly and run it at the recommended operating speed. Then, gently apply the conditioning stick across the wheel face in multiple light passes. Avoid excessive pressure. If coolant is used, maintain steady flow and clean debris from the wheel after dressing.
