Full Ball Diamond Dresser

A Full Ball Diamond Dresser is a type of diamond dressing tool used to plunge a particular concave radius into an abrasive wheel.

1. Structure & Design

• Ball-shaped diamond tip: The diamond is mounted in a full spherical (ball) shape, giving a point contact with the grinding wheel.

• Shank: Usually made on a 0.375″ x 2.000″ steel shank that allows it to be mounted on a grinding machines tool holder.

2. Applications

• Dressing grinding wheels: The ball shape allows the dresser to dress concave or contoured surfaces on the grinding wheel.

• Wheel profiling: Ideal for creating precise shapes on the wheel, especially for wheels with complex geometries.

• Maintenance: Removes loaded or clogged material from the wheel, restoring its cutting efficiency.

3. Advantages

• Precision: The spherical tip gives controlled contact, making it excellent for fine or intricate profiles.

• Time Savings: Can quickly dress a required radius in a conventional abrasive wheel.

• Longevity: Diamond tips last a long time and can handle high wear operations.

4. Typical Materials Dressed

• Conventional grinding wheels (aluminum oxide, silicon carbide or ceramic)

5. Usage Notes

• Speed: Operate at the recommended RPM for the grinding wheel and the dresser.

• Feed: Use a slow, steady feed to avoid chipping the diamond or wheel.

• Cooling: Some operations require coolant to reduce heat and prolong tool life.
