Gleason Style Dressers

Braemar USA Gleason-Style Diamond Dressers are precision single-point diamond tools manufactured for compatible Gleason Curvic gear-grinding equipment. Their accurately positioned diamond points restore grinding-wheel geometry, expose fresh abrasive grains, and support consistent form accuracy in demanding gear-production applications.
Grinding-wheel condition directly affects tooth geometry, surface finish, and dimensional repeatability. Therefore, Braemar USA offers Gleason-style dressers in multiple diamond sizes and quality grades to match different production requirements.

Precision Dressing for Curvic Gear Grinding

Curvic coupling and gear-grinding operations require accurately dressed wheels to maintain the specified tooth form. Even minor variations in wheel geometry can affect contact patterns, tooth spacing, surface finish, and finished-part accuracy.
Gleason-Style Diamond Dressers remove loaded bond material and dull abrasive grains while restoring the wheel’s required profile and cutting condition. As a result, the grinding wheel cuts more efficiently and delivers repeatable performance throughout the production cycle.

Benefits of Gleason-Style Diamond Dressers

• Exposes fresh abrasive grains for efficient cutting
• Helps reduce wheel loading, heat, vibration, and chatter
• Available in two diamond sizes
• Offered in A-grade and AA-grade diamond
• Custom configurations available for specialized equipment

Gear-Grinding Applications

Braemar USA Gleason-Style Diamond Dressers are suitable for:
• Curvic coupling grinding
• Precision gear-form grinding
• Grinding-wheel truing and conditioning
• Wheel-profile restoration
• Bevel gear manufacturing
• Aerospace drive-system components
• Automotive and industrial gear production
• Precision machine-tool components
• High-volume production grinding
• Tool-room wheel maintenance
These dressers are primarily intended for conventional abrasive grinding wheels. Compatibility depends on the machine model, dresser holder, wheel abrasive, bond, grit size, and required profile.

Standard Gleason-Style Dresser Specifications

Braemar USA standard Gleason-Style Diamond Dressers feature:
• Shank diameter: 0.187 inch
• Overall length: 0.625 inch
• Head dimensions: 0.312 × 0.350 inch
• Diamond sizes: 0.50 and 0.75 carat
• Diamond grades: A and AA
Available configurations include:
Diamond Size Diamond Grade
0.50 carat A-grade
0.75 carat A-grade
0.50 carat AA-grade
