Dished grinding wheels

Hi Norman,

If you have a plain wheel, dish it in the lathe. Make a mandrel or similar device to hold the wheel, use low rpms and hss.
Protect the lathe and be safe of course.

I googled my other local stockist ie Cromwell tools for dished abrasive wheels and found a suitable 60 grit cup wheel which will go on my old Clarkson.

As  most of  my wheels are really ready to be replaced as they are - like me- probably past the expiry dates.

Worth a try?

You can also doit by hand in the grinder with a single point diamond dresser, all you need is some kind of rest and a steady hand.
You need to be more careful and have a good hand eye coordination.
Again if you are not comfortable doing something don't do it.

Fergus OMore:
Whilst I have a single point 'professional' thing to do 'funny shapes on grinding wheels, I have multi diamond thing which is probably better to do trimming wheels by hand

Yer pays yer money and yer takes yer choice.  I also use angle grinder disks but I'm really digressing

I don't have a diamond dresser but I must say I don't fancy the idea of reshaping an existing wheel. There's an awful lot of material to come off.
I will find the right wheel eventually.
