economical truing/shaping brake to square up my wheel?

I recently bought a Boyar Schultz 6x12 Surface Grinder. I purchased a new Diamond grinding wheel 7"x 1.25" x 1/8" Type 1A1. While grinding a 2" diameter face I noticed that one location of the grind is always lower than the rest of the surface. This appears on the back edge on the last pass. I rotated my Vblock and piece 90* and had the same problem. I assume this is due to the fact that the wheel is not square and the wheel could be at a slight angle on the edge and not make contact.

Where can I find a economical truing/shaping brake to square up my wheel?

Can anyone explain the proper use/operation of a brake controlled trueing device?

Thanks, Mill

I tried that technique. At 0.01 of a cut I was stalling out my single phase motor. I tried less of a cut and it worked a little better but not where I need it yet.

Could I run my diamond blade over an old carbide wheel locked into the chuck? Or make some jig where It could spin?

Or would the small diamond I have for dressing up carbide wheels work too?
