I am not a regular reader of this group, but have alway been impressed with the sophistication of the members and have a question that I am posting here.
I am wondering if anyone has had experience creating or modifying multi point diamond dressing tools. Either a source for diamonds and a technique for affixing them to the dresser tip, or maybe suggestions for cutting off a section of a pre existing dressing stick and affixing it to a different dressing stick.
In case it is of interest, my application is that I want to replace the large and inconsistent diamond bits on my Silvey Pro Sharp square chainsaw grinder dressing tools with diamonds more along the line of a Norton CDP 3128-HD dressing stick.
In spite of the $2000 price tag of the Silvey Pro Sharp, the diamonds that come with their dressing sticks are really awful looking- mostly about 3- 4 large bits that create grooves on the wheels. The dressers are mounted to the grinder for precision, so I can't simply use a hand dresser as I would on a normal shop grinder. In other words, I need to come up with a way to upgrade the Silvey dresser tips.
As a woodturner I am into VERY sharp tools (including chainsaw chains) , which require the right wheels and wheel dressing.
Thanks for any suggestions. Bill
