Hey Harold,

I kinda missed where this thread was going. Are you advocating use of
a stick for touch-up after truing with the diamond on my surface
grinder and on my Black Diamond drill sharpener?

You know, I've got some dressing sticks I picked up with wheel stones
at auctions. At least one white and a few black, but never used any
of them. Sounds like I should learn. Does the stick "colour" mean
anything we should know about, say relative to colour of the wheels?

Take care.

Diamond dressed wheels cut very hot as compared to those dressed

yes, I've noticed that. but, having only a diamond dresser (all I
could get would you believe) I'll not give it up. out of true
grinding wheels give me the absolute heebies

And there's no need to. Using the diamond to get a wheel running true is
the best of all worlds. The trick to getting the wheel to cut freely is
then to touch it with the dressing stick, which roughens the surface every
so slightly, making it cut much better. For a few bucks you can see for
yourself. I promise you you won't be disappointed.
