I have to put a 3/4 convex radius on the side of a side milling

dresser and I theoretically know how to get these radiuses on the
grinding wheels.

I have somehow worked in 12 machine shops and never even seen one of
these being used. I'd thought I'd ask here before spending alot of
time learning the hard way. I'm having way too much of that kind of
learning lately.

You do NOT do this by dressing a grinding wheel, you do it by using a radius
attachment on a tool & cutter grinder. Those are very spendy accessories.
Suggest you farm it out to a pro.


Another way is with a profile grinder. I happen to have one in
storage if any one is interested. I'll never have room to set it up in
my shop.
