ABSTRACT:
A method and apparatus for dressing adjacent faces on a grinding wheel. A single point dressing nib and a rotary dressing wheel are mounted to a common slide oriented with its slide axis parallel to a first face on the grinding wheel. As the slide is actuated, the nib is drawn across the first face of the grinding wheel, dressing the entire face. After the single point nib traverses the first face of the grinding wheel, the rotary dressing wheel is activated and brought into engagement with a second face on the grinding wheel, adjacent to the first face. A cam is provided on the base which carries the slide, so that a tracing stylus will follow the shape of the cam and transmit the cam profile to the dressing nib as it traverses its path. In this manner, therefore, an extremely accurate profile may be dressed on a first face of the grinding wheel, and a second, potentially wear-causing face may be dressed into the grinding wheel by a dressing wheel yet the rotary dressing wheel will not introduce vibrational inaccuracies into the first face.
