Thanks. Glen
Glen, I have made my own before using washers stacked together and cut slots in them with a cutoff wheel then put into a simple wooden handle! Yes it does wear, but washers are cheap and can use it a few times before replacing washers!
This is an excellent idea. I was actually thinking of doing something sort of similar but never thought about washers. Good thinking. Thanks for sharing Paul.
Thanks, Glen. I have one of those tools as well. Maybe you can do a video making a better holder. That would be cool. I hope all is well with you and your family.
If I get a chance and have a decent idea, I'll give that a go. Thanks Greg.
Really liking your idea!I generally use a diamond dressing tool but the wheels I use are not as course as the wheel shown in this video.A pleasure to see your work,thanks for posting!
I will buy a diamond dressing tool next time I go to the hardware store. Lots of folks are saying good things about them. Thanks Gianni.
I Picked up a diamond wheel truer for a few bucks. It is a "T" shaped tool with the top being the resurfacing "business" end. it is about an inch and 3/4 wide, and 3/8 deep; wide enough for most any wheel. It squares the wheel quickly. I have had mine for a few years and shows no appreciable wear. I did use it to dress a wheel into a reverse "V" for a project where I had to clean a lot of spatter from a lot of angle irons.
I've also got one of those diamond wheel dressers; had it for several years. Works great.
I like your idea abut working a wheel into a reverse V for some work. I saw a diamond wheel dresser for about 12 bucks at a local hardware store. Based on what you say, I will pick that up. Thanks for the tips and again for your patience with the shipping.
I'm going to get one of those. Thanks.
Nice one Glen! Simple is often better.
This just works better for me. But I may also get a diamond tip dressing tool. Thanks.
I have never seen that done. Thank you greatly.
Beautiful country even when it is raining. (trying to snow here)
Yes, the rain here at times is really refreshing. And by the amount of green here, you know it rains often. Much like in the Pacific Northwest. Thanks Glen
It always amuses me when I see a grind stone dressing tool in an antique store labeled “kitchen tool.”
Saw one in Goodwill labeled as a knife sharpener for a quarter! I still use it!
@@stanervin6108 I've seen them listed as pie crust edgers too.

I guess some people are clueless.
I can definitely see how folks might think this is a kitchen tool. Maybe for scoring pasta or something like that. Thanks.
Good story. Thanks Stan.
I’ve got several wheel dressers that accumulated in my shop over the years. My favorite is a diamond dresser at my dad’s place that’s probably going to outlive me, my son and his son! We have been using it for over 20 years. Definitely not built with planned obsolescence in mind!
Cheers!

A few others in the comments also mention diamond dressers being very good and really durable. I will buy a newer one at a local hardware shop. Thanks Whipple.
Good tip Glen, thanks.
My pleasure my friend. Thanks for continuing to watch my channel.
Good onya Glen. Excellent tip. I appreciate it.
Simple but works. Thanks James.
Cool idea!! But, you're always coming up with cool ideas, LOL....
Just really simple but this has worked better for me than the actual dressing tool handle. Thanks Jeff.
It may help to remove the embedded non-ferrous materials from the stone by letting it soak in warm soapy water then taking a wire brush to it during the soak and while rinsing. That process can remove a fair amount of oils that accumulated in the stone that are a potential source of contamination. If it is critical for your work to worry about it.
Hey buddy, If I may give a tip in return: It's always best to use a blotter on both sides of grinding wheel both for safety and to prevent slippage. ATB
I never thought about that. Then again, there's a lot of things I never think of. Thanks Steve.
Hello buddy. Could you please tell me what a blotters is?
@@cravenmoorehead5636 Just a piece of paper or the label that comes on the new wheel.
@@Steve_Just_Steve so those pieces on the side actually serve a purpose? Wow I always peel them off? Thanks man. May have just saved me an eye or a finger.
Ty, Great idea!
Simple but works. Thanks.
Thanks Glen…some days it’s like you’re reading my mind
I'm not sure if that's a good thing (reading your mind) but glad if this can help you in any way. Simple but effective. Thanks Stephen.
Thanks for the tip.
Simple but works good enough for me. Thanks for watching.
Pretty neat review. Good luck!
Crawford out 🙏🔥⚒️🧙🏼♂️
Thanks Crawford. Keep on keeping on.
Works in a pinch... However, I think I would use a longer bolt, with a couple more nuts and center the cutter wheels on the bolt so you can use both hands to steady it, one on each side, to make it easier to get a true surface on the stone...
Добрый день! Шарошка и алмазный карандаш самое верное решение ! У меня маломощный шлифовальный станок и я использую для выравнивания кусок такого же камня или твёрдосплавную напайку
Very good tip. Thank goodness for Google translate. And thanks for watching.
Talking about danger while prefoming a bare back 5 finger squeeze brake to a rotating shaft. I like your style.
Glen, need a tool, make a tool. You can certainly smith up a right sized handle for your star wheels. Thanks for the videos. Jon
Yeah, I wanted to forge a handle for the dresser wheels but since this simple bolt was working, figured I show that. Thanks Jon.
Thank you
Thanks for checking this one out.
Where can I buy the boxes of dresser cutter wheels, that are shown at 0:42 in this video? Who makes and/or sells them?
Many thanks. Great tip. Would this also true up the surface profile? Mine is no longer square and annoying.
It should true up the sides as well but you have to be a little more careful when using the sides of a grinding wheel. Thanks Richard.
Best dresser i used was some black porous stone in a brass round tube.Anyone knows what that stuff is?
It's called a "dressing stick", aluminum oxide sticks are used for dressing CBN & diamond wheels, carborundum sticks are for vitrified wheels although usually used more for truing and shaping the wheel. The star wheel type being used here are good for cleaning and opening up the structure "shapening" the wheel. Diamond dressers do a good job of both truing and sharpening.
I need to look for this or something similar. Thanks for sharing.
Thanks for the good information.
What grit is that stone just wondering great tips
I believe that wheel is 36 grit. Thanks.
Je voudrais vraiment que tu filmes une tempête tropicale de ton balcon ça devrait être intéressant.
One day, I want to venture out in a big typhoon and record that. I think that would be interesting. Thanks Adem.
Great work thank you sir
