A buddy stopped in the other evening with a gift for me.

DiamondDrillBit.jpg


It's a 1/2" diamond impregnated drill bit that wouldn't pass inspection where he works.
The diamond is uneven in one spot.

I asked him what I could do with it and he suggested I try taking across the face of a grinding wheel.

I took a single pass with it across a grinding wheel that is at least 1/2" smaller than it's original diameter
and was pretty rutted up.

I'll accept a scrap tool like that one ANYTIME!

that is pretty handy :)
 
Nice one, Rick.
I prefer a diamond dresser to those star/spur looking wheelie thingies.
 
That thing will probably outlast a thousand of those diamond dressing tools! You have a good friend there Rick.
