Hi – Does anyone know where to buy individual diamonds for use with grinding wheel dressings tools as illustrated on page 61, MEW 297?

Will this **LINK** from Axminster do?

HTH,

Rod

Ah! So you are looking to use a Diamond to dress a Carborundum type wheel, rather than dressing a Diamond wheel?

There should be several companies able to supply such a tool. They can be single diamond, or a cluster point.

Yes, I wish to be able to dress a carborundum wheel using a tool similiar to the one shown in the MEW 297

I was really exploring the options of buying the individual diamond to fit an existing holder

[Roderick JenkinsParticipant @roderickjenkins93242]

The diamond is bonded into the end of steel rod which can modified as required.

The chances of finding anyone to supply a one off industrial diamond is pretty well zero. If you did find one, how are you going to bond it to a steel substrate?

Do yourself a favour and just buy one from Clarke, for a tenner, you won't regret it.

Point taken. It doesn’t do any harm to ask!
