Sorry, I cannot answer your specific question NB

I brought mine from Machine Mart a few years back and I don't think it was that expensive (can't remember now but I do know I won't have paid too much – I'm too tight!). Mine works well on the wheels I use.

To be frank, I didn't know they came in different "Carats" (wheel dressers – not diamonds that is) let alone know which size I should be choosing and I don't think MM offered any choice in that area.

Regards,

I bought 0.5 carat dressers for my grinding machines; they seem to work fine on the Clarkson as well.

Naughtyboy, any diamond size will do the job, the bigger the diamond the more you will have to pay.

[mick70Participant @mick70]

that's great cheers.

Ian buying the clarkson wiped me out this month even though only scrap value.

now rewired and working lovely.

gives you time to make a holder, and a dust extractor.

I use the one below.

Easy to use and guaranteed to get the wheels square.

I use one of these; I made a ally block to tilt the diamond to about 5* down angle…

Those are the easy route to dressing a wheel without the problem of evenly feeding a single point tool across the wheel. It's what I use most of the time and my single point one hasn't come out since I bought it.
