Okuma type or D5 cone point dressing tool. These tools can be manufactured from natural diamonds or CVD (Chemical Vapour Deposit) inserts.

This style of dressing tool can be used to form dress concave and/or convex forms into all sizes of grinding wheels. The weight and type of diamond is chosen to suit the application requirements, with the CVD inserts being more suited to profiling smaller wheels having a medium to soft bond.

Various angles and radii sizes can be produced on the diamond and the tools are used extensively on CNC and manual grinding machines. These tools are serviceable and we offer a full re-lap / regrind service.
 

Our full ball radius dressing tool is for plunge forming a concave radius into of a grinding wheel. Featuring a 180 degree perfect ball point, it is possible to form an accurate, concave radius even after the diamond has worn just by merely turning the tool in its holder.
