Value Collection WD/01 Cutter Dresser Grinding Wheels

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION WD/01 is a handheld disc-type cutter dresser designed for use with grinding wheels ranging from 10 inches to 16 inches in diameter. A cutter dresser restores the cutting face of a grinding wheel by removing glazed or loaded abrasive material, exposing fresh grit and returning the wheel to its proper profile. This tool is held directly against the rotating wheel surface during the dressing operation. It is used in machine shops, maintenance facilities, and fabrication environments where grinding wheel condition directly affects cut quality and surface finish. At 1.7 pounds, the WD/01 is compact enough for one-handed use.

This cutter dresser is suited for bench grinder and pedestal grinder maintenance across a wide range of wheel diameters. It is appropriate for use in general metalworking shops, tool and die operations, and industrial maintenance settings where grinding wheels require periodic reconditioning. The handheld mount type makes it accessible without requiring a fixed dressing fixture. It is commonly used by machinists, toolmakers, and maintenance mechanics as part of routine grinding equipment upkeep.

Installation Notes

Grinding wheel dressing is typically performed by machinists or maintenance mechanics following established shop safety procedures. Before dressing, ensure the grinder is running at its rated speed and that proper eye protection and a face shield are worn. Keep the tool rest adjusted to within the recommended clearance of the wheel per OSHA and machine manufacturer guidelines. Apply the dresser to the wheel face using steady, even pressure and avoid forcing the tool into the wheel surface.
