    Lightbulb Plans for a diamond wheel dressing fixture?

    I'm a retired job-shop owner & tool-maker. Now I have a home shop in my garage.

    I just acquired a carbide tool grinder and I need to dress the wheels. One wheel is aluminum oxide; the other is a diamond wheel. I have a miter fence, with which I can guide a wheel dressing fixture. (I'm surprised that I can't find a ready-made diamond wheel dressing fixture from industrial suppliers like MSC, Travers and numerous others. All they have are fixtures for surface grinders.) I have designed a fixture and I have all the parts I need to make the tool. But before I start making chips, I wonder if anyone has plans for one. Maybe your design is better than mine. I'm happy to pay for plans (or even a complete fixture) if any are available.

    Also, maybe I just haven't checked enough suppliers. Maybe I've missed a less well-known supplier that stocks diamond dressing fixtures for carbide grinders. If anyone has information on such a supplier, I'd appreciate hearing from you.

    Thanks!
