Hello , I recently bought a used model 500 tool grinder. This is one heavy grinder. This grinder has 1 green wheel for carbide and 1 diamond wheel. Green wheel needs dressing. and The diamond wheel appears to be well worn but interested to see if there are any instructions detailing accurite wheel trueing/dressing? What budget tool or tools work best for dressing/trueing? Also wondering what is usually done to diamond wheels , if anything can or should be? This diamond wheel appears to be worn thru in spots. Main use is for grinding HSS lathe/mill tooling. I am going to build a pedestal mount when I source a nice chunk of something for the column. I have piece of 6" round tubeing coming but not sure if it is stiff or thick walled enough. I have used old semi brake drums for grinder bases and may use one of those but curious what other members have built and maybe share some pictures of their grinder bases? Ski
