Do-All, Radius/Tangent? Wheel Dresser =HELP

[Janderso]

Hey all,
I've had this for a couple years now. I got it off E-Bay for cheap. It is a genuine Do-All, I saw pics of it in one of their publications.
Do you have one?
I am looking for an owners manual or users guide of some sort. I can figure out the radius part but to dress a 45 degree you need to flip this and lock that and what's the green lever for?
I looked on vintage machinery but didn't find anything.
Thanks for your help.
Jeff

Do you mean the green thingie in picture #4 with the two holes in it? that is where the diamond dressing tools mount.

No silly,
The lever on the same side. You would think it would lock in place at 30-45 degrees.
This gadget is complicated. A guide or how to manual would be a dream come true.

The handle rotates the dressing tool for dressing radii on the grinding wheel between the angular stops; tangents may be dresses by using the radial slide, I think. I have a B&S dresser that does radius and tangent dressing in one motion, have never used it, but it is a thing of beauty and complexity; needs instructions!

Jeff,

This page:

has a pdf manual for a Yuasa one that is similar.
Hope that helps.

I'll say.
Watching Don Bailey, Suburban tools, he has a couple videos on dressing wheels for side milling and cutting a radius and angles on the grinding wheels.
It motivated me to pull out this gadget, blow the dust off and try to figure it out.
He uses the J hardness wheels when they need to keep an edge.
Complicated it is.

Jeff , I used these years ago back in the tool and die shop . The one I used I believe was a B&S . It was very easy to set up and use for form grinding . Yours looks very different . Either way , now I just use a angle slide set up with a sine plate and a norbide stick for radiii when/if I need one .

Did it live in a humpbacked metal box? if so, same as the one that I have.

It did John . I may have the original instructions on operating it somewhere in my piles of old papers .
