BLADE DRESSING
Like most cutting instruments, a diamond blade performs best when it is dressed. Over time and
use, diamonds on the outer edge of the blade will become smoothed or "glazed" over. This will
reduce grinding efficiency and may cause the blade to "wander" or bend giving the illusion of an
alignment problem. When this occurs, the blade will need to be dressed. The diamond blade can be
dressed using the MK Dressing Stick (part# 152972) and by following the steps below.
(A)
Setup the MK-377EXP for
operation (See Setup, Adjustment
and Operation)
(B)
Set the Adjustable Cutting
Guide to cut a 1/16-strip
(C)
Position the Dressing Stick
against the Adjustable Cutting
Guide and the Ruler/Stop
(D)
Turn the motor ON. Verify proper
cooling flow on both sides of the
blade
(E)
Push the Dressing Stick into
the Blade in a smooth even
motion to perform a cut, repeat
7 or 8 times to dress the Blade
