Manual of Industrial Diamonds Plus

Dressing and Grinding Criteria for Machining Superalloys 
The problem: 
The wheels on grinding machines used for cylindri-
cal (outer and inner) surface, centerless, and tool and 
cutter grinding must be dressed repeatedly to provide 
optimum performance. There is no single 'source of 
information available to an industrial shop that pro-
vides guidelines as to the proper selection and use of 
available diamond wheels. 
The solution: 
A manual that will combine, in the fofm of an 
acceptance standard, the important and controlling 
factors for the proper selection and use of stones for 
cutting and dressing grinding wheels. 
This manual is a compilation of empirical data that 
has been assembled from the various trade journals, 
publications, and technical reports, providing avail-
able machining criteria for the specific types of grind-
ing on superalloys. 
In addition, this manual incorporates an original 
companion treatise on the physical descriptions of the 
diamond stones, their grading, and their application 
for dressing, suggested nib-to-wheel attitudes, and 
grinding wheel, stone, and stone-mount recommenda-
tions on 14 selected standard diamond wheel dressing 
mounts.
Notes: 
I. This manual provides extensive knowledge and 
should be useful to thousands of machine shops 
throughout this country. As evidence of the sig-
nificance of the information provided in this 
manual, one industrial diamond company execu-
tive, a member of the Importers and Dealers Com-
mittee of the Industrial Diamond Association of 
America, has requested copies from the publisher.
