    Default Mistery object -a new one

    Hi folks, I thought it was about time for another one.

    Came across this in one of my tool boxes yesterday. Every time I had noticed it before I had simply thought that it was a tool for joining carpet as I have a couple of those that look kinda similar.

    But for some reason I thought I'd give it a closer look and I got suspicious.

    Its marked "Original Sievert" "Type 3610" Max Sievert Sweden" It has a wooden handle painted Army Karki Green.

    Did a quick Google so I think it must be something to do with hot metalworkWho knows........it could be as common as muck for all I know!

    You heat it up till it's red hot, then roll it across your forehead for a nice, decorative pattern - particularly attractive to Klingons, apparently.

    I agree with SilentC - I have a picture of one like that in a 1970's text (NSW) on metalwork

    Well, if it is a wheel dresser, you start the grinder, then turn it off when it gets to full speed, then hold the dresser against the rotating wheel and move it side to side. It cleans the swarf out of the wheel and removes grooves.

    Default Re Grinding Wheel Dresser

    Bleeding.....Grab it by the handle and place the rollers against the face of the grinding wheel. Apply sufficient pressure to face the grinding wheel.The wheel will cause the rollers to rotate and this will dress the face of the wheel. Make sure you wear the usual safety glasses and be prepared from some dust.....

    With the grinder running, hook the 2 "legs" over the toolrest, and then raise the handle until the 'wheels' make light contact with the spinning grinding wheel. As they whizz around, they repeatedly bash into the grinding surface, knocking out bits of blunt grit, and exposing new sharp grit.

    Note however that it will not true up an out of round wheel very well. To do that you really need a diamond dresser, (either bar type or single point, depending on your preference). These tend to leave a slightly blunted whel, so ideally you first true up with the diamond, and then freshen the grit with the wheel dresser.

    Once that is done, all you will need to do for some time, is to touch lightly with the wheel dresser, to freshen up the grinding surface.

    Hope this helps

    Like the Silent C says but notice, there is a "Hook" on the edge of the handle (a small protrusion) hook that over the edge of your tool rest on the grinder and run the tool back and forth across to true up the emory of the wheel. Cleans off all imbedded matter in the wheel and flattens the face according to the leading edge of the tool rest.

    The one you have is considerable old but they still make them today.. in fact I bought a replacement just last year.
