Hi Dale,
I use a silicon carbide stick for the normal grinding wheel.... http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/Wheel-Dre...item5d354968c2
But I haven't dressed a bench grinding wheel for a few years now... since changing to CBN wheels that is ...
On the others I use a single point diamond.

Ray the silicone carbide, is that just a coarse stone?
The diamond dresser that irony shows looks pretty fool proof.…..Live a Quiet Life & Work with your Hands

For the bench grinder, I have always used a black carbide stick similar to the one Ray just linked to. They last for long.... my stick is 30 years old now. It is a VERY messy job though. You want to do this OUTSIDE. Dressing a grinder wheel produces a huge cloud of extremely abrasive dust - a very effective method to ruin any precision instrument or machine tool. Do not try this inside your workshop.
If you have a means to accurately guide a single point diamond tool across the disk to be dressed, that is of course the best method (like used to dress a tool post grinder, or to dress a cutter grinder).

The Wheels.
Hi All,
I might be a little tighter than most of you.
I came across a Concrete Cutter doing a Footpath, short story is, I obtained 2 of his big Cutting Wheels that he said had had their day,
So draw a line across the Wheel, twice, hole to hole, cut with Angle Grinder, & you get a long Triangle Piece, then you need to clean it up on wire wheel & so on.
The ones I obtained had at least 3/16ths. of Diamond Encrusted Steel left.
So that is what I use on both Grey & White Wheels.
My2senseworth.Regards,
issatree.

I'm another that use concrete saw blade sections. I also have the tip of a rock drill bit used for test or blasting holes. Both are the right price if you have access. Free!
