Has anybody from toolmaking or surface grinder, knows and can share the knowledge of the correct and proper way of dressing diamond wheels or CBN wheels used for grinding carbides?

Dressing sticks made from silicon carbide or alumina oxide (soft bond) are usually used for dressing diamond tools.

Diamond Tools must be used with diamonds exposed properly through frequent dressing. Otherwise, the diamond tool will glaze over. They will begin to tear rather than grind which is very destructive. Tearing caused from unexposed diamonds creates friction. This causes uneven wear and heat cracks in the diamond tool as well as material being machined. Resulting in premature diamond tool wear, blade tensioning problems, and will eventually destroy the diamond tool. The more a diamond tool is dress the cooler it will drill or cut
