Yes, especially about the gloves. You also should remember that fingers and eyes aren’t the only things you need to protect. In a noisy environment there is a 100% chance of damaging your hearing ( as opposed to the possibility of getting something in your eye or injuring your hand). Same thing with dust or dangerous solvent in the air. 100% chance of inhaling it.
@@trackie1957 Was going to add emphasis for ear protection too if you didn't. Another way to think about it: Blocking out noise also boosts your brain power. It's harder to think when it's noisy, so protect your ears.
Just started an introduction to machining principles course and this video was a GREAT reminder of all of the safety warnings and use guidances our teacher gave us on this tool. Thank you for making this!
Jane, i have to say, even though this is not a huge project, i love the way you present your material - its explained in a simple manner so that any idiot, including myself, can jump right in without fear. keep up the great work
Great video and excellent tips, especially about standing off to the side till the grinder gets up to speed. I remember learning that about 30 years ago in shop class. If you don't have a dressing tool, you can also use the edge of a tile saw blade or diamond grinding disc. But as you showed, always wear eye protection at least or a face shield at best. Heck, both wouldn't hurt. Thanks for the video.
BEST EXPLANATION OF PROPER TOOL REST ADJUSTMENT I'VE SEEN. SCREWED-UP THE RIGHT LEATHER GLOVE OF A BRAND NEW $30 PAIR LEARNING THAT LESSON...WORTH EVERY PENNY-USED FOR TWO MINUTES. ONE BRUISED KNUCKLE. CHEAP LESSON. YOU ARE DEEPLY EXPERIENCED...THANKS
I've seen your videos before- nice and simple. Just a note to add- I ground aluminum on my wheel and didn't realize that is a big no-no. the aluminum sticks in the wheel and can cause build up, unbalancing it and it can shatter at speed causing serious injury or death. I didn't know you shouldn't grind aluminum, I thought it was just "metal". So...... I found a wheel dresser at an estate sale and dressed my wheel and the aluminum is gone! Hope this helps someone. Good job Jane. Oh, I remember what I saw. It was you talking about drywall knives, and I remember thinking that I like the metal ones you said not to get and they work great for me if you dry them after use. To each their own. Rob M, South Lyon, MI
thank you, i was giving a dressing wheel today and came to youtube to learn how to use it and this was very helpful and informative. and i can already tell im going to enjoy watching your other videos im totally subscribing.
Thank you I have 3 bench grinders 1 which will be dedicated to buffing wheels and one will probably be a wire wheel with a soft and stiff and other will be both stones. This made it easy for me to see when a wheel needs dressed. Another topic that maybe needs discussed is when to shim your wheels or how to make it more balanced so it doesn't shake itself to death or cause an accident.
Just found your video. I appreciate you taking the time to share your knowledge and expertise. This may sound odd, but I have learned to watch people's hands to help me determine if someone is really adept at what they are demonstrating in the video. You definitely are the real deal! Thank you again.
Thanks for the info nuggets and safety tips! I know this is a bench grinder video, but you really saved my bacon a few years back with some drywall and painting tutorials and tool tips after a weather emergency hit our house where it hurt. I wasn't in the best headspace back then, but your positive energy was what I needed to not only get the job done, but get it done well (I'm in a much better place & headspace). The only issue was that the repairs looked better than what was around it, so I had to do that too!
Another pleasant video to watch and hear. Love that you speak in a way that is easy to hear and understand. I normally have subtitles turned on but on this channel it is unnecessary. Keep up the good work!
@@wisconsinfarmer4742 your right, there must be more learners on her youtube channel than you could ever fit in a stadium, 24/7 all the year around, she's doing a great job, for the whole world, I feel so lucky to have found her.
As always sensible safe advise. You told me what I needed to know about dressing my grinder wheel. Thank you from John an old woodworker from North East England
Thanks, I bought a wheel dresser last week as my grinding wheel is a bit worn and was going to look for a video about how to use it when this popped up in my subscriptions. Can you add another video about shiming wheels? Thanks again.
Leah, excellent video. You did a good job evaluating the used grinder and demonstrating dressing the wheel. One thing I might add since it's a used grinder is ring testing the wheel. We don't know it's history, might have a microcrack. Thank you for the video. I look forward to your videos.
Wouldn't it be better if is was correct information? How would you know if it's "amazing" if you don't know you're being taught to do something incorrectly? Presentation alone? I guess this is how people get duped all the time. . . they don't know what they don't know and think because something is presented well it must be true.
I bought a hodge podge of tools, and the dressing wheel was in the pile. I had never seen one before. Google lens identified it, and Leah showed me how to use it. Got to love the internet.
Thank you so much for all this explanation and the warning about safety, I really enjoyed watching this video, you explained everything so clearly 👏 👏 👏 👏 👏
Thank lea, I just got a new grinder and of course while rushing to ge it set up I left a pretty wide gap. Of course the first tool I started cleaning got pulled in and stuck. It was so fast and powerful, I had to step back and assess the situation.... smh thanks for the refresher!
I was always taught that the small "teeth" on the bottom side of the dressing tool hooked onto the front edge of the tool rest, then after you were done you adjusted it back in.
I've used my Desmond dressing tool off & on for over 50 years, always letting the bottom "teeth" as you call them (the 2 protruding lugs) ride on top of the tool rest. A bit late, but logic now tells me that you are right. The increased gap between the tool rest and the grinding wheel would help with the debris being trimmed off the wheel being forced down without it tending to bounce off the tool rest. Stability is also increased. I'm now opting for your way. Good call.
I love your site! Thankyou! We inherited an old beast of a grinder mounted in our home (previous owner). I knew it was a bonus to the shop but didn't know how to take care of or use it. Your videos rock!
Wouldn't it be better if is was correct information? I guess this is how people get duped all the time. . . they don't know what they don't know and think because something is presented well it must be true.
Great video, especially the safety advice. I've been unfortunate enough to have a grinding wheel come apart at speed and while I escaped unhurt, one chunk bounced off the garage cement floor, and went right through the drywall and hit with enough force to crack the stucco on the outside of the garage wall. Now think about the force it took for that to happen. That much force would easily kill someone if hit in the head. One additional thing to note is to never stand in front of the wheel. Keep your body to the side so as little of yourself is in line with the wheels rotational axis. This can be applied to the majority of things in a workshop, whether its a wood lathe or using an angle grinder with a cutoff wheel. Whenever a rotating object comes apart, the danger zone is in-line with the axis of rotation.
Some really good tips that no one gives you in an instruction manual here. As well as standing to the side, I always give a grinder a soft start, so pulse on for a second then off then a few seconds and off then up to full speed, that way if the stone is going to break its not at full revs and limits the amount of spread if it shatters.
You always do a gteat job of explaning stuff. Your experience and insight is a great help to anyone wanting to DIY. Great videos for a girl, too...lol. I've worked with my hands all my life and you shine on this medium. Quite a compliment from an old cynic like me... Can't wait till the next video!
The flanges (plates on either side of the wheel) can sometimes be distorted. Try loosening the nut and repositioning them. It’s easier if you mark the wheel and the flange so you know how much you moved them. You can also switch the flanges around or turn the wheel around. If none of that works, check the straightness of the shaft (actually, check that first). The grinder might have suffered a drop in its life and the weight of the stone might have bent the shaft slightly.
According to the manufacturer, sparks indicate you are not using enough pressure and are grinding the tool dressing wheels more than the grinding wheel. It DOESN'T say you should not do that but it does continue to say it will result in you having to replace the dressing tool wheels sooner. Hope that helps 👍
Leah, if I didn't know better I would swear you are stalking my Shop! Just got a new grinder (new to me) and had no idea how to dress the wheel! Thanks alot friend!
Another safety tip especially if you bought a used machine or you have used (even new) grinding wheels. If it's on the grinder take it off. If they are loose hold the grinding wheel with a screw driver or something in the center (where the arbor goes) then with the plastic end of another screwdriver tap the wheel. It should ring. Meaning it's a good solid wheel. If there is a thud or a muffled sound too it. It may mean there is structural damage to the wheel either it got drop at one point by some one or damaged during shipping (this is what I do to all my new wheels too) You don't want one of these wheels exploding because there was structural damage As always great video and Id wear a dust mask only when dressing the wheel.
Hello!At our plant we also use grinders, but different placement. We use horizontal and vertical ones. for the vertical ones we use grinding stones and those are fixed into the machine with a pin, D=6mm. These stones are formed like cone, with 2 different diameters for different products. But nowadays are used with surface, and we need to refurbish/or repair them. Do you think these kind of wheel dressers can be applied for that job?Thanks for answer.Best regardsJanos
If you are seeing sparks while dressing the wheel, you are not applying enough pressure and are grinding the tool cutters down. Press more firmly. You mentioned the dust generated. Highly recommend a respirator mask in addition to the faceshield.
One thing that was in the instructions on my star wheel dressing tool: If you are getting a large amount of sparks from it, you need to apply more pressure. A bit scary if you are not used to using one, as it seems that an awful lot of that wheel is going away while you are using the dresser..

As always great video and Id wear a dust mask only when dressing the wheel.
The ring test and wearing a dust mask while dressing are important to mention and I'm glad you DID!
And don't forget to always have grinding wheel blotters installed. Sometimes wheels don't come with them. You can make them from cereal boxes.
Thanks, just what I've been wanting to know
You are amazing. Thank you for your videos.
