Suggested Procedure for Dressing and Conditioning
The following procedure is recommended for all STI metal plated wheels, (hubbed or hubless) regardless of application, (Exclude 2 micron blade). A new dicing wheel (hubbed or hubless) requires dressing in order to optimize performance.

Recommended dressing parameters:

Material: silicon carbide in phelolic dressing block
Spindle Speed: 25,000 - 30,000 RPM.
Cut Depth: Dressing depth should be at least four mils deeper than intended depth of cut.
Cut Spacing: Index spacing between dressing cuts should be at least the blade thickness plus .006".
Cut Speed and Increments: (Feed or Table Speed) see instructions in hub or hubless pages.

Note: Using properly dressed dicing wheels will exhibit less chiping & increase blade life. Some materials may require changes. Check factory.
