Stop Collar Makes it Easier to Dress a Grinding Wheel
I use a single-point diamond dresser to maintain the wheels on my bench grinder. To make the process easier, I slip a shaft collar on the dresser and use the collar as a depth stop. With the collar butted against the edge of the tool rest, and the business end of the tool just touching the wheel, I can slide the dresser from side to side and be sure that the cutting depth remains the same.
To make it easier to loosen or tighten the collar, I replaced the setscrew in the shaft collar with a threaded knob.
