Holding the abrasive stick on the grinding wheel face while the wheel turns will "true" the wheel back into round, producing a flat grinding face.To clean or sharpen the wheel, move the dressing stick back and forth across the grinding wheel face. Moving the stick quickly causes the grinding wheel face to be rougher, which results in faster metal removal, and rougher finishes on the workpiece.
