A dresser unit including a dresser 20 and a driving shaft 21 for rotationally driving the dresser 20 is operatively mounted to a dresser supporting mechanism so that the dresser unit can be moved up and down freely with respect to the dresser supporting mechanism, wherein a piston-cylinder mechanism 40 is installed between the dresser unit and the dresser supporting mechanism for pushing up the dresser unit by an upward force of fluid pressure, and a fluid at a predetermined pressure level is supplied to the piston-cylinder mechanism 40 from a compressed air source 67 via a pressure control unit 65, the compression force applied to a turntable 10 by the dresser is precisely controlled and adjusted based on a balance between the own weight of the dresser unit and the upward force exerted by the piston-cylinder mechanism 40. |
