Apparatus for dressing inside diameter saws

摘要

Apparatus for dressing the cutting surfaces around a central opening of an annular inside diameter saw. The apparatus includes a base and a shaft mounted on the base for rotation on a longitudinal axis of the shaft. The shaft is adapted to be positioned adjacent the central opening of the saw. The apparatus also includes a fixture mounted on the shaft for holding a dressing stone in the central opening of the saw. In addition, the apparatus includes a motor for rotating the shaft to move the dressing stone held by the fixture along an arc centered on the longitudinal axis of the shaft into engagement with the cutting surfaces of the saw when the saw is rotating thereby to remove deposits from the cutting surfaces of the saw.
