no one tell the wife I'm shopping for diamonds, deal?
single point, multipoint, re-settable and non -- does it really make a difference? (home shop).
From what I gather re-settable dressers have tips.. I assume you unscrew the tip, flip it over,
new diamond? They're only ~$10 more (from McMaster). Seems like its worth it. Any down
sides to re-settables?
Also McMaster recommends 1/3 carat for 7-8" wheels. Why would wheel diameter have
any impact? Couldn't I just very well use a 2 carat diamond to dress a 4" wheel?
Granted, I'd rather shoot a 1/3 carat diamond ($30) across the room than a 2 carat ($300)
Then there are indexables. Assumption #465: I could just rotate a single point diamond in
its holder and not worry about even indexing?
Lastly, I see batches of these on ebay. 5- 10- 20 pcs diamonds in all shapes and sizes for
what seem like a great price. Worth it? Or is it likely they've dulled and best stick with fresh
ones?
Chock full'o'questions,
