Wish I had a mill at home...Oh the trouble I could get into!

Looks great on what you have done.

Depth gauge shape is important and hard to achieve with a 511 style grinder. Dressing a large wheel to desired profile would work well like the OP has done. What a well made setup, it may seem overkill but if you have the brains and tools.....why not!!

TRAINING and tools......most of this forum,, have it upstairs. but not training,,and very FEW have the machines!!

Just had to try it out,I know I have to get a stone,I didn't make the tooth locator adjustable yet becaust I can move table in and out to center stone over drag.

Made it so it will tilt down so it will grind at a 10 degree angle till I come up with a stone radius dresser
