Thanks for posting that! Interesting idea. Relatively simple. Does the diamond holder include the screwdriver handle? I found some 6" long diamond points, which would give me some additional leeway in a design.I’ve been meaning to get a picture for this thread. This is the dressing tool that came with my Rockwell carbide grinder:

It’s nothing too complicated but it seems to work well with the same functionality you have been discussing, albeit using a plain screw for adjustment.

They are very durable. You just need to dress them.True for expensive wheels. A true blue US/EU CBN wheel is an expensive accoutrement. Stefan Goetteswinter said in one of his vids that he has a chinese CBN wheel (Shars type) and abuses it heavily with carbide. I thought there was something to it, so I started grinding anything and everything on one of my chinese CBN wheels. A couple of years and some hard floggings later, the wheel is still good and my stuff is easy to keep sharp. Carbide does grind on these wheels, and they take it. Maybe not as efficient as a true (expensive) carbide grinding wheel, but plenty sufficient for my home shop needs.
@jwmelvin finally getting back to this. Is the adjuster screw assembly one piece? Or, is the adjuster knob screwed in and held somehow? It almost looks like it could be a single piece. I just acquired a 6" long 7/16" diameter diamond tool. Guessing from the dimensions, the holder is roughly 3"Wx2"Lx2"H? This could be my first FreeCAD project. It is simpler than what I was thinking, but that's good for a first CAD project.

Sorry, forgot to do this. You were right. About 3.25" W x 2.5" L x 1.5" H. None of that seems critical. The screw is a single piece with a narrow waist that engages the yoke. Happy to provide any additional details that may help.I remember it being just a single piece, with a necked section to engage the yoke. I can go look closer and measure for you in a minute.
