Sidley Diamond Tool Company prides itself on being a leader in creating high-quality, custom diamond dressing rolls for a wide range of applications.
A Sidley diamond dressing roll is a cylindrical tool with diamond particles embedded in the periphery. The diamond area is qualified to the required form and then is ready to use.
In use, the roll is rotated and fed into the grinding wheel, forming the abrasive grain of the wheel.
The advantages of using this type of product versus single-point tools or a crush dressing are its speed, a tool life of thousands of parts and consistency of parts produced.

Sidley Diamond Tool Company Provides All Styles of Dressing Rolls
We manufacture both reverser-plated and sintered diamond rolls, as well as diamond form rolls, diamond dressing discs, and diamond crush rolls. Additionally, we offer various forms, such as profile, bearing, tang, grooving, sets, cup and straight. They are available in contour and with tolerances up to .0000040.”
Step Rolls
Step relation tolerances of .000050” are maintained with this type of roll. Recesses along the bias relieve pressure that develops during dressing and allows the coolant to flush abrasive grain and metal away from the dressing area.
Reverse Plated
This roll is used for plunge dressing on various grinders. Contour accuracy on the profile is maintained to .00002” and these rolls are commonly utilized in the production of turbine blades.
Profiling Roll
This roll is used in conjunction with CNC programmable dressers, such as Hoglund Pantograph or J & L. It transverses the grinding wheel, generating the form.
Straight Roll
The straight roll is used for the traversing of plunge dressings in both O.D. and I.D. grinding operations. It is manufactured in a variety of styles.
Two-Part Roll
Used for plunge dressing on an angle-head grinder, the two-part construction of this roll allows for individual replacement of either section. Also, 50 millionths (.000050) of an inch per side-step relation between large and small diameters is maintained.
Intricate Profile Form
Used for plunge dressing on various grinders, contour accuracy on the profile of this roll is maintained to two ten-thousandths (.0002) of an inch. This roll is also used in the production of turbine blades.
Adjustable Two-Part Bearing Roll
This roll is also used for plunge dressing on a cylindrical grinder. By using spacers, the distance between the races on the adjustable two-part bearing roll can be adjusted, increasing the variety of parts produced by one set of rolls.
Two in One
This dresser is used for plunge dressing on a Cincinnati Micro-centric grinder. It combines two operations into one: doing both the ball track and seal grooves of an inner bearing race. Ball race curvature is within twenty-five millionths (.000025) of an inch.
Grooving Roll
Used in various industries for the production of precisely spaced grooves, dimensional accuracy between grooves on this roll are within two-thousandths (.0002) of an inch.
Step Roll
Step relation tolerances of fifty-millionths (.0000050) of an inch are maintained with this type of roll. Recesses along the bias (swarf grooves) relieve pressure that develops during dressing and allows the coolant to flush abrasive grain and metal away from the dressing area.
Tang Roll
This multiple-roll construction (three pieces) allowed for replacement of any one piece. A completely new roll would not be required if only one of the sections is worn out.
Form Block
Diamond form blocks can be used with any reciprocating grinder without the added expense of a rotary drive unit, which is required when using a diamond dressing roll.
