Contract Dressing & Grinding Test – Grinding Wheels in Test & Service
You supply the grinding wheel.
We deliver the result.
In-house dressing machines are not always available or economically viable. Yet grinding wheels must be regularly restored to shape to ensure consistent precision in use. That’s where we come in: with our contract dressing service, we ensure your wheels are professionally reconditioned and quickly ready for use – handled by our experienced and trained staff.
Contract Dressing – Professional Profiling of Your Grinding Wheels
You provide the wheel – we deliver the profile.
Want to ensure that your grinding wheels are perfectly compatible with our machines? Or need support because you don’t have your own dressing machine? Then you’re in good hands with us: as part of our grinding test, we work with you to determine how your wheels can be used on our machines. If required, we’ll handle the professional dressing – reliably, precisely, and efficiently.
Your Need – Our Solution
Many of our customers face a clear challenge: grinding wheels that are no longer dimensionally accurate must be dressed precisely and reliably. But the required machine is often missing – due to lack of space, time, or budget. Our service offers a flexible and economical solution.
Our Added Value for Your Grinding Test
Want to see how your grinding wheels perform on our machines? Or whether specific profiles can be dressed cleanly and precisely? That’s exactly what we examine in our grinding test. And if needed, we’ll take care of the professional dressing of your wheels – efficiently and with short turnaround times.
Grinding Test – Test your Grinding Wheels
Evaluate results before you invest.
Many customers bring us complex grinding wheels that not every machine can process to satisfaction. With a grinding trial, we test your specific requirements on one of our profiling machines (e.g. GAPU-4, GAPU-6 or GAPU-5/6 CNC). This way, you’ll see exactly what our technology can achieve – and make an informed decision based on real results.

FAQ – Frequently Asked Questions
Answers to Your Most Important Questions
Here you’ll find answers to common questions about our contract dressing services.
Clear, concise, and transparent – so you’re always well informed.
During the grinding process, wheels gradually lose their shape and profile. Dressing restores the grinding wheel to its original geometry and prepares it for continued use. This ensures consistent wheel performance and high-quality results over time. Regular dressing is essential for precise machining outcomes and extended tool life.
