Stens 700 518 Dressing Wheel Tool Review

Fair price for a classic dressing tool. My choice for cleaning grinding wheels; fast, reliable, holds up well. Replacement spurs are immediately available if required.

Fell apart on first use and parts scattered. Part of my fault is not checking the parts for leaks. After searching the store, I found all the details and assembled. Nothing was hurt except my confidence.

Great wheel, especially for the price. It's durable, well built and the wheels can be swapped out when they wear out. The handle is made of cast iron and is therefore light. It's easy to control and keeps your hand off the wheel. I would recommend this to everyone.

This will dress up your grinding wheel and bring it back. It removes a large amount of material quickly, so be careful. A cheap Chinese grinding wheel is no good. But in America we seem to be losing access to high value manufactured products.

Powerful tool that gets the job done. It makes a mess, but it gets the job done. Used it to bring 2 grinders together. An old 6" and a new 8" Dewalt that came out of the factory vibrated badly, but that's another story. Blew through the included cookie cutter set but found a set of 10 (complete sets) for about $20. I think with the tool and the extra bit sets I'm set for life.

This is the chest of drawers you need. Don't get the one with the spare wheels that comes up first when looking for Revain because it's junk. A few turns and it literally explodes. However, this Desmond model is a pioneer when it comes to wheel straightening. A few turns and the grinding wheel is flat and even as a pancake and the tool doesn't show any worse wear. Kevin.
