Oh, wait a minute. Are you talking about using a single-point diamond to dress diamond wheels on a surface grinder? That I've seen. I was thinking about the wheels on a bench grinder. Can you dress them the same way?
Yes, of course, but your results will be as accurate as your hands are. With a light touch so the low spots in the wheel don't "draw in" the dresser, you can do pretty well. Mostly, I've used this to dress toolpost grinder wheels on the lathe or
diamond wheels on the mill, but I have done it freehand a few times in special cases.
