27 forum posts 19 photos | Hi I'm new to this forum . Does anyone have a bright idea for cleaning diamond wheels without dressing them . They can clog over time and I do find dressing them to be a bit of a pain . Just finished a Shand Mason if anyone is interested . Thanks Jeff C |

However if I did have that problem I would try cleaning in my ultrasonic cleaner with a bit of citric acid added to the water. Just an idea. Russell. |
