Grinding wheel dressing tool with hollow spheres

A grinding wheel dressing tool with hollow spheres, comprising:

• a tool shank includes a shank portion and a tool body, said shank portion extends from one end of said tool body, wherein a dressing portion cavity is formed in an opposing end of said tool body;
• a dressing portion formed on said opposing end of said tool body including a quantity of diamond grit, metal bond powder, binder and a plurality of hollow spheres, said dressing portion cavity is filled with metal bond powder, wherein said diamond grit, said metal bond powder and said binder are mixed together to form a grit mixture,
• wherein said plurality of hollow spheres includes a first layer of hollow spheres adjacent to the tool shank and including at least two hollow spheres centered along a first horizontal axis, said plurality of hollow spheres further including a second layer of hollow spheres offset from the first layer of hollow spheres in a vertical direction and including at least two hollow spheres centered along a second horizontal axis which is perpendicular to the first horizontal axis, wherein an area around the plurality of hollow spheres is filled with said grit mixture wherein said grit mixture and hollow spheres are heated and cured to form the dressing portion.

A grinding wheel dressing tool with hollow spheres, comprising:

• a tool shank includes a shank portion and a tool body, said shank portion extends from one end of said tool body;
• a dressing portion formed on a top side of said tool body including a quantity of diamond grit, metal bond powder, binder and a plurality of hollow spheres, said diamond grit, said metal bond powder and said binder are mixed together to form a grit mixture,
• wherein said plurality of hollow spheres includes a first layer of hollow spheres adjacent to the tool shank and including at least two hollow spheres centered along a first horizontal axis, said plurality of hollow spheres further including a second layer of hollow spheres offset from the first layer of hollow spheres in a vertical direction and including at least two hollow spheres centered along a second horizontal axis which is perpendicular to the first horizontal axis, wherein an area around the plurality of hollow spheres is filled with said grit mixture, wherein when said dressing portion is brought in contact with a grinding wheel, said hollow spheres break causing a groove to be formed on a surface of the grinding wheel.
