My wheel dresser arrived

Worked nicely.

Now that I'm using light pressure on the wheel I notice no real wear.

I made my first attempt at using my templates. My thinking is that if I get that down, symmetric cutting will soon follow.

I found this to be very difficult. The four I tried ended up smaller than the template. I tried leaving one millimeter but working the bulges took too much off. I'll try leaving more space next time.

Waiting on the 600 grit paper and the diamond book to arrive. With a light touch I'm able to make the sandpaper last longer, but I keep running into little facets when the paper is near worn. I'm leaning towards sanding with diamond at this point.
