Abstract:
1. An electrode dresser comprising: a face cutting segment having a top surface and a face rake surface, the top surface intersecting the face rake surface thereby forming a face cutting edge, the face cutting edge configured to remove deposits located on a face of an electrode, the face rake surface forming a face rake angle with a line oriented to be generally perpendicular to the top surface; and a side cutting segment extending from the face cutting segment and having a top surface and side cutting surface, the top surface intersecting the side cutting surface thereby forming a side cutting edge, the side cutting edge configured to dress a distorted tapered side of an electrode tip, the side cutting surface forming a side rake angle with a line oriented to be generally perpendicular to the top surface; wherein the face rake angle is different from the side rake angle.
