Want to use up all my diamond on the old 80 grit hard wheel. Is there a way to dress it and expose what is left of the diamond?

You can turn it around and you can use a dressing stick. I do.

Make more sense than wheel. Wonder if a fire brick or old stone wheel would do the same.

I'm sure you know those are only coated - they can't take a lot of scraping or you'll take the diamond layer right off. The Kingsley dressing stick is your best bet - with a very light touch.

What Tommy said. When you get down to shiny smooth steel there is no more nickle/diamond layer left. If the wheel is glazed over you may improve with dressing or turning around.
