FIGURE 3. Surface texture and contour measuring instrument  Variables that needed to be measured in truing and dressing process are shape and surface roughness. The shap« has to be controlled because the abrasive stick will be mounted in the blade of honing tool. However, in the case ot! this study and the practical use in the plant, only the surface roughness will be investigated. The roughness of abrasive sticks could affect the machined surface roughness (in this case, honed surface) [12]. Hence, in order to measure the roughness of the abrasive stick, the device used should be surface texture and contour measuring instrument (Figure 3). There are some roughness parameters definitions, including arithmetic average (Ra) roughness which is the most widely used in the engineering world. As another measuring instrument, the device complied to standards such as ISO, DIN, JIS, ASME, and others. For this study, JIS is used and to be specific JIS B0671.
