Herein is disclosed a method of dressing a grinding wheel, the method comprising providing a dressing roller and a grinding wheel, wherein the dressing roller comprises a hub and a plurality of polycrystalline diamond (PCD) segments mounted peripherally about the hub, each PCD segment having a pair of side surfaces extending generally radially and an end surface extending generally circumferentially between the side surfaces, the method comprising the steps of: a. rotating the dressing roller and/or the grinding wheel, and b. engaging a periphery of the dressing roller and a periphery of the grinding wheel, wherein a speed ratio qd between the dressing roller and the grinding wheel is below 0 or above +1, and wherein a rake face is located on one of said side surfaces of each PCD segment and a corresponding flank face is located on the end surface.
