Interesting...is there some sort of mount or other parts that go with it? Do you have a link or photos?
Thanks!

No other parts or mounting is required for this type of grinding wheel dresser. It is just placed on the anvil in front of the grinding wheel and the diamond tip is pressed into and moved across the edge of the wheel to dress it up. That means to expose fresh grinding abrasives and square the face.
If you need more information, here is a link that will explain a couple of types and their uses:
