1. An apparatus for dressing a grinding wheel mounted on a flex-arm, the apparatus comprising a base, a post, a dresser and a guide receiving a nose of the flex-arm such that the flex-arm is guided by the guide, wherein: a bottom of the post is positioned on the base;the guide is positioned on the t
1. An apparatus for dressing a grinding wheel mounted on a flex-arm, the apparatus comprising a base, a post, a dresser and a guide receiving a nose of the flex-arm such that the flex-arm is guided by the guide, wherein: a bottom of the post is positioned on the base;the guide is positioned on the top of the post and vertically oriented, the guide receiving a nose of the flex arm such that the nose of the flex arm travels within the guide thereby positioning the grinding wheel for dressing with the dresser;the dresser is positioned in the post below the guide;wherein when the flex-arm is in an unengaged position with the guide, the flex-arm is capable of movement along at least two directional axes; andwherein when the flex-arm is in an engaged position with the guide, the flex-arm is restricted to movement along one directional axis. 2. The apparatus of claim 1, wherein the base further comprises at least one magnet. 3. The apparatus of claim 1, wherein the post further comprises at least one aperture. 4. The apparatus of claim 3, wherein the at least one aperture and the dresser further comprise threads for cooperation with each another. 5. The apparatus of claim 4, wherein the dresser comprises a threaded bolt and a dressing element. 6. The apparatus of claim 5, wherein the dressing element comprises a diamond. 7. The apparatus of claim 1, wherein the guide further comprises a recess, a channel or a groove for a nose of the flex-arm to enter and travel within. 8. The apparatus of claim 7, wherein the guide comprises a section of angle iron. 9. A method of dressing a grinding wheel that is mounted on a flex-arm capable of movement along at least two directional axes, the method comprising: providing a dressing apparatus comprising a base, a post, a dresser and a guide;engaging the flex-arm and the dressing apparatus by urging a nose of the flex-arm into contact with the guide so that the flex-arm is restricted to movement along one directional axis; anddressing the grinding wheel by contacting the grinding wheel with the dresser while the grinding wheel is spinning. 10. The method of claim 9, wherein the flex-arm is capable of movement along three directional axes when not engaged with the dressing apparatus. 11. The method of claim 9, wherein the guide further comprises a recess, a channel or a groove for the nose of the flex-arm to enter and travel within. 12. The method of claim 11, wherein the guide comprises a section of angle iron. 13. The method of claim 9, wherein the base further comprises at least one magnet. 14. The method of claim 13, further comprising the step of securing or attaching the dressing apparatus to a metal table or metal die by setting the base down on upon the metal table or the metal die. 15. An apparatus for dressing a grinding wheel mounted on a flex-arm, the apparatus comprising: a base with at least one magnet mounted on or within the base;a post positioned on the base, the post comprising at least one aperture;a dresser positioned in the post, the dresser comprising a bolt and a dressing element; anda guide positioned on to of the post and vertically oriented such that the dresser is positioned below the guide, the guide receiving a nose of the flex arm such that the nose of the flex arm travels within the guide thereby positioning the grinding wheel for dressing with the dresser;wherein when the flex-arm is in an unengaged position with the guide, the flex-arm is capable of movement along at least two directional axes; andwherein when the flex-arm is in an engaged position with the guide, the flex-arm is restricted to movement along one directional axis. 16. The apparatus of claim 15, wherein the at least one aperture and the bolt further comprise threads for cooperation with one another. 17. The apparatus of claim 15, wherein the dressing element comprises a diamond. 18. The apparatus of claim 15, wherein the guide comprises a recess, a channel or a groove which receives the nose of the flex-arm. 19. The apparatus of claim 18, wherein the guide comprises a section of angle iron.
