Abstract

A dressing tool for a gear machine grinding wheel has a disc with a notch reproducing the tooth space of the gear ground by the machine. The flanks of the space open radially inward into a bore. A strip coated with diamond granules is removably affixed to the sides of the notch and looped around a clamp bolt in the bore which holds the strip taut. The tool, when dressing the wheel, is guided in the same manner as a gear when being ground.
