Abstract
A dressing method has been devised for plated grinding wheels having relatively coarse mesh microcrystalline cubic boron nitride abrasive. The method comprises lightly grinding cemented metal carbide (e.g. cobalt cemented tungsten carbide) with the grinding wheel before grinding the intended workiece. Wheels dressed in this manner have been found to obtain good surface finishes (16-18 RMS) while maintaining a free cutting aggressive action which gives high grinding rates.
