Abstract

In grinding non-uniform workpieces rotating about a longitudinal axis an endless abrasive belt passes over a contact roll in tangent contact. The rotating workpiece is pressed against the belt at the tangent point and the belt is passed around the workpiece on at least one side from the contact point. The amount of wrap is sufficient to heat the workpiece relatively uniform. Either plunge or traverse grinding may be used.
