Abstract
A process for dressing a tool, a honing tool in particular, introduced into a machine for fine machining of the tooth profiles of gear workpieces, with a dressing wheel which is engaged with the tool to be dressed in place of a gear workpiece and is caused to rotate. To achieve optimum cutting conditions the use is provided of a dressing wheel with a helix angle differing from that of the gear workpiece, an axis intersection angle different from that for fine machining of gear workpieces being set for dressing in order to obtain the assigned helix angle of the tool.
