Abstract
A method of grinding a workpiece with a grinding wheel is provided wherein the shape of the wheel is distorted in a predetermined manner during grinding by changing the speed of rotation of the wheel. This deformation of the wheel during grinding is employed to impart a desired shape to the surface of the workpiece. A grinding wheel is also provided which is asymmetric in side view to adapt it for use in accordance with the method.
