Grinding wheel elasticity should be considered as one of factors which restrict the cutting edge space or the undeformed chip thickness in the wheel-work contact zone. In this paper, the elastic deformation of wheel and the projecting grain density in the contact zone are analyzed, assuming a relatively simple model of wheel based upon the stiffness of grain mounted on spring and the distribution density of grain on the wheel surface. Some experimental results are shown to verify the validity of the analysis.
