A new method is presented by which the profiles of relief grinding wheels of gear cutting tools with arbitrary contours can be numerically calculated without solving transcendental equations as done usually. The proposed method is based on iterating the successive approximation until the wheel profile converges to one with a certain desired accuracy. A method is also described by which the correctness of the calculated grinding wheel profiles can be examined. Finally it is confirmed by calculation that the relief grinding wheel profiles of gear cutting tools can be determined easily and precisely by these methods.
