The purpose of this paper is to obtain fundamental knowledge about various cooling modes from grinding phenomena. In cool-air grinding, we could obtain less accumulated chips on the sides and chip adhesions than those in dry grinding. Though we could observe the clear grinding grooves and the clean ground surface, the ground surface roughness in mist grinding was large. The ground surface roughness in cool-air mist grinding was nearly equal to that in cool-air grinding. The width of grinding grooves was small in cool-air mist grinding. The cleanness of ground surface in cool-air mist grinding was almost similar with that in wet grinding.
