The final surface topography generated on a grinding wheel is influenced and determined by the dressing conditions. In this paper a new mathematical model of the dressing of grinding wheels by diamond disc dresser is developed. It predicts the components of dressing forces between the diamond grits of a rotating disc dresser and the grits of an alumina grinding wheel. Dressing parameters were varied and the dressing forces are measured experimentally and are compared with theoretical calculation. Theoretical results closely match with the experimental findings. Also the wheel topography and grinding specific energy were measured at different dressing conditions experimentally. The effect of changing dressing parameters on the wheel sharpness and grinding performance are discussed.
