In vertical grinding method, largest grinding force, namely normal grinding force is induced along grinding wheel axis, so that high grinding system stiffness is effective for machining accuracy, then the face grinding method is widely used in the production field. In this study, the grinding force distribution which has a pressure dimension, is both theoretically and experimentally analyzed with cup type electroplated diamond grinding wheel. Furthermore, stock removal and residual stock, which are front edge of the wheel generated, is measured and analyzed with ground surface profile. From those analysis, the grinding force distributions are obtained by consecutive difference method of the grinding force variations, and it has a single peak at the internal contact region with workpiece. In size generation process, the grinding amount is almost half of the real setting depth of cut. Almost half of the residual stock is remained due to the elastic deformation of both the grinding wheel support system and the workpiece holding system.
