The parameter defined as ‘rake angle’—combining the
shape of the wheel-dressing diamond with its orientation—has been introduced in conjunction with other associated
dressing variables, such as the depth of cut and traverse
rate, into an evaluation of the dressing process, and its
subsequent influence on both rough and finish cylindrical
traverse grinding.
With the object of minimizing diamond wear, due to
the high cost of dressing diamonds, the nature and
magnitude of the components of the dressing force have
been recorded by means of a three-component strain gauge-type dynamometer and Ultra Violet recorder. A linear
relationship was established between the radial component
of force on the diamond, and the amount of diamond wear. [Continues.]
