A grinding worm being a dressable grinding worm, wherein a first section of the grinding worm has a first abrasive grain which is incorporated in a matrix material and wherein a second section of the grinding worm has second abrasive grain which is incorporated in the matrix material. The first abrasive grain and the second abrasive grain differ from one another in terms of grain size and/or grain material. A transition section is formed between the first section and the second section, in which both the first abrasive grin and the second abrasive grain are incorporated in fie matrix material, wherein the first section, the second section and the transition section have the same matrix material and wherein an intermixing of the first abrasive grain and the second abrasive grain is formed at least in sections in the transition section.

The present disclosure relates to a method for the gear manufacturing machining of a workpiece by a diagonal-generating method, in which the workpiece is subjected to gear tooth machining by the rolling off of a tool, wherein an axial feed of the tool takes place during the machining with a diagonal ratio given by the ratio between the axial feed of the tool and the axial feed of the workpiece. According to the present disclosure, the diagonal ratio is changed within the course of the machining of a workpiece.

A gear-grinding multilayer grindstone includes: a first thread-shaped grindstone and a second thread-shaped grindstone that are fixed to each other, such that the first and second thread-shaped grindstones have a rotational axis that is common to the first and second thread-shaped grindstones; and a thread-shaped groove that is provided in a first outer circumferential surface of the first thread-shaped grindstone and a second outer circumferential surface of the second thread-shaped grindstone. The thread-shaped groove extends continuously over the first outer circumferential surface and the second outer circumferential surface. The second thread-shaped grindstone is constituted by abrasive cloths that are laminated on each other, and has a higher elasticity than the first thread-shaped grindstone.
