One or more workpieces having a desired gear geometry may be produced by means of a suitably dressed tool which is respectively dressed by a dresser after the carrying out of one or more machining steps before further machining steps are carried out at the same workpiece or at further workpieces. A relative position between the dresser and the tool may be changed by a corresponding additional adjustment of the axes of movement of the dressing machine in a later dressing process with respect to an earlier dressing process in addition to the smaller center distance resulting from the smaller tool diameter.

A method of producing a workpiece having a desired gear geometry by means of a suitably dressed tool may include specifying a desired gear geometry of the workpiece and selecting a combination of a dresser and a tool, such that the desired gear geometry of the workpiece can be produced by the selected combination at least within one permitted tolerance. The method may further include dressing the tool with the dresser in line contact for producing a suitable gear geometry of the tool and machining the workpiece with the dressed tool for producing the desired gear geometry of the workpiece at least within a permitted tolerance.
