A truing device includes a housing and a truing mandrel (1) with a shaft (10) used to mount a circular tool having a concentric opening, in particular a grinding disc (3), and with a first bearing (11) fixed on the housing (4) and located in a first end region of the truing mandrel (1) The shaft (10) includes a hydraulic clamping device (20) having a chamber (21) containing hydraulic medium, to which a pre-clamping pressure can be applied with a preclamping element (23) The hydraulic clamping device is formed from a clamping section (22) lying above the chamber (21) in the radial direction and held in the shaft on both sides. The outer surface of the clamping section forms the clamping surface and which, when the hydraulic pressure in the chamber (21) increases, can be reversibly moved or bent outwards in the radial direction such that a radial clamping force can be exerted on the inner surface of the concentric opening of the circular tool penetrated by the clamping section (22). A method provides for mounting and removing a circular tool on the truing mandrel of a truing device of this kind.

A dressing apparatus includes a bus member which is equipped with a ceiling plate and a circular or polygonal cylindrical skirt portion provided at a bottom surface of the ceiling plate and which is configured to accommodate a polishing pad from thereabove. The bus member includes a dual fluid nozzle configured to jet a cleaning liquid and a gas onto a polishing surface of the polishing pad; a dress board configured to come into contact with the polishing surface of the polishing pad; and a rinse nozzle configured to supply a rinse liquid onto a contact surface between the polishing surface of the polishing pad and the dress board. A cleaning liquid, a fragment of a grindstone or a sludge is suppressed from being scattered around by the skirt portion.

A method for dressing a grinding worm using a dressing roll that engages the grinding worm to profile its helical grinding profile. The dressing roll is produced by: a) producing a disk-shaped base body a profiled surface for receiving a layer of abrasive particles, wherein the surface is at least partially tooth-shaped in a radial cross section, b) positioning the abrasive particles on the profiled surface, c) profiling the base body provided with abrasive particles by removing outer sections of the abrasive particles with a profiling tool so that the abrasive profile of the dressing roll is created. Production of the profiled surface takes place in step a) so that the distance between the profiled surface and the abrasive profile changes during advancing from the root region to the tip region at a flank of the tooth-shaped surface, measured in the radial cross section perpendicular to the profiled surface.
