Disclosed herein is a dressing board for dressing a cutting blade. The dressing board is held on a chuck table in dressing the cutting blade. The dressing board includes a bar code formed on the front side of the dressing board for indicating kind information on the dressing board, and a groove code formed on the front side of the dressing board at an edge portion thereof, the groove code being composed of grooves having pattern corresponding to that of the bar code. Even when the bar code is cut off by the cutting blade in dressing the cutting blade, the kind information on the dressing board is indicated by the groove code left on the front side of the dressing board.

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.

A method for dressing a grinding worm using a dressing roll that engages the grinding worm to profile its helical grinding profile. The abrasive profile of the dressing roll is at least partially tooth-shaped in a radial cross section and extends radially from a root region to a tip region. The dressing roll is produced by: a) producing a counterpart having an inner surface; b) positioning and fixing a layer of abrasive particles on the tooth-shaped surface; c) producing a disk-shaped base body of the dressing roll and connecting the base body with a carrier layer for the abrasive particles; d) demolding the base body; e) profiling the base body. Step a) includes providing the counterpart with the surface so that the distance between the profiled surface and the abrasive profile changes during advancing from the root region to the tip region at least at one flank of the surface, measured in the radial cross section perpendicular to the profiled surface.

A form dressing roller with a carrier body and a freestanding cover ring containing diamond grains and/or diamond rods configured in ceramic, metallic, or resin bond. The form dressing roller is made and used for dressing diamond and CBN grinding wheels as well as conventional wheels with abrasives made of corundum or silicon carbide. The form dressing roller includes clamping screws for securing the cover ring between the carrier body and an attachment ring, and includes a receiving hole in the center of the carrier body. The cover ring has at least three recesses.

The present invention relates to a grinding machine for grinding a surface of a workpiece, having at least one transport device for transporting a workpiece in a transport direction through the grinding machine, and at least one grinding tool (2), wherein the grinding tool (2) has at least one brush with grinding bristles,
wherein the grinding machine has a leveling unit.

A grinding tool includes a substrate having a surface provided with a plurality of openings, and a plurality of grinding studs. Each of the grinding studs includes a stud portion and an abrasive particle attached to each other, the stud portions being respectively attached into the openings, and the abrasive particles protruding outward from the surface, each of the abrasive particles having a pattern cut across a tip thereof to define multiple apexes adjacent to one another.
