Profiling
A rotating diamond dresser is normally used to generate the required profile on the periphery of the grinding wheel.
This is achieved by the dressing tool following the contour i.e. path controlled, or by using a pre-profiled diamond roll.

Cutting and traverse speed

The functions of coolant Required properties of a coolant

Cooling  to conduct heat away from the ground A coolant should have the following properties:
component  to act as a corrosion inhibitor
Lubricant  minimizing the friction between grit  does not foam
and workpiece  remains stable for long periods
Cleansing  the removal of swarf and abrasive  no health hazard
waste from the contact zone
 good wetting ability
