THE GRINDING MACHINE TOOLS OF TODAY HAVE BEEN DESIGNED ALONG PRINCIPLES WHICH DO NOT COINCIDE WITH THE WAY IN WHICH THE GRINDING PROCESS HAS EVOLVED. CREEP-FEED GRINDING, THE USE OF SUPERABRASIVES AND HIGH-SPEED GRINDING, COUPLED WITH DIFFICULT-TO-MACHINE SUPERALLOYS, CERAMICS AND OTHER NON-METALS, MEAN THAT A FRESH LOOK AT THE GRINDING MACHINE IS NEEDED. A CONSTRUCTIVE EXPOSE OF GRINDING MACHINE TOOL DESIGN HIGHLIGHTS THE SHORTCOMINGS OF THE PRESENT DAY DESIGNS. A NEW CONCEPT BASED UPON A PATENTED STATIONARY GRINDING WHEELHEAD DESIGN IS PRESENTED.
