A NEW METHOD IS PROPOSED TO REDUCE WORKPIECE SURFACE WAVINESS BY PROPERLY ADJUSTING THE WORKPIECE ROTATIONAL SPEED SO ONLY PROCESSING WAVES ARE GENERATED ON THE WORKPIECE. A GRAPHICAL PRESENTATION OF THE GRINDING SYSTEM SHOWS THE PROPOSED METHOD IS MUCH MORE EFFECTIVE THAN THE EXISTING SETUP ANGLE ADJUSTMENT METHOD. GRINDING TESTS CONDUCTED AT THE UNIVERSITY OF CONNECTICUT GRINDING CENTER SHOWS THE PROPOSED METHOD IS EFFECTIVE IN REDUCING WORKPIECE SURFACE WAVINESS.
