    Handbook of Modern Dressing and Grinding Technologies Volume 2: Processes, Machines, and Practical Applications covers every facet necessary for a deep understanding of modern dressing, tool conditioning, and grinding processes. In addition to discussing the theoretical and fundamental aspects of these processes, the book also provides, via case studies, an extensive examination of their contemporary industrial applications. Chapters discuss both mechanical (stationary and rotary diamond tools; resin- and metal-bonded superabrasive grinding wheels) and non-mechanical (electro-chemical; thermal; ultrasonic) dressing processes. External cylindrical and centerless grinding are each investigated as well, as are internal cylindrical and surface grinding. Gear, tool, free form, jig, and cut-off grinding are also each given substantial coverage, as are monitoring and optimization techniques.
