Abstract
A profiling tool ( ) is used for profiling or dressing the grinding worm thread, wherein said tool has a simple basic geometric shape, for example in the shape of a rod. The profiling tool ( ) has on its active, abrasive surface ( ) a transformed topology as needed for the grinding worm ( ). The tool passes the grinding worm profile ( ) during the profiling process in such a manner that points on the active profiling tool surface are matched in advance and brought into contact with corresponding points on the grinding worm flanks. Thereby topologically modified grinding worms may be essentially profiled faster than in traditional methods.
