Abstract
Systems and methods are disclosed herein for dressing and trueing grinding wheels. A laser may be directed substantially tangential to a grinding surface of a grinding wheel. The laser may be a continuous wave laser and may ablate material from the grinding surface. The laser may move relative to the grinding wheel in order to ablate shaped surface profiles into the grinding surface.
