Claims9
A rotary dresser comprising:
- a roll having an outer circumferential surface including a first portion that varies in diameter relative to an axial position along a longitudinal axis of the roll and provides an arc portion or inclined portion of the outer circumferential surface;
- a plurality of diamond abrasive grains embedded on the first portion of the outer circumferential surface of the roll,
- wherein a number of diamond abrasive grains in a circumferential direction for each of a plurality of equal widths of the first portion is a first number that is constant for the plurality of equal widths,
- wherein the plurality of equal widths of the first portion extend along the longitudinal axis of the roll from a first end of the first portion to a second end of the first portion,
- wherein for each of the plurality of equal widths, an interval in the circumferential direction between respective diamond abrasive grains is fixed, and
- wherein the interval varies based on an axial position along the longitudinal axis of a respective equal width.
