To solve the problem, the invention provides a manufacturing method of a rotary grindstone 1 with one or more sheets of glass cloth 4 as a reinforcing material, wherein the glass cloth 4 is weaved by thirl plain weave/twill weave or leno weave composed of twist yarns having a diameter of 0.1 mm or less and formed in meshes with lengthwise and crosswise lengths of 2.0 mm or less, and attaching liquid resin to the glass cloth 4 to produce a prepreg 6, attaching resin-coat abrasive grains to both faces of the prepreg 6, and pressing the prepreg 6 in a press machine and further performing predetermined press working in a metal mold, performing baking. ## Claims ### Claim 1 A manufacturing method of a rotary grindstone having a central hole for fitting a shaft for grindstone rotation drive of a grinder and attaching liquid resin to one or a plurality of sheets of glass cloth used as a reinforcing material to form a prepreg, attaching resin-coat abrasive grains having a largest intermediate circumference to the prepreg, wherein the glass cloth is weaved by thirl plain weave/twill weave or leno weave composed of twist yarns having a diameter of 0.1 mm and formed in meshes with lengthwise and crosswise lengths of 2.0 mm, and the rotary grindstone is manufactured by, after attaching liquid resin to the glass cloth to produce the prepreg, attaching resin-coat abrasive grains to both faces of the prepreg, and next after pressing the prepreg formed with resin-coat abrasive grains layers on both faces of the prepreg in a press and further performing predetermined press working in a metal mold, and after respective abrasive grains are conjugated with the lamest intermediate circumference of the resin-coat abrasive grains held in respective meshes of the glass cloth, performing baking in a baking furnace, wherein the resin-coat abrasive grains are held sufficiently to chip during grinding rather than fall off. ### Claim 2 A method of manufacturing a rotary grindstone having a central hole comprising the steps of: attaching a liquid resin to a glass cloth having a weave of twist yarns having a diameter of 0.1 mm and formed in meshes with lengthwise and crosswise lengths of 2.0 mm forming a prepreg having opposing faces; pressing the prepreg with resin-coated abrasive grain layers on each of the opposing faces of the prepreg in a press wherein resin-coated abrasive grains of the resin-coated abrasive grain layers have a largest intermediate circumference and are wholly and firmly conjugated in the meshes, wherein the largest intermediate circumference of the resin coated abrasive grains are placed within the meshes and whereby a surface of the resin coated abrasive grains extend through the weave of the glass cloth; and baking the prepreg with resin-coated abrasive grain layers on each of the opposing faces, whereby the rotary grindstone is capable of self-sharpening since the resin-coated abrasive grains are held by the largest intermediate circumference in the meshes and chip rather than fall off so that sharp cutting faces appear, grinding resistance decreases and grinding heat is considerably lower. ### Claim 3 (depends on 2) A method of manufacturing a rotary grindstone as in claim 2 wherein: the weave is selected from the group consisting of thirl plan weave, twill weave, and leno weave. ### Claim 4 (depends on 2) A rotary grindstone made according to the method of claim 2. ### Claim 5 A rotary grindstone having a central hole comprising: a glass cloth having a weave of twist yarns having a diameter of 0.1 mm and formed in meshes with lengthwise and crosswise lengths of 2.0 mm and opposing faces; resin impregnating said glass cloth; and resin coated abrasive grains covering the opposing faces, with each of said resin coated abrasive grains having a largest intermediate circumference held and conjugated in the meshes of the weave of said glass cloth, wherein a surface of said resin coated abrasive grains extends through the meshes on the opposing faces of said glass cloth so as to chip during grinding, whereby the rotary grindstone is capable of self-sharpening since the resin-coated abrasive grains chip rather than fall off during grinding so that sharp cutting faces appear, grinding resistance decreases and grinding heat is considerably lower.
