Abstract (en)

The large-diameter portion grinding wheel (7) is rotated and controlled by the drive mechanism, and the small-diameter portion grinding wheel (8) is independently rotated and controlled by the drive mechanism (12a,12b) and moved radially in the direction of arrow. The large-diameter portion is centerless-ground by the regulating wheel (9), grinding wheel and the work support blade. The small-diameter portion is supported by the shoe (10) and the blade, and centerless-ground by the grinding wheel fed in the direction of arrow while the end face of the large-diameter portion can be ground. Thus, there can be provided an improved method of centerless grinding for a stepped work and an improved centerless grinding machine, which can solve the problem of the slip caused by the difference in peripheral speed between the large- and small-diameter portion grinding wheels (7,8), and permits a precision grinding and a grinding of the end face at the stepped portion as necessary. Further, by axial traversing of the large-diameter portion grinding wheel (7) or of the work (1), the boundary between the large- and small-diameter portions can be ground without any unfinishing. <IMAGE>
