This paper addresses efforts to optimize fine grinding wheels to support new generation computer-numeric-controlled (CNC) equipment for the optics manufacturing industry. An approach is presented for improving the linkage between users and makers of fine diamond grinding wheels. The proposal includes a voluntary product standard that uses performance indicators to link user requirements and wheel formulations without compromising proprietary information of either party. In addition, technologies that might be required to achieve optimized grinding wheels are addressed.
