To provide a device and method for grinding cutting tools by which any concave and complex profiles can be ground with the same grinding wheel.
In the case of the grinding wheel (1) for grinding cutting tools and in the case of a tool grinding machine using such grinding wheels, the circumference of the grinding wheel (1) is formed as a peripheral ridge (5) with roof sides (3a, 3b) converging toward it, each having abrasive coats (7a, 7b). Concave radii of a surface contour region (14) of the cutting tool can be ground with the ridge (5) and/or one of the roof sides (3a, 3b) and all the convex contour regions can be ground with one of the two roof sides (3a, 3b). Dressing of such a grinding wheel (1) can be done with the same machine tool that is used for grinding the tool.
