The generating mechanism of the elastically produced errors had been clarified in the first report. There remain, however, some questions about optimum grinding conditions, under which the appointed accuracy can be obtained most efficiently. In this report, from such a viewpoint, the authors introduced the profile improving coefficient and the residual stock removal coefficient which showed the variation of profile errors in traverse grinding. The effects of grinding conditions on the profile errors were analytically investigated with these coefficients, and the results of the analysis were compared with the experimental results. Operating methods to prevent the profile errors on the end of a workpiece were also studied. And, it was shown that the limitation of the over-run of wheel and the adequate time of the dwell were considerably useful for improving the accuracy of workpieces and the grinding efficiency.
