The article shows that during the grinding of complex profile blades of metal cutting tools from tool steels, unfavorable thermodynamic conditions are created in the cutting zone and, as a result, grinding burns and cracks occur on the surface of the polished workpiece. One of the methods of controlling the temperature in the cutting zone at the final grinding operations is the use of grinding wheels with a discontinuous surface. The method of calculating the profile of the discontinuous surface of the grinding wheel presented in the article makes it possible to determine its geometric parameters taking into account the wear resistance of the grinding wheel and the heat stress of the process of treatment. The results of the verification of the proposed technique in the production conditions are given which showed that the treatment of the teeth of the broaches with a grinding wheel with a discontinuous profile, in comparison with the machining of broaches according to the traditional technology, provides a higher quality of blade surfaces, while the process productivity, compared with the factory technology, increased by 20...26%.
