ABSTRACT OF THE DISCLOSURE A grinding system is controlled by (1) determining the exact nature of a power function relationship between (a) the rate at which material is removed from one of the surfaces at a rubbing interface and (b) the feed rate at which the rubbing surfaces are fed into each other, for a particular grinding operation, i,e., a particular grinding wheel and other specified conditions affecting the rate of material removal at the rubbing interface; and (2) controlling, measuring or setting the material removal rate or the feed rate in such a grinding operation in accordance with said power function relationship. In one embodiment for grinding a workpiece at a desired grind rate GR while simultaneously truing the grinding wheel, the control system includes the steps of determining the relationship between the wear rate R'wg of said grinding wheel and the feed rate Fw at which said grinding wheel is fed into said workpiece; grinding said workpiece with said grinding wheel while simultaneously truing the grinding wheel with a truing element; determining the wheel wear rate R'wg (at the grinding interface) corresponding to the desired grind rate GR from the previously determined relationship between R'wg and Fw; advancing the grinding wheel toward the workpiece at a controlled rate Fws which is approximately equal to the sum of the desired grinding rate GR, the corresponding wheel wear rate R'wg (at the grinding interface), and the rate R'wt of reduction in the wheel radius at the truing interface; and feeding the truing roll toward the grinding wheel, on the opposite, side of said wheel from the workpiece, at a controlled rate Fts which is approximately equal to the sum of R'wg and R'wt.
