2. Grinding Wheel-Profiling Machine PM 550T (Dressing machine) is utilized for profiling of grinding wheels for threaded wheel grinding machines; profile grinding machines; bevel gear grinding machines; rack grinding machines; surface and circular grinding machines; honing rings for gear honing machines; and balancing of grinding wheels.
