<p>The present invention supplies coolant to a grinding wheel surface and reliably guides the coolant to a grinding point on the grinding wheel surface, thereby significantly reducing the amount of coolant to be used. In a grinding method and device for supplying coolant while grinding a workpiece W with a rotating grinding wheel 1, a fluid nozzle 2 is disposed upstream from a grinding point 11 on the circumferential surface 10 of the grinding wheel 1. The fluid nozzle 2 blows a jet of fluid across an air layer 12, which is a layer of flowing air dragged along the circumferential surface 10 of the grinding wheel 1, from one lateral side of the air layer 12 to the other lateral side of the air layer 12. A grinding fluid nozzle 3 is supplies coolant to a region between the grinding point 11 and a cutoff position 13 at which the fluid jet from the fluid nozzle 2 has deflected the air flow from the air layer 12. The coolant supplied from the grinding fluid nozzle 3 contacts the grinding point 11 on the grinding surface 10. <IMAGE></p> |
