A method of conditioning a superabrasive hone mounted on a support drum, which comprises rotating the drum, rotating a diamond conditioning wheel, urging the conditioning wheel and the drum into contact with one another and axially traversing the conditioning wheel and the drum relative to one another. The improvement of the invention resides in that the surface speed of the hone on the drum is substantially greater than the surface speed of the diamond conditioning wheel so as to result in crushing of the vitrified bond and the superabrasive and in that the depth of cut and the speed of traverse are accurately controlled to determine the surface finish to be achieved by the hone in a workpiece. |
