Abstract In this paper, a copper-resin bonded diamond wheel was applied to machine the optical glass on a precision grinder. The process of truing and pre-dressing with ELID (electrolytic in-process dressing) were first carried out for the grinding wheels, then the ELID assisted grinding experiments were conducted with the special fine and coarse grained diamond wheels. The experimental results show that the fine and coarse grained wheels can all generated the smooth surface with the surface roughness in nanometer scale and the coarse grained diamond wheel correlates to the slightly more surface damage than the fine grained diamond wheel, which also proves that the high efficient grinding of the optical glass with a good surface quality can be realized with the coarse grained copper-resin wheel on a precision grinder and the grinding wheels were all well conditioned with the conditioning method presented in this paper.
