Claim:
1. A device for grinding solid workpieces, comprising: a grinding wheel; a bearing for the rotatable mounting of the grinding wheel about an axis of rotation; a grinding wheel drive, which is coupled to the grinding wheel, for rotating the grinding wheel, wherein the bearing is fastened to a pivotable and displaceable bearing carrier, wherein the bearing plane of the bearing is pivotable in any desired directions with respect to an initial plane and is displaceable in an initial direction perpendicular to the initial plane; actuators coupled to the bearing carrier in order to pivot and displace the bearing carrier; and a digital control unit that controls and synchronizes the actuators such that the surface of the grinding wheel creates a freely-definable face about a positionally fixed reference point which is at a radial distance from the center point of the grinding wheel.
