A method of grinding a plurality of gears with a grinding wheel, each gear having a plurality (N) of tooth slots, said method comprising: grinding each of said plurality of tooth slots of each gear, dressing the grinding wheel after a specified number of gears have been ground in order to restore the original cutting condition of the grinding wheel, wherein a tooth slot is ground with no correction amount with respect to a zero correction baseline indicative of a slot of the gear being ground to a prescribed tooth slot depth expected when the grinding wheel is no more freshly-dressed but already in a conditioned state, such that grinding a first slot of a gear with the grinding wheel being in a conditioned state and having experienced no wear at this stage of the grinding process with no correction amount with respect to the zero correction baseline would result in the first slot being ground to the prescribed tooth slot depth, and, in order to address the continual wear of the grinding wheel, subsequent slots of said plurality of tooth slots are ground in accordance with a compensation amount with respect to the zero correction baseline for the respective subsequent tooth slots based upon continual wear of the grinding wheel, characterized in that , when grinding a gear immediately after a dressing process such that the grinding wheel is not in a conditioned state but freshly-dressed, for an initial number of said plurality of tooth slots ground, inclusive of a first slot ground, the grinding wheel is fed into each of said tooth slots of said initial number by a respective correction amount with respect to the zero correction so as to compensate for material removal effects of said grinding wheel due to said grinding wheel being freshly-dressed, such that the tooth slot ground with no correction amount with respect to the zero correction baseline is the tooth slot immediately subsequent to said initial number and wherein none of said plurality of tooth slots are reground. grinding each of said plurality of tooth slots of each gear, dressing the grinding wheel after a specified number of gears have been ground in order to restore the original cutting condition of the grinding wheel, wherein a tooth slot is ground with no correction amount with respect to a zero correction baseline indicative of a slot of the gear being ground to a prescribed tooth slot depth expected when the grinding wheel is no more freshly-dressed but already in a conditioned state, such that grinding a first slot of a gear with the grinding wheel being in a conditioned state and having experienced no wear at this stage of the grinding process with no correction amount with respect to the zero correction baseline would result in the first slot being ground to the prescribed tooth slot depth, and, in order to address the continual wear of the grinding wheel, subsequent slots of said plurality of tooth slots are ground in accordance with a compensation amount with respect to the zero correction baseline for the respective subsequent tooth slots based upon continual wear of the grinding wheel, characterized in that , when grinding a gear immediately after a dressing process such that the grinding wheel is not in a conditioned state but freshly-dressed, for an initial number of said plurality of tooth slots ground, inclusive of a first slot ground, the grinding wheel is fed into each of said tooth slots of said initial number by a respective correction amount with respect to the zero correction so as to compensate for material removal effects of said grinding wheel due to said grinding wheel being freshly-dressed, such that the tooth slot ground with no correction amount with respect to the zero correction baseline is the tooth slot immediately subsequent to said initial number and wherein none of said plurality of tooth slots are reground. <EOS>
