    Abstract: A metal bond grind stone producing method in which electric power consumption is reduced is provided. In the metal bond grind stone producing method, a sintered metal bond grind stone is obtained by a sintering process of sintering a metal bond grind stone material that is a mixture of a metal binder powder and abrasive grains. In the sintering process, the metal bond grind stone material containing the metal binder powder is heated with microwaves to obtain the sintered metal bond grind stone. The sintering process may be a pressure sintering process of performing microwave heating while pressurizing the metal bond grind stone material.
