Bones, which are hard tissues in the human body, are frequently removed during spine, joint, and brain surgeries. Diamond grinding wheels are widely used for the careful removal of bones during surgeries such as an endoscopic surgery. However, the wheels generate a considerable amount of heat, causing thermal damage, such as thermal bone necrosis and thermal injury to adjacent tissues. Considerable research has been conducted to suppress this heat generation using #120–#200 (grit size) wheels; notably, #30–#120 wheels are often used in actual surgeries to reduce the operating time. In this study, the bone grinding characteristics associated with a temperature increase were studied when using a coarse-grained wheel, i.e., a #30 wheel. Results showed that the temperature increased owing to the large grain size of the wheel. Furthermore, a decrease in the rotation speed of the wheel effectively suppressed the temperature increase. Consequently, an increase in the grain depth of cut and a decrease in the generated frictional heat between bone and grains effectively suppressed the temperature increase.
