Description of Abrasive Machining
Coated Abrasive Machining is an advanced type of high-pressure grinding that not only removes large amounts of stock quickly, but also produces very close tolerances and smooth finishes. Parts are first rough ground to desired size by removing large amounts of stock (roughing and shaping) and then finished to required tolerances and surface (dimensioning and finishing).

Abrasive machining is unique in that only flat surfaces can be processed. Many coated abrasive machining operations were formerly done on Mattison, Blanchard, and Besly grinders, using grinding wheels and/or bonded segments; or milling machines using milling cutters. At present, there are over 100 machines in use performing abrasive machining with coated abrasive belts.
