  2. Lapping - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lapping

    Lapping machine. Lapping is a machining process in which two surfaces are rubbed together with an abrasive between them, by hand movement or using a machine. Lapping often follows other subtractive processes with more aggressive material removal as a first step, such as milling and/or grinding. Lapping can take two forms.

  4. Polishing (metalworking) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Polishing_(metalworking)

    While used less extensively than traditional mechanical polishing, electropolishing is an alternative form of polishing that uses the principles of electrochemistry to remove microscopic layers of metal from a base surface. [3] This method of polishing can be fine-tuned to give a wide range of finishes, from matte to mirror-bright.

    Google Latitude was a feature that let users share their physical locations with other people. This service was based on Google Maps, specifically on mobile devices. There was an iGoogle widget for desktops and laptops as well. [176] Some concerns were expressed about the privacy issues raised by the use of the service. [177]

  6. Surface grinding - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Surface_grinding

    Surface grinding is done on flat surfaces to produce a smooth finish. It is a widely used abrasive machining process in which a spinning wheel covered in rough particles ( grinding wheel ) cuts chips of metallic or nonmetallic substance from a workpiece, making a face of it flat or smooth.

  7. Knife sharpening - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Knife_sharpening

    Knife sharpening is the process of making a knife or similar tool sharp by grinding against a hard, rough surface, typically a stone, [1] or a flexible surface with hard particles, such as sandpaper. Additionally, a leather razor strop , or strop, is often used to straighten and polish an edge.

  8. Belt grinding - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Belt_grinding

    Belt grinding is an abrasive machining process used on metals and other materials. It is typically used as a finishing process in industry. A belt, coated in abrasive material, is run over the surface to be processed in order to remove material or produce the desired finish.

  9. Polishing - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Polishing

    Polishing is the process of creating a smooth and shiny surface by rubbing it or by applying a chemical treatment, leaving a clean surface with a significant specular reflection (still limited by the index of refraction of the material according to the Fresnel equations). [1]
