2. Flapwheel - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flapwheel

   Flapwheel. Early radial flapwheel, for use with an electric drill. A flapwheel and the related flap disk is an abrasive disk, used for metal finishing. Unlike the simpler flat disks, made from a circular flat sheet of a coated abrasive, a flapwheel is made of multiple overlapping small pieces or 'flaps', bonded to a central hub.

3. Grinding wheel - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Grinding_wheel

   Grinding wheels are wheels that contain abrasive compounds for grinding and abrasive machining operations. Such wheels are also used in grinding machines. The wheels are generally made with composite material. This consists of coarse-particle aggregate pressed and bonded together by a cementing matrix (called the bond in grinding wheel ...

4. Polishing (metalworking) - Wikipedia

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

   The removal of oxidization (tarnish) from metal objects is accomplished using a metal polish or tarnish remover; this is also called polishing. To prevent further unwanted oxidization, polished metal surfaces may be coated with wax, oil, or lacquer. This is of particular concern for copper alloy products such as brass and bronze.

5. Lapidary - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lapidary

   Polishing is done with resin- or metal-bonded emery, silicon carbide (carborundum), aluminium oxide , or diamond dust in successively decreasing particle sizes until a polish is achieved. In older systems, the grinding and polishing powders were applied separately to the grinding or buffing wheel.

6. Diamond tool - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Diamond_tool

   A close-up of a segment of a diamond saw blade. A diamond tool is a cutting tool with diamond grains fixed on the functional parts of the tool via a bonding material or another method. As diamond is a superhard material, diamond tools have many advantages as compared with tools made with common abrasives such as corundum and silicon carbide.

7. Grinding (abrasive cutting) - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Grinding_(abrasive_cutting)

   Grinding is a subset of cutting, as grinding is a true metal-cutting process. Each grain of abrasive functions as a microscopic single-point cutting edge (although of high negative rake angle), and shears a tiny chip that is analogous to what would conventionally be called a "cut" chip (turning, milling, drilling, tapping, etc.) [citation needed].
