No matter how hard we try, it is virtually impossible to obtain perfect, flawless pieces of ware from the kiln every time. Kiln dirt, decal and decorating faults, and forming imperfections often appear on the surface of the ware, and these flaws must be corrected before the quality of the piece will be acceptable for sale. In many conventional operations, highly skilled workers use grinding lathes and polishing stones to remove surface imperfections from ceramic and glass products. However, this process is time-consuming and costly, and it can be difficult to find workers with enough experience to carry out these tasks successfully. As a result, a number of companies have instead begun using a double-arm, bench-mounted abrasive belt grinder-a machine that carries out both the grinding and polishing tasks in a single unit. With the use of this system, companies can save time and money while ensuring that the products shipped from their facility are of the highest possible quality.
