METHOD OF MANUFACTURING AN ABRASIVE MEMBER, IN PARTICULAR ROTARY ABRASIVE DISC AND ABRASIVE MEMBER, IN PARTICULAR ROTARY ABRASIVE DISC

摘要

A method of manufacturing an abrasive member (10a, 10), in particular having the general shape of a disc such as a cutting or grinding disc, comprises -arranging a reinforcing insert or reinforcing member (24, 13) into a mold be- tween a layer of curable abrasive resin compound, in particular a layer of cur- able abrasive granulate, a backing member(16)such that at least a section of the reinforcing insert or reinforcing member(24, 13) is in direct physical con- tact with the curable abrasive resin compound,the reinforcing insertor rein- forcing member (24, 13) is at least partially covered by the backing mem- ber (16) and at least a section of the backing member(16) is in direct physical contact with the curable abrasive resin compound; -bonding the reinforcing insertor reinforcing member (24, 13) and the back- ing member(16) by curing the curable abrasive resin compound, wherein the cured abrasive resin compoundforms an abrasive layer(12) of the abrasive member(10).
