ABRASIVE ARTICLE AND ADAPTER THEREFORE

摘要

An abrasive article and an adapter therefore are disclosed. The abrasive article comprises a backing and an abrasive coating on a surface of the backing, and has a centre point and a periphery and the abrasive coating forming a work surface. A plurality of holes extending through the backing and the abrasive coating are provided, through which particulate material may be extracted. The work surface is divided into at least a first inner and a second outer zone, the second zone being concentric with the first and the centre point. Each zone has at least one hole, wherein in each of the first and the second zone the sizes of the holes and their total number forms a hole density for that respective zone. The hole density of the first zone is less than the hole density of the second zone. The adapter has the mounting surface for the abrasive article adapted in a similar manner.
