POLISHING TOOL AND PROCESSING METHOD FOR MEMBER

摘要

The present invention relates to a polishing method for an article to be polished that has a designated shape, and specifically relates to a polishing method using a polishing tool characterized by having a polishing pad with a polishing surface shaped o correspond to the shape of a curved surface of the article to be polished, in order to efficiently and uniformly polish that curved surface. This polishing tool is characterized by having a polishing pad with a polishing surface corresponding to the curved surface of the article to be polished so as to come into uniform contact with the curved surface. The hardness of the polishing pad is at least 5 on the Shore A hardness scale and it is preferable for the surface material to comprise at least a fabric, a non-woven fabric, a resin-treated non-woven fabric, a synthetic leather, a synthetic resin foam, or a composite thereof. Moreover, this processing method is characterized in that the curved surface of the article to be polished is processed using a polishing tool having a polishing surface with a shape corresponding to the shape of the curved surface of the article to be polished so as to come into uniform contact with the curved surface.
