摘要

A tool for sanding, grinding, or polishing ferrous or non-ferrous work pieces which includes a plurality of abrasive particles, such as silica sand or the like, embedded in a binder matrix formed primarily of polytetrafluoroethylene and equivalent polymers. The matrix may further include a stiffening agent for adding rigidity to the tool, such as ground glass.
