Insert for an abrasive tool

摘要

A method is provided for producing two or more inserts for an abrasive tool. Each insert includes an abrasive compact layer bonded to a support layer along an interface which has a discontinuity in the form of at least one recess extending into one of the layers. The method includes the steps of providing a composite abrasive compact having an abrasive compact layer bonded to a support layer along an interface which has a discontinuity in the form of at least one recess extending into one of the layers and severing the composite abrasive compact along planes transverse to the interface through or around the recess or recesses to produce two or more of the inserts.
