A flexible abrasive member is formed by applying a layer of metal (13;15,16) to mesh material (12). Abrasive material (14) is embedded in the metal layer during the deposition of the layer by an electrodeposition process. The mesh material may be electrically non-conducting woven material and the metal layer is deposited through the mesh material. In making the member the mesh material is laid on a smooth, preferably curvilinear, surface (10) formed with areas (11) for receiving the metal layer. Abrasive material is introduced onto the surface at the beginning of the metal deposition process or towards the end of the deposition process. |
