A magnetic transducing core having a transducing face defined by planes whose surfaces comprise substantially parts of ferrite grains, and a method for producing this core. The method involves proper selection of the grit size and binder of a diamond grinding wheel, machining its sides to precise parallelism with each other, mounting it on a highly accurate air bearing, rotating it at high speed, and feeding a work piece ferrite bar from which the core is cut into the rotating wheel. These techniques prevent axial run-out between the edge of the cutting portion of the wheel and the work piece greater than 2.5 microns. A preferred embodiment includes a high pressure jet of coolant impinging on the wheel just ahead of the cutting interface. |
