Abstract
A method for trimming or dressing the filaments of abrasive finishing tools to an exact and uniform length to create a precision face by means of a rotatable turntable having a cutting surface upon which a finishing tool may be axially mounted and fixedly engaged. A circular cutting blade positionally adjustable relative to the filament ends, trims the filaments by cutting action of the blade in compressive contact with the filaments against a slightly yieldable cutting surface upon rotation of the turntable, the cutting blade counter rotating without power and being self-sharpened upon contact with the abrasive filaments.
