Abstract

A polishing tool component comprises a carrier and a plurality of spaced abrasive elements located in a surface of the carrier. Each abrasive element presents a working surface having a perimeter which is circular, polygon or of like non-elongate shape, and comprises a mass of abrasive particles such as diamond or cubic boron nitride uniformly dispersed in a bonding matrix. The bonding matrix may be metal, ceramic or polymeric. The working surfaces of the elements together define a working surface for the component. The working surfaces may be located in the surface in which the elements are located, or project beyond that surface.
