Abstract

A grinding pin (53) for grinding notches in the edges of disc workpieces, such as semi-conductor wafers, comprises a metal spindle (132) for mounting in a grinding machine, and an adjoining cylindrical region having axially spaced sections of fine grit (160) and rough grit (162), the latter being axially nearer the spindle (132). In use on a grinding machine having a rotatable forming wheel, similar profiled notch-grinding grooves (140) and (142) are formed by the wheel in the grinding sections (162) and (160) respectively.
