Abstract
A coated abrasive article includes a backing having a surface, a plurality of abrasive regions overlying the surface in each of the first and second portions, and at least one macro-channel. The surface of the backing has a shape defined by an outer contour. A bisecting axis divides the shape into first and second portions. Each abrasive region includes a binder and a plurality of abrasive grains in contact with the binder. The abrasive grains have an average grain size of not greater than about 200 microns. The at least one macro-channel defines a passageway extending between a pair of adjacent abrasive regions and terminating at openings at the outer contour within each of the first and second portions. The macro-channel has an average channel width of between about 0.1 millimeters to about 5 millimeters and is substantially free of the binder and the abrasive grains.
