Abstract

An abrasive tool includes a bonded abrasive body having abrasive grains contained within a bonding material, wherein the bonded abrasive body comprises a complex shape having a form depth (FD) of at least about 0.3. The form depth is described by the equation [(Rl−Rs)/Rl], wherein Rs is a smallest radius (Rs) at a point along the longitudinal axis of the bonded abrasive body and Rl is a largest radius (Rl) at a point along the longitudinal axis of the bonded abrasive body. The abrasive tool can be used to finish complex shapes in workpieces.
