| Notice the
bottom few processes- Lapping and superfinishing are traditional abrasive
machining processes.� Electropolishing
is a non traditional process that�
comes close but is generally NOT as good a finish as the abrasives. |
|
| Also notice the
very small numbers with which we are dealing.�
Remember a human hair is about 40 microns.� In some cases we are machining to the
hundredth of a micron! |
