This study introduces innovative abrasive tools with discontinuous surface carriers and abrasive layers to enhance surface finishing processes. The research focuses on developing prototypes of non-continuous abrasive films with varying grain sizes (30–5 μm) to explore their effectiveness in improving material removal efficiency and surface quality. The results show that discontinuities in the abrasive films significantly influence the finishing process, leading to better surface quality and reduced risk of deep scratches. Longitudinal discontinuities facilitate faster removal of irregularities from the workpiece, while oscillatory tool motion enhances surface smoothing. The study also highlights the importance of tool motion patterns in optimizing material removal and surface quality. The integration of discontinuities with oscillatory motion shows promise for further improving surface quality. The findings contribute to a deeper understanding of abrasive machining processes and provide insights for optimizing abrasive tool designs and machining strategies. The research demonstrates that abrasive films with discontinuities can reduce surface roughness and improve finishing quality, particularly in applications requiring high precision. Additionally, the use of such tools can reduce material consumption and environmental impact. The study also shows that discontinuities in the abrasive films help in the efficient removal of loose abrasive grains, reducing the risk of deep scratches on surfaces. The results indicate that discontinuous abrasive tools can significantly improve surface finishing efficiency and quality, making them valuable for industrial applications. The research also emphasizes the importance of considering carrier irregularities in abrasive tool design to achieve optimal surface finishes. The study concludes that the use of discontinuous abrasive films with specific patterns can lead to better surface quality and more efficient machining processes. The findings suggest that future abrasive tool designs should incorporate discontinuities to enhance surface finishing outcomes. The research also highlights the potential of discontinuous abrasive tools in reducing material consumption and improving sustainability in manufacturing processes. Overall, the study presents a new approach to surface finishing using discontinuous abrasive films, which can lead to more efficient and high-quality surface finishing in various industries.This study introduces innovative abrasive tools with discontinuous surface carriers and abrasive layers to enhance surface finishing processes.
