Abrasive material machining is becoming increasingly significant across many different businesses and not only the engineering sector. Tight tolerances are possible due to the procedures employed to manufacture well-controlled surfaces of high quality. Tough materials can also be machined.

The individual cutting edges in abrasive machining have a random distribution and direction in contrast to conventional cutting techniques. Since microscopic particles provide the cutting edge, the depth of engagement must also be minimal. These characteristics lead to varied chip production since any given grain may come into contact with the work at a positive, zero, or, in most cases, a negative rake angle. As a result, particles may simply distort the surface, plough into it, or produce chips.
