Abstract: Apparatus for polishing a workpiece wherein an oversize resilient elastomeric polishing die has injector ports through which a viscous or elastic polishing medium is injected. The workpiece is mounted in vertical working alignment with respect to the polishing die. The die and workpiece are moved relative to one another in a horizontal oscillatory rotary motion as they are brought together in the vertical direction such that the workpiece surfaces are polished. The workpiece is heated to enhance the polishing efficiency.

Abstract: An abrading apparatus for shaping electric discharge machining electrodes wherein an abrading die is provided with a thin coating of electrically conductive material. The conductive coating and the electrode workpiece are electrically coupled to a switching means to provide a zero reference output signal when the die and workpiece are first driven into contact with one another.
Abstract: Improved apparatus for shaping electrodes wherein an abrasive die member is driven into contact with an electrode workpiece member while the die and workpiece members are oscillated with respect to one another in the horizontal plane and wherein the relative vertical motion of the die and workpiece members is controlled as a function of the relative vertical position thereof.
