  • Patent number: 12263556
    Abstract: An abrasive composition including a substrate with perforations. The perforations may have curved edges and different shapes. Abrasive particles to be brazed to the substrate are sprinkled over the molten braze on the surface of the substrate, including on the curved edges of the perforations. The perforations provide a view of the work surface for the user and reduce noise, and also provide places for work surface debris to collect for later removal. The shape of the substrate itself may include particular surface areas intended for specific abrasion tasks, such as flat surfaces with different grades of abrasive particles and small radius edges for use as a cutting tool.
