Abstract: A method of manufacturing an abrasive member, in particular having the general shape of a disc such as a cutting or grinding disc, comprises arranging a reinforcing insert or reinforcing member into a mold between a layer of curable abrasive resin compound, in particular a layer of curable abrasive granulate, a backing member such that at least a section of the reinforcing insert or reinforcing member is in direct physical contact with the curable abrasive resin compound, the reinforcing insert or reinforcing member is at least partially covered by the backing member and at least a section of the backing member is in direct physical contact with the curable abrasive resin compound; bonding the reinforcing insert or reinforcing member and the backing member by curing the curable abrasive resin compound, wherein the cured abrasive resin compound forms an abrasive layer of the abrasive member.

Abstract: A surface finishing implement, such as a wire brush, cup brush, grinding wheel, or cut-off disk, configured for mounting to rotary power tools having a plurality of different types or sizes of mounting arrangements. One implement has a fixed power tool coupling arrangement configured for threadable mounting to a power tool arbor and a removable power tool coupling adapter configured for mounting to a quick-change coupler, preferably one of a quick-connect clamping and twist-lock coupling mechanism, of a power tool. Another implement is configured with a plurality of threaded arbor coupling arrangements configured to enable mounting of the implement to rotary power tools equipped with arbors having different diameters with one of the arbor coupling arrangements being a removable arbor coupling insert that threads into another one of the arbor coupling arrangements fixed to the implement. One implement includes the adapter, removable arbor coupling insert, and fixed arbor coupling arrangement.
