Abstract: An abrasive filter assembly with an integral dust collection system. The abrasive filter assembly comprises a porous element, a first filter media with channels, a second filter media, and an attachment interface layer. The openings of the porous element cooperate with the channels to allow the flow of particles from the porous element to the second filter media. The porous element can be an abrasive article or an attachment surface for an abrasive article.

Abstract: An abrasive article mounting assembly with an integral dust collection system. The abrasive attachment interface is configured to releasably engage and support an abrasive article, such as, for example, a porous abrasive sheet or disc.

Abstract: A porous abrasive article that allows air and dust particles to pass through. The abrasive article has a screen abrasive and a porous attachment interface. The screen abrasive has an abrasive layer comprising a plurality of erectly oriented abrasive particles and at least one binder. The porous attachment interface cooperates with the screen abrasive to allow the flow of particles through the abrasive article.

Abstract: An abrasive article and methods of making and using the same are disclosed. The abrasive article includes a particle impermeable back-up pad attached to an abrasive disc. The abrasive disc includes a plurality of perforations therethrough. When the abrasive article is moved and contacted against a workpiece, debris from the workpiece is captured between the back-up pad and workpiece.
