A method of recoating an abrasive tool, wherein the abrasive tool includes a main tool body, which has at least one accommodating surface for accommodating abrasive bodies, wherein the abrasive bodies are adhesively bonded to the accommodating surface by an adhesive. The method includes at least the following steps: degenerating the adhesive, detaching the worn-out abrasive bodies from the main tool body, detaching the degenerated adhesive from the main tool body, reapplying the adhesive; and recoating the main tool body with new abrasive bodies.

An abrasive tool can have a body including an abrasive portion with abrasive grains contained within a matrix material. A first reinforcing member can be contained within the body. The body can also include a porosity variation difference through at least half of a thickness of the body of not greater than 250% from a mean porosity of the body.
