A wheel brush (1) includes a grinding element bundle holder (3) having an annular grinding element bundle-holding surface (12) that faces the outer circumferential side and a plurality of grinding element bundles (4) that are formed by gathering a plurality of wire-shaped grinding elements (5). The grinding element bundle-holding surface (12) has a plurality of holding holes (16) arrayed in a circumferential direction (R), the grinding element bundles (4) protrude to the outer circumferential side from the grinding element bundle-holding surface (12) while one end portions are inserted into the holding holes (16). First protrusions (18) protruding to the outer circumferential direction are provided on first opening edge portions (17a) adjacent to the holding holes 16 at a first direction (L1) side in the rotational center line direction orthogonal to the circumferential direction R (R) in opening edges of the holding holes (16) in the grinding element bundle-holding surface (12). The first protrusions (18) are continuous in the circumferential direction R (R) to configure an annular first flange portion (19).

An abrasive tool includes a support, on which a plurality of abrasive flaps is arranged. The abrasive flaps each have a base and abrasive material, which is attached to the base by means of a binder. To increase the useful life and total material abrasion, the abrasive flaps are reinforced by a cured filling resin. The reinforcement of the abrasive flaps reduces the cyclical deflection thereof around a zero position due to workpiece machining, thereby avoiding increased wear on the abrasive flaps.

Object: To provide a grinding wheel and a method of manufacturing a grinding wheel having added value while providing a suppressed manufacturing cost. Solution Means: The grinding wheel is a grinding wheel including an abrasive portion including nonwoven fabric, wherein the abrasive portion includes an outer peripheral portion formed with the nonwoven fabric including abrasive grains on an outer peripheral side, and an inner peripheral portion formed with the nonwoven fabric not including the abrasive grains, and a ratio of a thickness in a radial direction of the outer peripheral portion to a thickness in a radial direction of the abrasive portion is from 3% to 60%.

A bilateral abrasive disc pad is provided comprising a cylindrical mounting section, an inner annular section, and an outer annular section to which abrasive flaps are attached in an overlapping relationship. The cylindrical mounting section has a central screw-threaded mounting hole for threadedly connecting to a threaded driven shaft of a grinder. The outer annular section of one side is flat, while the outer annular section of the opposing side is convex. The cylindrical mounting section is substantially thicker than the outer annular section such that the ratio of the mass of the outer annular section to the mass of the combination of the cylindrical mounting section and the inner annular section is 2 to 1 or less. Such thickening of the central mounting section reduces runoff and vibration caused by uneven wear of the abrasive flaps and allows the pad to be securely attached to the shaft of the grinder without the need for a mounting nut.

The invention relates to the machining of materials and can be used for removing flaws from various surfaces, particularly from housings, sheets and cast parts, as well as for removing coatings and rust. A lobed buffing wheel comprises lobes of a buffing material that includes an abrasive material on an elastic substrate, said lobes being fastened to a drive shaft. The lobes of buffing material are created from flat geometric shapes that are bent with the abrasive material facing outward to form a three-dimensional shape, and are fastened to the drive shaft by the bent fastening side. This provides for more efficient buffing of complex-shaped parts by increasing the area of contact between the buffing surfaces and the part.
