A polishing apparatus capable of forming a step-shaped recess having a right-angled cross section in an edge portion of a substrate, such as a wafer, is disclosed. The polishing apparatus includes: a substrate rotating device configured to rotate the substrate about a rotation axis; a first roller having a first circumferential surface configured to press a polishing tape against the edge portion of the substrate; and a second roller having a second circumferential surface in contact with the first circumferential surface. The second roller has a tape stopper surface that restricts movement of the polishing tape in a direction away from the rotation axis. The tape stopper surface is located radially outward of the first circumferential surface.

An oscillating device of a belt sander is disclosed. The belt sander includes a base, a rotating unit, an oscillating unit, and a control unit. The rotating unit is disposed on one side of the base. The rotating unit includes a motor and a roller. The oscillating unit is disposed on the other side of the base. The oscillating member includes a rolling wheel and an electric motor. The motor and the electric motor drive the roller and the rolling wheel to rotate, and the control unit controls the oscillation frequency of the electric motor. The service life of the motor and the electric motor can be prolonged, thereby improving the working efficiency of the belt sander.

This disclosure relates to a belt grinder includes frame and first grinding assembly. The first grinding assembly includes transmission roller set, grinding belt and adjusting assembly. The transmission roller set includes driving roller and driven roller. Both the driving roller and the driven roller are rotatably disposed on the frame. The grinding belt is installed over the driving roller and the driven roller. The adjusting assembly includes rotatable component and contact rollers. The rotatable component is rotatably disposed on the frame. Rotation axis of the rotatable component is parallel to rotation axis of the driving roller. The contact rollers are rotatably disposed on the rotatable component. Contact rollers are different in shape. The rotatable component is rotatable with respect to the frame so as to force one of the contact rollers to contact or to be separated from the grinding belt.

A microfinishing machine and method especially adapted for processing of internal combustion engine crankshafts and other workpieces. Microfinishing is achieved by tooling having abrasive inserts or which present abrasive coated film against the journal to be machined. The tooling has a width less than one-half the length of the journal being machined. The narrow width tooling allows a range of workpiece configurations to be processed with common tooling, and through control of one or more of machining parameters including clamping pressure acting on the tooling, oscillation of the tooling, and stroking schedule of the tooling, desired journal contour profiles can be produced.
