[0030] Pieces 28,30 are abrasive and of generally conventional construction.
[0031] Coupler 32 is glass bead reinforced nylon 66 or nylon 66 and has a 3/8 -16 UNC thread 60 (not shown) at one end and an opposing R LOK external thread 62 (not shown).
[0032] Hub 34 is plastic with S LOK internal thread. Hubs 40 and 42 are steel with S LOK internal thread.
[0033] Hubs 36, 38 are steel.
[0034] Mandrels 44, 46 are steel, each having a shaft at one end and a thread at the other. The thread of 44 is one and the same as the thread of 34 or 36. The thread of 46 is a 3/8 - 16 UNC thread.
[0035] Retaining washer 48 is steel. Nut 50 is steel or reinforced nylon 66.
Both are adapted to grippingly receive a 3/8 - 16 UNC thread.
Both are adapted to grippingly receive a 3/8 - 16 UNC thread.
[0036] Adapters 52 and 54 are industry standard and will be seen to have, at one end, a shaft, and at the other end a socket. Socket 54 is threaded to receive coupler 32. Socket 52 has a threaded rod that is adapted to threadingly receive hub 34, 40, 42 or 36.
METHODS
Embodiment 1
METHODS
Embodiment 1
[0037] This embodiment utilizes backer disc 22, adhesive 56, a plurality of abrasive pieces 28 and mandrel 46.
[0038] As an initial step in the method, the plurality of abrasive pieces 28 are secured to one another and to disk 22 by adhesive 56, as indicated by FIG. 3, and cured at elevated temperatures to form an abrasive body 58, as shown in FIG.
4.
As the backer disc has a bore, a plurality of abrasive bodies can, advantageously, be cured on a spindle, as shown in FIG. 5. The attachment of abrasive pieces is a matter of routine to persons of ordinary skill in the art and as such, a detailed description thereof is neither required nor provided.

Other variations
Other variations
[0050] Abrasive disc 26 can be used in substitution for disk 22 or 24, if desired.
To do so, coupler 32 is passed through the central bore of disc 26 and captured by nut 50, as indicated by FIG. 16, or by retaining washer 48 as indicated by FIG. 17.
