Abstract:

The patent application describes a fiber optics grinding and polishing disc comprising a circular planar base member having a plurality of discrete concentric sections of material bonded thereto. A central circular section is surrounded by additional contiguous concentric annular sections, each such section consisting of a mixture of epoxy and particle abrading or polishing material bonded to the circular planar base member to form a composite structure of substantially uniform thickness. Each of the sections provides a different degree of abrading or polishing capability.
