Sanding Process

  • 665 Accesses

Part of the Design Science and Innovation book series (DSI)

Abstract

The sanding process is the process of smoothening and flattening the surface of the workpiece using coated abrasive. It is a necessary operation not only to remove surface blemishes, but also to prepare the surface for the subsequent application of finishes or coatings.
