Abstract
Abstract A cutting master for total form abrasion machining a predetermined shape in a friable material including a body having a surface which is substantially the mirror image of a shape to be machined by abrasion, which surface is abrasive, is different in size from the shape to be abrasion machined by a predetermined amount, and includes a flat portion having a dimension related to the difference in size between the predetermined shape and the abrasive surface.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 4
Claim 1
Independent Claim
161 words
The method of forming a cutting master for total form abrasion machining of a predetermined form in carbon or the like having a predetermined exact size comprising producing a surface on a body of rigid material which is substantially a mirror image of the predetermined form to be machined and different in size from said predetermined exact size by a predetermined exact amount and making the surface abrasive wherein the cutting master is formed by placing a soft, easily deposited metal on a model of a form to be total form abrasion machined to form a mirror image of the form, placing an electrode material over the mirror image so formed to provide an electrode of the form to be abrasion machined, machining an oversize form in a metal which is easily electro-erosion machined with the electrode, casting a mold pattern from the oversize form and casting cutting masters of a settable material having abrasive particles therein over the mold pattern.
Claim 2
Independent Claim
161 words
The method of forming a cutting master for total form abrasion machining of a predetermined form in carbon or the like having a predetermined exact size comprising producing a surface on a body of rigid material which is substantially a mirror image of the predetermined form to be machined and different in size from said predetermined exact size by a predetermined exact amount and making the surface abrasive wherein the cutting master is formed by placing a soft, easily deposited metal on a model of a form to be total form abrasion machined to form a mirror image of the form, placing an electrode material over the mirror image so formed to provide an electrode of the form to be abrasion machined, machining an oversize form in a metal which is easily electro-erosion machined with the electrode, casting a mold pattern from the oversize form and casting cutting masters of a settable material having abrasive particles therein over the mold pattern.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
32 words
The method as set forth in claim 1 wherein the soft metal is easily sprayed and the soft metal is sprayed on the model of the total form to be abrasion machined.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
31 words
The method as set forth in claim 1 wherein the electrode material is sprayed over the mirror image so formed to produce an electrode of the form to be abrasion machined.
