Abstract
Abstract An abrasive body for machining a workpiece including an abrasive compact comprising a mass of abrasive particles such as diamond and cubic boron nitride, present in an amount of at least 70 percent by volume of the compact, bonded into a hard conglomerate; support means covering more than 50 percent of the surface of the compact and bonded to the compact; and the compact presenting a formation, salient in relation to the support means, capable of machining the workpiece. Preferred configurations for the body are those in which the compact is sandwiched between two supports and a cylinder of compact inside a supporting sleeve.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 23
Claim 1
Independent Claim
128 words
An abrasive body for abrading or machining a workpiece including an abrasive compact comprising a mass of diamond or cubic boron nitride abrasive particles, present in an amount of at least 70 percent by volume of the compact, bonded into a hard conglomerate; support means of high rigidity covering more than 50 percent of the surface of the compact and attached to the compact; the compact presenting a major surface on each of opposite sides thereof and to which the support means is attached, the support means extending over substantially the whole of the one major surface and over at least a part of the other major surface; and the compact presenting a formation salient in relation to the support means, capable of abrading or machining the workpiece.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
128 words
