Claim 17:
18. A method for manufacturing a flexible abrasive member comprising a substrate carrying a plurality of deposits with embedded abrasive particles, each deposit having an elongated continuous structure that extends along a center trajectory predominantly in a longitudinal direction across the substrate, said structure comprising inset portions and recessed portions that protrude in opposite transverse directions from the center trajectory, wherein the inset portions of a deposit are accommodated in recessed portions of a preceding deposit, and the recessed portions of the deposit accommodate inset portions of a following deposit, so that the inset portions and recessed portions of neighboring deposits mutually overlap in said transverse directions, wherein the elongated structure of each deposit comprises transverse segments which extend along the transverse directions and are mutually spaced in the longitudinal and transverse directions, and wherein the method comprises:
providing a substrate formed by a metallized wire mesh, and applying onto the substrate a plurality of film structures of electrically conductive material and having shapes corresponding to the elongated structures of the deposits;
forming the deposits with embedded abrasive particles onto the structured films via electrodeposition.
