Abstract:
A grinding tool to be driven by a rotating machine drive comprising:(a) a carrier body in the form of a disk ring comprising a center sleeve and a collar flange projecting approximately radially from the sleeve, said disk ring being adapted to be coupled for rotation along an axis of rotation to the machine drive at approximately the center of rotation and having at least one working side, said disk ring being thin enough to permit a peripheral area of said disk ring to elastically yield in a transverse plane relative to said disk ring; (b) a grinding element comprising at least first and second disk layers resting against each other radially disposed in relation to the axis of rotation on said at least one working side, said first layer extending radially beyond an outer edge at said carrier body, said second layer having an outside diameter such that the second layer projects beyond an outer edge of the first layer by a predetermined amount greater than the thickness of the first layer.
