Patent ID: 7833088

Claim:
A method of using a cutting blade disk manufactured for cutting a hard material via a circumferential edge that extends between opposing radial surfaces of the disk, said method comprising the steps of: adapting the cutting blade for use with a tool that rotates the disk while exposing one of the radial surfaces of the disk, said adapting including: placing the other of the radial surfaces of the disk against an arbor having a radial surface with a radius that is about equal to the radius of the cutting blade, such that said arbor contacts an abrasive portion of the surface on the other of the radial surfaces, and attaching the disk to the arbor at a central portion of the arbor so as to force the disk against the arbor causing the disk to cup from the circumferential edge to the center of the disk; and using the rotating radial surface to remove material from a surface.
