Surface polishing relies on fine abrasives to remove material from a surface, producing a blemish-free finish. Polishing can incorporate specialized lapping plates, abrasive films, or polishing cloths applied to the workpiece surface at low speeds. There are two surface polishing methods for glass workpieces: single or double-sided. When determining whether single-sided polishing or double-sided polishing is ideal for an application, it is vital to consider the application and glass part design.
