A method of manufacturing a rotary abrasive machining tool, the rotary abrasive machining tool comprising a hub and a plurality of abrasive segments mounted to the hub, the method comprising the steps of:
- mounting each abrasive segment with a recess on the hub that includes a plurality of protrusions, such that the recess of each abrasive segment is configured to mate with a corresponding one of the plurality of protrusions on the hub;
- and
- machining an abrading edge on each abrasive segment while said abrasive segment is mounted on the hub.
A method of manufacturing a rotary abrasive machining tool, the rotary abrasive machining tool comprising a hub and a plurality of abrasive segments mounted to the hub, the method comprising the steps of:
- mounting each abrasive segment on the hub;
- and
- machining an abrading edge on each abrasive segment while said abrasive segment is mounted on the hub,
- wherein the machining of the abrasive edge is one of:
- pulsed laser ablation;
- electrical discharge machining;
- water jet cutting, and
- wherein a plurality of abrasive segments are mounted in each slot.
