Abstract
A grinding tool is formed of a grinding shoe (1) and an actuator (2) that acts upon the grinding shoe (1) and is characterized by a horizontal displacement (H) acting essentially parallel to the surface (8) of a material (9) to be worked and a perpendicular to the surface (8). The grinding shoe (1) is resiliently mounted by a spring element (3) in a housing (4) enclosing the actuator (2). Two spaced cylindrical grinding rollers (5) provide guidance of a grinding means (6), such as a grinding or abrasive belt. By superimposing the displacement (H) with a perpendicular displacement (V) the efficiency of the grinding process is generally increased.
