Polishing and brushing techniques for cylindrical and contoured surfaces

A non-transitory computer readable storage medium storing instructions that, when executed by a processor, cause the processor to implement a method for cutting and machining a substrate, the method comprising:

• performing a first cutting operation at a cutting surface of the substrate secured with a first spindle to define an interior recess, the first cutting operation comprising a contact cycle between the cutting surface and a first cutting tool, the contact cycle including 1) engaging the substrate at the cutting surface with the first cutting tool to remove material from the substrate, and 2) disengaging the cutting surface from the first cutting tool to allow dissipation of at least some heat generated from the engaging the cutting surface with the first cutting tool;
• transitioning the substrate from the first spindle to a second spindle;
• securing the substrate with the second spindle at the interior recess;
• and
• performing a second cutting operation with a second cutting tool engaging the substrate secured with the second spindle to define an exterior region of the substrate.
