Claims1
A method for finishing and removal of a workpiece with a single disc, comprising:
- (a) rotating a succession of overlapping lamellas (3, 4) comprising sanding grains (9), characterized in that the lamellas (3, 4) are alternately formed of sanding lamellas (3) and compressible lamellas (4), said compressible lamellas (4) comprise non-woven fibres (10), each sanding lamella (3) rests on a compressible lamella (4), and the sanding lamellas (3) and the compressible lamellas (4) are fixed on a substantially round, disc-shaped support (2) where each lamella (3,4) comprises an exposed surface angled radially from the support (2), wherein each of the exposed surfaces of the lamellas (3,4) extend beyond the support and are formed by a short side (6) and a long side (7) of each lamella (3,4);
- (b) removing material by sanding with the succession of overlapping lamellas (3, 4) as the lamellas (3, 4) are pressed against the support (2);
- and
- (c) simultaneously finishing without using a second sanding element.
