THIS PAPER DESCRIBES THE PROCESS USING ONE OR TWO SILICON CARBIDE GRINDING DISCS MADE WITH A FLEXIBLE BOND. THE WORKPIECES ARE GUIDED IN WORK HOLDERS IN A BATCH MODE WHERE NO TWO WORKPIECES ARE ALLOWED TO TOUCH EACH OTHER. THE PROCESS IS UNIQUE IN THAT IT QUICKLY PRODUCES A VERY UNIFORM EDGE ROUNDING ON A QUANTITY OF PARTS. THE PROCESS IS DRY, QUIET, AND REPEATABLE. THE EDGE ROUNDING IS IN THE SHAPE OF A COMPOUND CURVE RATHER THAN A TRUE RADIUS, THUS MAKING THE EDGE STRONGER AND MORE EFFECTIVE FOR ITS APPLICATION. A DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE ABRASIVE ACTION, THE MACHINE, WORK HOLDERS FOR FLAT WORK, AND CYLINDRICAL WORK IS COVERED. IN ADDITION, LIMITATIONS AND ACTUAL PRODUCTION REPORTS ON EDGE HONING ARE INCLUDED.
