A method of removing material from a workpiece includes moving a coated abrasive over a receiving surface of a platen, the receiving surface having at least one opening configured for the flow of an ejection material therethrough, moving the platen and workpiece relative to each other to contact the coated abrasive to the workpiece and removing material from the workpiece, and controlling a flow pressure for the ejection material through the at least one opening during removing material from the workpiece, where the flow pressure of the ejection material can be adjusted based on at least one of the operation parameters such as a translation rate of the coated abrasive over the receiving surface, the weight of the coated abrasive, a material removal rate, a coefficient of friction between the coated abrasive and the platen, or a combination thereof.

Method and system for removing material from a workpiece

The present disclosure relates to abrasive buffing articles ('abrasive buffs') and methods of making the same. The abrasive buffs include a substrate, such as a fabric, that has been impregnated with an abrasive polymeric composition that includes abrasive particles, such as primary abrasive particles and/or abrasive aggregates, such as spray dried abrasive aggregates. The abrasive buffs are flexible and capable of conforming to and effectively abrading, polishing, and buffing workpieces possessing a complex geometry.
