Abstract
Disclosed herein is a method for producing a honeycomb body having a side surface bounded by a closed cylinder of a selected circumference and curvature comprising the steps of providing an extruded honeycomb body having a selected length and having a side surface bounded by a closed cylinder of a circumference larger than the selected and desired circumference; and removing material from the side surface to reduce the circumference thereof at least to the selected circumference. The instant invention's step of removing material from the side surface comprises grinding the side surface with a rotating abrasive means having a length at least equal to the selected length and an axis of rotation parallel to the side surface. Furthermore, the rotating abrasive means is attached to a spindle means which allows and controls movement of the rotating abrasive means in a plane perpendicular to the axis of rotation.
