Abstract
A method for producing, from a blank, restrictive tooling for use in an orbital polishing machine involves urging one of either the workpiece or the blank along a predetermined path against the other to physically impart a proportioned contour of the workpiece into the blank, thereby producing the restrictive tooling. Using this method, the same orbital polishing machine may be used to produce the restrictive tooling and to subsequently polish the workpiece.
