Talk:Superfinishing

Moved from article

The term superfinishing is applied to a number of different processes; most conventionally, an abrasive cutting stone oscillates while applying pressure on the work piece, which may be round or flat. Usually, though, superfinishing is done on round work pieces (such as automobile engine bores and gun barrels) to improve roundness and reduce friction. Processes utilising moving tapes and abrasive paste, and even 'tumbling' with abrasive stones are also frequently marketed as superfinishing.

I moved the above section from the article as it is really referring to microfinishing, which is sometimes called superfinishing. I plan on creating the microfinishing eventually, if someone doesn't beat me to it, and moving this to that article. Wizard191 (talk) 01:37, 10 March 2009 (UTC)
