The term abrasives applies to a category of tools used in sanding, grinding, polishing, and other forms of surface conditioning. Abrasives products are commonly utilized on woods and metals to create a smooth finish. While common abrasives include sandpaper sheets and steel wool, stronger mineral abrasives can be purchased to work with heftier materials. Typical mineral abrasives include powdered glass, diamond dust, pumice dust, emery, and more.
