An abrasive is a material that is used to shape or finish a workpiece through rubbing which leads to part of the workpiece being worn away. While finishing a material often means polishing it to gain a smooth, reflective surface it can also involve roughening as in satin, matte or beaded finishes.
Abrasives are extremely commonplace and are used very extensively in a wide variety of industrial, domestic, and technological applications.
Common uses for abrasives include grinding, polishing, buffing, honing, cutting, drilling, sharpening and sanding.
