Which process flattens and smooths a surface using an abrasive moving belt?

• A. Linishing
• B. Polishing
• C. Grinding
• D. Surfacing

Answer: (A)

Linishing uses a continuous abrasive belt to flatten and smooth a surface. The belt runs over pulleys and often against a platen, and you press the workpiece against it to remove bumps and burrs and bring the surface to a uniform plane. By choosing different grit levels, you can start with a coarser belt to quickly level high spots, then switch to finer belts to achieve a smooth, even finish. This belt-based finishing step sits after rough grinding and before final polishing, specifically designed to produce flat, smooth surfaces.
