Note(s) [4]

(1) In this subclass, the following term is used with the meaning indicated:
– “polishing” means the smoothing of a surface, i.e. a surface improvement but no improvement of the dimensional accuracy as
would occur in a “grinding” operation.
(2) Attention is drawn to Notes (1) and (2) following the title of subclass B23F.
