Linishing is the process of using grinding or belt sanding techniques to improve the flatness, smoothness and uniformity of a surface and its finish.[1][2] The process takes multiple stages, and a finer abrasive surface is typically used each time.[3] Abrasive brushes and linishing belts are typically used, the latter being a machine similar to a belt sander used for large surfaces.[2][4] Large linishing belts are used in large-scale industrial linishing processes.[2][4] Hand tools similar to linishing belts but much smaller and more suitable for small surfaces are also used.[2][4]
