Sliding guideways play a critical role in the accuracy and dynamic performance of machine tools. Discontinuous jerking motion occurs due to wringing if the guides are too smooth, but excessive wear results is the surface is too rough. The current fabrication approach uses large and expensive grinding machines that place logistical restrictions on production. A higher productivity milling process, using cubic boron nitride (CBN) tooling has been attempted, but this process does not achieve the necessary surface quality. Secondary finishing using a spindle mounted abrasive filament tool could be implemented as a post process to improve surface quality. This study determined the relationship between number of passes and Spk, Sk, and Svk areal functional parameters for three types of filament tools.
