The sphere polishing method according to this embodiment will be described below. First, in the above-mentioned sphere polishing device 10,
One tank 23 is filled with a lap liquid for medium finishing, and the other tank 24 is filled with a lap liquid for precision finishing. As a lapping liquid for semi-finishing, a free abrasive of 0.25 μm to 2 μm with a grain size equal to or smaller than that of a grindstone is mixed with a fluid of 0.5 cSt to 5 cSt, for example, white kerosene oil such as insecticide solvent. The lapping liquid used for precision finishing is used without mixing free abrasive grains. If the base oil of the lapping liquid is in the range of 0.5 cSt to 5 cSt, the medium finishing and the precision finishing may be different from each other. The amount of polishing and the roughness of the finished surface can also be adjusted by blending a lapping liquid for precision finishing.

In the graphs of FIGS. 2 and 3, a thick solid line indicates the result obtained by the method of the present invention, and a thin solid line indicates the result obtained by the conventional method. In the graph of FIG. 2, in the conventional method (thin line), the grindstone is dressed prior to polishing, whereas in the method of the present invention (thick line), as is apparent in the B1 part, the free abrasive grains are removed. The automatic dressing action coarsens the grindstone and increases the amount of polishing. Also, in the conventional method, the grinding amount is small from the beginning because the grain size of the grindstone is reduced by precision finishing, but in the method of the present invention, as is apparent in the B2 part, the grindstone is initially coarse because it is coarse. However, although the polishing amount is large, the eyes of the grindstone gradually become finer due to the clogging, and the polishing amount decreases, and the processing accuracy increases.

As described above, in the present invention, since the polishing amount is large in precision finishing, the required time of the present invention is shortened to T3 compared to the conventional required time T2. In the present invention,
Also in the intermediate finishing, the required time can be shortened to T4 by adjusting the diameter and amount of the abrasive grains with respect to the conventional required time T1, by the dressing action of the grindstone by the abrasive grains. Further, as shown in FIG. 3, the method of the present invention (thick solid line) can obtain desired accuracy in a short time as compared with the conventional method (thin solid line).

In the above-described embodiment, a diamond grindstone having a grain size of 1 μm is used. However, the grain size of the grindstone is not limited to this case, and can be arbitrarily selected as 0.25 μm or 0.5 μm. The use of abrasive grains having a grain size equal to or less than the grain size of the grindstone is the same as in the embodiment. Furthermore, although ceramic spheres are used as spheres, the present invention is also suitable for polishing spheres of hard-to-machine materials such as high-speed steel, such as Hv830, which is harder than ordinary bearing balls.
