The article deals with the optimization of edge rounding with Scotch-Brite™ non-wooven elastic abrasive tools. The optimization criterion is the economic target function (ETF) which must be minimized. In order to determine the ETF, the target function (TF) (the basic machine time) and limiting functions (LF) (the potential surface roughness and edge size) have been developed. Based on the optimization results, the recommendations for selecting the machining conditions have been suggested.
