Surface finishing is the final operation in manufacturing processes and it costs around 15% of the total manufacturing cost [1]. A high quality surface with very low values of surface roughness and high accuracy are required for some products in many applications. These characteristics are required especially for products with a complex shape which are made from advanced materials such as alloys of hard materials, glass, and ceramics.
