Abrasive articles including a body having a first abrasive layer, a second abrasive layer and one or more reinforcing layers for use with cordless tools have a reduced thickness with respect to conventional counterparts. Techniques for producing and using such abrasive articles are described. In one embodiment, the first abrasive layer and the second abrasive layer comprise abrasive particles in a bond material. In an embodiment, a reinforcing layer is disposed between the first abrasive layer and the second abrasive layer. In a particular embodiment, the body comprises an average thickness of not greater than about 5 mm. In another particular embodiment, the abrasive particles can comprise silicon carbide.
