The invention claimed is: 1. An abrasive agglomerate comprising a plurality of abrasive grains bonded together in a three-dimensional structure by a substantially continuous, non-porous inorganic binder, wherein said abrasive grains have an average size of between about 0.5 microns and about 1500 m
The invention claimed is: 1. An abrasive agglomerate comprising a plurality of abrasive grains bonded together in a three-dimensional structure by a substantially continuous, non-porous inorganic binder, wherein said abrasive grains have an average size of between about 0.5 microns and about 1500 microns, said inorganic binder comprises less than about 75 percent, by weight, of said agglomerate, and wherein the bulk density of said abrasive agglomerate is less than about 90 percent of the bulk density of said abrasive grains, and wherein a majority of each of said abrasive grains is exposed and not encapsulated within said inorganic binder. 2. An abrasive agglomerate according to claim 1, wherein said abrasive grains form a discontinuous coating on said inorganic binder, wherein a straight line extending radially outwardly from the center of said inorganic binder passes through no more than three of said abrasive grains. 3. An abrasive agglomerate according to claim 2, wherein said straight line passes through no more than 2 of said abrasive grains. 4. An abrasive agglomerate according to claim 1, wherein said abrasive grains form a discontinuous monolayer on said inorganic binder. 5. An abrasive agglomerate according to claim 1, wherein said abrasive agglomerate has an aspect ratio greater than 1:1. 6. An abrasive agglomerate according to claim 1, wherein said abrasive agglomerate has an aspect ratio of between about 1:1 and about 20:1. 7. An abrasive agglomerate according to claim 1, wherein said abrasive grains are selected from the group consisting of fused aluminum oxide, ceramic aluminum oxide, heat treated aluminum oxide, white fused aluminum oxide, brown fused aluminum oxide, monocrystalline fused aluminum oxide, silica, silicon carbide, green silicon carbide, boron carbide, titanium carbide, alumina zirconia, fused alumina zirconia, diamond, ceria, cubic boron nitride, boron oxides in the form of B6O and B10O, garnet, tripoli, boron carbonitride, sintered alpha alumina-based abrasive particles, boehmite-derived, sintered alumina, and combinations thereof. 8. An abrasive agglomerate according to claim 1, wherein said inorganic binder is a glass binder. 9. An abrasive agglomerate according to claim 8, wherein said glass binder is partially or completely crystallized. 10. An abrasive agglomerate according to claim 1, wherein said inorganic binder is selected from the group consisting of silicates, soda lime silicates, calcium silicates, calcium alumino silicates, sodium silicate, potassium silicates, borosilicates, phosphates, boron glasses, aluminates, glass ceramics, titanate containing glasses, rare earth oxide glasses, zirconia based glasses, cullet and crushed post consumer recycled glass, and combinations thereof. 11. An abrasive agglomerate according to claim 1, wherein said abrasive agglomerate has a size between about 5 microns and about 10,000 microns. 12. An abrasive agglomerate according to claim 1, comprising between about 3 and about 300 abrasive grains per abrasive agglomerate. 13. An abrasive agglomerate according to claim 1, comprising between about 0.05 grams and about 0.5 grams of the glass binder per gram of said abrasive grains. 14. A plurality of abrasive agglomerates, each agglomerate being according to claim 1, made by a process comprising: providing a plurality of glass bodies, each glass body having a defined shape, said glass bodies having a softening temperature; providing a plurality of abrasive grains; mixing said plurality of glass bodies with said plurality of abrasive grains to form a mixture; heating said mixture to said softening temperature so that said glass bodies soften while substantially retaining said defined shape, and said abrasive grains adhere to said softened glass bodies to form a plurality of abrasive agglomerates wherein a majority of each of said abrasive grains is exposed and not encapsulated within said glass bodies; and cooling said abrasive agglomerates so that said glass bodies harden and said glass bodies are substantially continuous and non-porous after said cooling step. 15. A plurality of abrasive agglomerates according to claim 14, wherein said plurality of glass bodies comprises a plurality of glass fibers. 16. A coated abrasive comprising: a backing having a surface; and a plurality of abrasive agglomerates secured to said surface by a bond system, each of said plurality of abrasive agglomerates including a plurality of abrasive grains bonded together in a three-dimensional structure by a substantially continuous, non-porous inorganic binder, wherein said abrasive grains have an average size of between about 0.5 microns and about 1500 microns, said inorganic binder comprises less than about 75 percent, by weight, of the abrasive agglomerate, and the bulk density of said abrasive agglomerate is less than about 90 percent of the bulk density of the abrasive grains, and wherein a majority of each of said abrasive grains is exposed and not encapsulated within said inorganic binder.
