In particular, in combination with a computer, the overall shape of magnetic heads tends to become smaller and smaller in order to accommodate faster data transfer and higher density magnetic recording. As the magnetic head becomes smaller, its mass decreases, high-speed access becomes possible, and it becomes possible to contribute to high-speed response, high-density recording, and increased storage capacity. In such a small magnetic head, the width of the grooves 105 and 106 is also reduced, making it increasingly difficult to remove chips, sludge, and the like.
