That's over simplifying but yes.
REM uses a vibrating bowl and is directional, depending on which process is used can be very aggressive in removing material.

Am not knowledgeable on the ISF process.

Isotropic Finishing / Micronite removes very little material.

Back when Micronite was in NJ they were working with Black & Decker on a few things. The one item I heard a lot about was saw blades for framers. New blades were run through the process and tested real world against the same new blades. Where a blade would last a day before dulling the Micronite blade lasted 2 - 3 days. Loosing the industrial business was one of the reasons for their demise.

Quick change rear gears for a race winning circle track car were processed. Betweeen hot lapping before a race the gear ratio was changed before going back out. Where normally the fluid would be extremely hot and gloves needed to handle the gears the job was able to be done with bare hands.
