| 1. A method of manufacturing a head slider having a top surface with a head element located on the top surface near an air
outlet end, comprising the steps of:
rotating a polishing member at a predetermined rotational speed;
causing the head slider to float above the polishing member with an airflow which is generated between the top surface and
the polishing member when the polishing member is rotated;
supplying a predetermined power to said head element; and
polishing off at least a portion of the head element which projects from the top surface when said predetermined power is
supplied to said head element for shaping a cavity on the head element.
