![]() Once all the pencil marks disappear on a single pass, its time to switch to a medium grit sandpaper. It may take two or three rounds of pencil marks with the coarsest sandpaper to make the board flat. The effort required to polish the finish of referenced products is equivalent to a finish left behind by the above grit numbers. Go over the surface again with 80 grit sandpaper to bring the rest of the surface down to the low spot. For more information, visit Federation of European Producers of Abrasives. FEPA (Federation of European Producers of Abrasives) Washington Mills has created a particle size conversion chart to assist our customers in selecting the correct grit size based on millimeters, microns, or inches. If i am reading this correctly, that if i choose to use wet/dry sanding paper instead of the Siaair/abralon pads, it rolls out like this. P Grits Conform to FEPA-Standards 43-1:2006, 43-2:2006. (Because “depth of sanding scratches” differ from product to product, the above guide is not necessarily equivalent to speed of material removal in volume. BrunswickNation wrote: I have this grit conversion chart in my presence that has been going around the boards for quite some time. ![]() Also there are some charts of various products below. The International Gem Society has great information on Microns, Grits, and Mesh, if you’d like further research. The lower the number the more coarse or rough the sandpaper is and the higher the number is how fine the sandpaper will be. One approach to Surface Finish is to use abrasives or sand the surface. This full-size chart, ranging from 4125 down to 0.3, contains data on five abrasive standards (FEPA-P, FEPA-F, JIS-R6001, ANSI, CAMI) as well as relative grading of the Shapton line, ceramic stones, water stones, diamond stones, oil stones and specialty sheet material. Note that each manufacturers abrasive is a bit different, so the actual coarseness of the paper may vary from brand to brand.Time required to completely cover and sand within a given area is equivalent to the speed of above grit number in traditional abrasive paper. This chart has comparisons of several bowling related products and several standard grit charts. Here is a chart table showing how Roughness Grade Numbers convert to Ra numbers: Roughness Grade Numbers and Ra Measures Surface Roughness of Abrasive Grits and Sandpaper. It is possible to create baby bottom on the nib by over doing it with micro-mesh. ![]() It is also used to do sanding of the wood with the sandpaper grain. ![]() Sandpaper grade of 60 to 120 is used to remove leftover paint stripper. This toolkit features measurement and conversion charts to aid you in identifying correct particle measurements, help with shape conversions, and define the properties of particles and shapes to ensure you select the best product for your applications. 46-120 grade sandpaper is used to clean the surface of sandstone, brick and solid wood. We tend to use 0.3 micron film, and some go as fine as 0.1 micron for the final smoothing of a nib.īecause regular sandpaper is glued to paper paper which is usually used on a hard surface VS micro-mesh which is somewhat resilient or is mounted is on a pad, the way that the nib interacts with the abrasive is different. Sandpaper of grade that falls between 24 and 60 is used to trim the surface of old paint and metal. Finishing and polishing is with 12,000 micro-mesh, which is finer that 3 microns according to the table. This is what we use for fast, initial shaping of a nib. If you use conversion charts, you should know the fundamental weaknesses and limitations of each classification. You are going to compare the regular Micro-mesh (2nd) column and the ANSI or CAMI USA column to compare the sandpaper grit and regular micromesh grit, then the last column which is the size of the abrasive in microns.Ĥ000 Micro-mesh is roughly (sorry) the same as 1500 gray wet-or-dry sandpaper which is as course as you should ever use on a nib, and coarser than most people recommend for use on a nib. ![]()
