* Better Surface Contact<\/strong><\/p>\n The crystals in the conventional abrasives are locked at irregular heights and at random angles. Many never touch the working surface. The Micro-Mesh\u00ae system allows the crystals to move \u2013 depressing to seek a common level \u2013 while rotating their planning chips into alignment. Consequently, this creates a smooth shaving action rather than gouging and abrading the surface \u2013 an ultrafine scratch pattern results.<\/p>\n * Larger Crystals<\/strong><\/p>\n The unique \u2018Floating Suspension\u2019 of Micro-Mesh\u00ae crystals allow us to use relatively large grit to produce super finishes. Micro-Mesh\u00ae removes the peaks of the previous scratch pattern without gouging deeper channels.<\/p>\n * Less Loading<\/strong><\/p>\n Using larger crystals leaves a large valley between crystals relative to the very fine particles removed. These fine particles will fall free of the crystals and clear of the freshly worked<\/p>\n surface.<\/p>\n * Reduced Friction<\/strong><\/p>\n Much of the heat generated during conventional sanding comes from abraded particles loading the abrasive. This heat can<\/p>\n actually weld the abraded particles back onto the workpiece, creating a false surface. At some future time these particles may come loose, causing part failure. With Micro-Mesh\u00ae high heating and welding just can\u2019t occur, assuring surface integrity.<\/p>\n * Longer Life<\/strong><\/p>\n By avoiding the heat producing friction that can fracture and destroy crystals, Micro-Mesh keeps its superior properties longer \u2013 up to 15 time longer \u2013 than ordinary abrasives.<\/p>\n Can use wet or dry. Using wet will prolong life and flush out metal waste, keeping Micro-Mesh\u00ae cleaner. Best results will be achieved when using Micro-Mesh\u00ae with light pressure and\/or at low rotational speeds.<\/p>\n Micromesh works a bit differently from standard abrasives, use this chart to choose the grit you require by comparing to standard FEPA grits.<\/p>\nMicromesh Grits<\/h2>\n
