![]() ![]() But often this kind of thing does the opposite and is barely noticeable until you want it, while seeming to make things neater / more organised. You might find you feel the effect clutters what is already a lot of information. Below is a steel wool grit chart to help you pick the appropriate texture for your next wood finishing project. ![]() ![]() On the other hand, steel wool quality is measured in grades, from grade 4 (extra coarse) to grade 0000 (extra fine). One suggestion simply in terms of presentation - I'd be tempted to try running some very light coloured, dashed, horizontal lines across it, for easier ref to the micron scale at the sides, and comparison of different abrasives. Generally, sandpaper grit numbers range from 60 (extra coarse) to 400 (extra fine). I request feedback on this layout as well. Please see the file "GLGC RC2.png" in the directory linked above. A format I considered is to include additional scales to cover the macrogit and submicron ranges. Anything that is unclear shall be additionally explained in the README, and potentially modified in later revisions.Īs explained in the README file I chose to limit the range of the chart to keep it compact. Please ask any questions you have regarding the chart and its interpretation. Any corrections and all suggestions are welcome. I am soliciting feedback on the chart presented above. Previous versions as well as additional charts may be made available in the /GLGC/ directory. The chart and README will be updated if and when corrections or improvements are appropriate. Please see for important details about the chart including how to interpret it and what it does and does not represent. I ask that it only be shared by linking to the original source: I retain control over its distribution and use as detailed in the README and LICENSE files. I spent considerable time assembling this chart therefore I am not releasing it into the public domain. All other values I sourced elsewhere, though some sources may be common to both. None of the data from Komitadjie's chart was used in the creation of my own except for the BRKT and Spyderco ceramic approximate values which I included for completeness. While I expect the charts to be compared they are independent entities. I must stop and give tribute to Komitadjie's Grand Unified Grit Chart which was my inspiration for creating this one, and after which mine is named in homage. Stated another way, two grits that differ by a specific ratio will be a specific distance apart on the vertical axis of the chart whether they are 1.0 and 1.5 micron or 200 and 300 micron. A logarithmic scale also has the property of equidistant spacing for any geometric progression, meaning that a theoretically ideal stone series will be uniformly spaced in the chart. Since abrasive particles sizes cover several orders of magnitude a logarithmic scale is most appropriate. In the chart I seek to display the information as compactly and intelligibly as possible. I would like to present a new format of grit comparison chart. "None are so blind as those who will not see.Abrasives in Micron Scale: Grand Logarithmic Grit Chart Nowadays, most manufacturers say it is okay to use wet/dry sandpaper on their particle balls. On the other hand, the particles, at that time, in Brunswick balls (and Ebonite particle balls) were so hard that Brunswick had to get a new sandpaper called Trizact, which uses a harder abrasive. Once it was learned back in the late 90s that wet/dry sandpaper, which uses silicon carbide, did sand the soft particles in Columbia and, I believe Storm particle balls, people also learned to use Scotch-Brite nylon pads to sand those balls. the softness or hardness of the particles, and Since they use EXACTLY the same abrasive, silicon carbide, as far as I know, I seriously doubt that statement is true.Īs for the effect of abrasives on particle, it depends on two things,ġ. I heard that abralon pads are better to use though, especially for particle balls and that sandpaper rounds the particles and actually makes it worse. ![]()
