Description: This grit is AO (Aluminum Oxide) 8000 Grit Shipped with USPS First Class Envelope. Micro Mesh Cushioned Abrasives are abrasives with crystals that float rather than remain in a fixed position best describes a cushioned abrasive. Micro Mesh is unlike common sandpaper, cushioned abrasives have no hard makecoat or a sizecoat over the layer of abrasive that is typical of common coated abrasives. Also, the bond that holds crystals to the backing is flexible. On Micro Mesh cushioned abrasives, crystals sit on a thin resilient layer of flexible material that is bonded to a flexible cloth backing. The flexible layer allows the abrasive crystals to recede slightly when subjected to contact pressure. Size uniformity coupled with the ability to recede into the resilient backing matrix means that all crystal tips- the cutting edges- are at the work surface at the same level. As the Micro Mesh cushioned abrasive is moved across the surface, the crystals rotate slightly to cut with a positive rake. This gives a cushioned abrasive the action of a plane rather that the action of a chisel that is typical of the fixed abrasive grains of common coated abrasive products. Working on the same level, the crystals of Micro Mesh cushioned abrasives produce fewer deep random scratches in the work piece, leaving a uniform, even surface pattern that requires fewer aggressive steps to produce the final finish. Small chips and flexibility of the backing allow the Micro Mesh abrasive crystals to cut without fracturing and reduce loading that can cause heat build-up. The result is a product with a life that is 7 to 15 times as long as coated abrasives containing fixed crystals. In using Micro Mesh cushioned abrasives, go back and forth rather than in a circular pattern. MicroMesh AO 8000 Grit (2 Pieces 6"x3") - Free Shipping. Condition is New.
