What is the grit/mesh level for this product?

The stone I received was white, like the ultra fine. Not blue like pictured. There is no way this thing can be 2000 grit. If you have the deluxe set, this stone falls between the 600 and 1000. So I am going to guess 800. Using it on a blade will confirm this. Ultra still shines the edge better than this one for that reason.

I'm pretty sure they claim 2,000 grit on their site...way smooth enough to put a polished/mirror edge on if you spend the time.

I didn't notice any. I would estimate 400-600 grit. It is good for knives that are in fair sharpness. For really dull knives you would need to start with a more coarse grit. It is a good stone.

Hi - I'm not a grit expert, but these look pretty coarse to me. Hope this helps.

The grit number is the measure of the coarseness or fineness of the grinding material. The higher the number the finer the grinding material and the smoother and sharper the surface finish of the knife will be. Conversely the lower the grit number the courser the grit material. the course material will remove metal faster but leave a rougher finish. You should start with a course material and work down to a fine material to get a nice smooth finish. That is start with a low grit number and work up to a high grit number.

Kevin,It all depends upon the materials with which you are working. I use it mostly in my carburetor restoration business to resurface aluminum, bronze, pot metal and cast iron castings, so I graduate the belts that I use from 100 to 150 to 180 grit for a smooth finish. I also use the 180 grit alone to finish the ends on small-diameter brass tubing and round stock.Jeff

not sure what you should use...as I use the 60 grit for my labs which is enough.I would just use the same but the slower setting...

I've never used sandpaper smoother than 120 grit for ANYTHING. If you have to rough up a surface, especially one as hard as ceramic tile, I would think you'd have to start with an 80 grit, then go to a 120 to smooth it out. Another poster said he used the same rougher grits and that Rustoleum gave him free product because their directions were so vague (which caused his first try to fail from the paint bubbling). You have to remove all the gloss, not just rough it up, if you want it to adhere for years. As long as your circular design is not slick and glossy, and is a part of the tub itself (and not a stick-on like caulk), then it should cover well.

Yes, but you will need to buff it afterwards. The highest paper is 12000 grit, so it is a polishing paper. The lowest is either 1200 or 1500. These micro mesh are designed to be used wet because they are polishing papers. I use them wet with a lube. About me - I own a professional refinishing firm and I use them to achieve high gloss mirrored finishes. I learned about these from an automotive guy, and I use car products to remove swirls and hairlines from my high gloss filled finishes.

It came up with the combination 2-3 for each grit (60-2, 80-2,120-2) it's been more than year ago and also used couple of the sandpaper so don't remeber the exact number but for sure its a combination

This is a stropping compound. I'm not really sure what grit that would be. I would assume several thousands lol? It's designed to "polish"/smooth micro imperfections in the edge of whatever you sharpened. Hope this helped.

This stone is very very fine. I'm not sure what the grit is. However, it is supposed to give your knife a mirror edge. My friends have gotten a mirror edge from this stone. I have not unfortunately.

This is more a medium grit...80-100. If you are looking for finish work then you may want to hit with fine paper or soda blast so the metal is smooth. This hasn't pitted the metal but it can.

It does not indicate on packaging what the grit might be or the grinding stone composition. However, it appears to be A super fine grit and is man made. I have been using it with great satisfaction for sewing scissors, both industrial and regular home scissors.

If you'll sand the chrome with 40-80 grit on a orbital sander or 4-5 inch air grinder disc is should adhere just fine. I wouldn't recommend putting product over nice smooth surface needs to be and sanded paint or sanded metal surface. Sets fast for work quickly in small areas.

I did not reuse any of the grit from any of the 4 steps. The post tumble solutions are very chalky and thick. The grit is relatively inexpensive so I just disposed of the residue from each step. I have only completed two batches so I am open to anyone else's suggestions.

I own this Planer and the finish after you run a board through is very very smooth. If the pass thru is clean then I use 220 Grit or you could use 180. Be careful if you are planing "Figured Wood" such as Flamed Maple. Sometimes there will be tear out spots. Always do minimal depth passes. BTW it is a One Speed Planer.This is a great Planer! Good choice

I do not know what grit or type of particles are used. What I can tell you is that this is really terrific stuff. I use it on a leather strop for the final polish and the edge it leaves is definitely a razor edge. Quickly removes the scratch marks of my 1200 grit diamond stone.
