Micromesh Sheet MX<\/h2>\n

12 x 6” sheets, ideal for making your own emery sticks or strips in split pin mandrels.<\/p>\n

MX is suitable for metals and hardwood. It is slightly less flexible than regular which helps you to achieve a high gloss finish on metals.<\/p>\n

Micromesh Sheet MX grade starts at 60 equivalent to 240g right up to 3 micron.<\/p>\n

To try grits we recommend Micromesh Flexifiles<\/a><\/p>\n

* Better Surface Contact<\/strong>
\nThe 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 planing chips into alignment. This creates a smooth shaving action rather than gouging and abrading the surface \u2013 an ultrafine scratch pattern results.<\/p>\n

* Larger Crystals<\/strong>
\nThe 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>
\nUsing 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
\nsurface.<\/p>\n

* Reduced Friction<\/strong>
\nMuch of the heat generated during conventional sanding comes from abraded particles loading the abrasive. This heat can
\nactually 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>
\nBy 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 Grits<\/h2>\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>\n

For Engineers<\/h2>\n

MX sheet is particularly useful for surgical instruments, engine components, mould and dies, knives, shears etc. Sheets are useful for turning into your own tools, it can be stuck onto basic tools to be used as a files, fixed flat to a bench or simply used by hand.<\/p>\n

For Jewellers<\/h2>\n

MX sheet is great for initial finishing, it will blend file marks and remove casting grain from castings. Move to Regular sheet<\/a> for the finer grits suitable for polishing.<\/p>\n

Sheet is versatile because it can be cut with normal scissors and stuck to various bases like an emery stick.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"

Sheets measure 12″ x 6″ and can be used as they are or attached to sticks, used like wet & dry with a split pin mandrel etc<\/p>\n

MICROMESH\u00ae Regular is more flexible than the MX grade, with a lighter backing.<\/p>\n

MICROMESH\u00ae MX<\/strong> is less flexible and is used in the initial finishing and shaping, the final finishing is usually carried out with regular.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":33783,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":[],"product_cat":[875,852,874,877,1070],"product_tag":[1047,1039,1048,1049,966,1043,1044,1050,1051,846,1052],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.polishingjewellery.co.uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product\/18377"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.polishingjewellery.co.uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.polishingjewellery.co.uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/product"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.polishingjewellery.co.uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=18377"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.polishingjewellery.co.uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/33783"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.polishingjewellery.co.uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=18377"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"product_cat","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.polishingjewellery.co.uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product_cat?post=18377"},{"taxonomy":"product_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.polishingjewellery.co.uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product_tag?post=18377"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
