Micro-Mesh Sheet (12 x 6) Regular<\/h2>\n

Micro-Mesh Sheet (12 x 6) Regular – 305mm x 150mm<\/p>\n

Ideal for making your own emery sticks because it easily bends without breaking.<\/p>\n

Can be used effectively wet or dry because the fabric backing is a lot stronger than paper.<\/p>\n

Regular is suited to plastics, fibreglass, lacquers, gelcoat, cast polymers, acrylics, softwood, composites etc. Or for final finishing after using MX grade.<\/p>\n

Grits start at 1500 which is equivalent to 400g wet and dry paper.<\/p>\n

Micro-Mesh Benefits<\/h2>\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. 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>
\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

Micro-Mesh Grits<\/h2>\n

Micro-Mesh 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

Regular sheet is great for getting\u00a0 high shine, you may require the MX grits to start the process particularly for surgical instruments, engine components, knives etc<\/p>\n

Sheet is useful because it can be used in so many ways. it can be stuck to blocks, used flat or by hand.<\/p>\n

For Jewellers<\/h2>\n

Regular grades are excellent for jewellery as they go up to very fine grits which will actually polish. The sheet is very useful as it can be stuck down to the bench for flat lapping or even stuck to a coffee stirrer for getting right into tight spots.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"

Micromesh -The Cushioned Abrasive.<\/p>\n

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 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":[1047,1039,1048,1049,966,1044,1050,1051,846,1052],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.polishingjewellery.co.uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product\/18901"}],"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=18901"}],"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=18901"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"product_cat","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.polishingjewellery.co.uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product_cat?post=18901"},{"taxonomy":"product_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.polishingjewellery.co.uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product_tag?post=18901"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
