DECISION GUIDE
What should you verify before choosing?
The exact fit, abrasive construction, grit, machine setup, work material, and finish target all affect the result.
Leveling and faster removal
Use the least aggressive coarse grit that will perform the required cut without creating unnecessary scratch depth.
Intermediate refinement
Use to remove the prior scratch and prepare the surface for a finer stage or specified finish process.
Fine finish preparation
Use only after earlier scratches are removed and the substrate or finish schedule calls for this range.
Aluminum oxide only
Although the old general description mentions zirconia, the current selector offers nine aluminum oxide variants only.
