Happy Holidays to all,
A quick question for the collective wisdom: What is the conversion from the 'micron' measurement, as found on the abrasive papers, to the standard grit system (ie 8000, etc)? I've been using granite and the LV abrasive paper for some time now and wondered today what level of 'grit' I was sharpening. I use the 15, 5, and .5 micron papers.
Thanks,
Jeff
