Market Lapping Film Differences

Thanks Frans!

@Kyle,

Since this is the only thread I’ve seen comparing the scratch pattern of the lapping film to leather, would it be possible to add the 5 micron diamond paste on a BALSA strop to this already stellar experiment?

It seems like just the medium of the strop can make a big difference, and the test that you did is absolutely incredible in that you not only measured what we can see, but the actual performance as well.

Great job!

@Eddie,

Great job of getting Silicon Carbide on our radar!

I was wondering if the 6K Sic strips would be a great finish after the new 1500 grit diamonds? I have some supplies coming soon, but if anyone else gets a chance to try out that combo I would love to hear (and see!) the results!

No problem. Hopefully I can get to it tomorrow or early next week. We just got some samples of Silicon Carbide Films in so I’ll test them and the balsa at the same.
