« on: September 03, 2008, 09:45:26 PM »
Does anybody know what wet-dry grit is close to Abralon 1000,2000 & 4000. Thanks up front for any help.

It would be even more helpful if there was a set of abrasives made specifically for bowling balls that all manufacturers used and endorsed. That and friction ratings for covers instead of what they are made of, particle, reactive solid, etc.

los2003, I bought wet/dry from Sutherlands Lumber, Auto Zone, Pep Boys Auto and a local auto paint store. Up to 2000 but now I get my Rhynowet paper, I like it much better.

I think that's because most finer grades are used either by auto body shops, boat shops, or by professional places surfacing things like Corian.

So most finer grades can only be bought online. PLUS since they are such high volume businesses, they are getting the newest runs which are most often graded using the FEPA standards. That is they have a "P" preceding the numbers.

Easy to translate to US grade, any thing from P1000 and up, just divide by 2.
P1500 = 750 US grit, P2000 = 1000, P2500 = 1250 US grit.

See http://www.woodworkingshop.com/cgi-bin/097F0268/mac/qryitems.mac/itemDisplay?qryType=STYLE&itemSt=SH91100SC&coreDsc=9%22%20X%2011%22%20SILICON%20CARBIDE%20SHEETS%205PK
At the bottom are 1500 and 2000 grit. Pretty sure they "P"/FEPA graded.

Supergrit.com:

At the bottom are AZGUY's Rhynowet Redline Sheets. They are "P"/FEPA graded.

Here is Supergrit's P2500 grit wet/dry silicon carbide sheets:

There are more places like these. Just do some internet searches.

You can get almost any grit of wet/ dry paper at NAPA stores. Should be one in your area.
