Just curious what the experience was?

If you are, please note that the
Micro Mesh grit of 1500 = 400 grit of FEPA grade (the grit levels used by Abralon & Siaair)
Micro Mesh grit of 3600 = 2400 FEPA grit
Micro Mesh grit of 12000 = 4000 FEPA grit
(This is stated in the 3rd chart shown; I believe the Micro Mesh grade is JAL, from Japan.)

They're also available here,

I find their size and price structure to not be competitive with Abralon, Siaair or NEAT pads. I am both bowler and woodworker (sometimes).

FYI they use the same silicon carbide abrasive as Abralon so the results should not vary much from Abralon.

Yes.

Wonder how they work on a bowling ball. The higher grits would be something in between 5000 and what newspaper supposedly does.

That and wonder if they last longer.

See my summary just above this. I had to re-edit it to add detail.
