Sanding The Inertia
« on: October 08, 2007, 10:44:28 AM »
Has anyone sanded the Inertia for oil? I'm having a problem finding a spot for it in my arsenal in the factory finish so I was thinking taking it down to 1000 for oil.

From what I've seen of this ball, 1000 is not going to be enough, although it is a Particle Solid, it was not that strong and mainly geared for Medium oil or slightly higher, try placing it on an Ebonite or Haas resurfacing machine at 500 Abralon for 30 minutes, this may make your Inertia worth keeping for the higher oil!

My Seahawks are on their way to a 5th straight NFC West Crown, I'm hoping for a Dallas Cowboy rematch in the play-off's!


Maybe 500 Abralon for 5 min not 30 min.

i've hit mine with 1000 abralon, and i really wouldnt say its for heavy oil.  more medium to slightly more.  but being at 1000 it handles the carrydown better.

The Inertia is already at 1000 OOB, only it has a polish on it also. So if you take it to 1000 you are only removing the polish. This will help the ball start up sooner but it wont add to much overall strength. I would say take it to 600 with a green scotch brite pad. I had mine at that and it was awsome. Or if you would like the smoothest reaction you would ever find, go in the other direction. I currently have my Inertia at 4000 abralon but with the use of a spinner on high speed. The cover looks polished but it isnt. The reaction I get is very smooth and very controlable. Great finish for the Inertia.

I'll try both. I love the hitting power and really would like to keep it but I never find a time to use it.

Thanks for the suggestions everyone.
