Question about Diamond?

[avbill]

I have reviewed white diamond in the search file and the closest answer came from Russ. He said the white diamond is close to 12,000mm in grit pattern. Another turner said go through all the grits in sandpaper. Another states that they sand up to either 400, or 600, or 800, and another to 2400grit before going to white diamond.


Does anyone know who manufactures White Diamond? My internet skills in search seem to be rusty.


my question:
1.) Does anyone know the grit size or micron size of white diamond?
2.) Does anyone know the grit size or micron size of tripoli?

I believe there a distributor for Novus on this forum. Do you know the micron size of Novus 1 and Novus 2?

Thank you. Bill Daniels
