    Hi!

    I am trying to better understand polishing (enamel/ glass), polishing compounds, grit, mesh, microns, etc...and came across this comparison chart that I thought might be of interest to some.

    It compares grit mesh micron.

    here is the link:

    all the best,

    (here is somewhat different information, from a page in rio grande catalog...)

    30 microns = approx. 400-grit 

    15 microns = approx. 600-grit

    9 microns = approx. 1200-grit
     
    3 microns = approx. 4000-grit
     
    2 microns = approx. 6000-grit
     
    1 microns = approx. 8000-grit
