Diamond-coated mylar nib smoothing sheets -- long lasting, what the pros use

Description: Nib Smoothing Sheets These mylar-backed nib smoothing sheets aren't cheap, but they are the best! Do not confuse them with cheaper mylar abrasives coated with aluminum or chromium oxide. The industrial diamond coating on these is far superior, and strongly resists being scraped off the mylar backing -- so much so, that one can run the edges of these disks between a nib's tines to smooth the inside edges of the tipping material. Can be used wet or dry, will outlast other polishing media many times over. Available with particle size of 1.0 micron (very fine, for finish work or slow deburring) or 1.5 micron (fine, offers faster deburring). The 1.0 micron disks are 5 inches (12.7 cm) in diameter while the 1.5 micron sheets are 4.25 x 4.25 inches (10.8 x 10.8 cm). This listing is for one of each grade -- two sheets in total. Note that these are much finer than mylar-backed abrasives sold for hobby use, while the grit size is far more closely controlled. Charts for conversion between different abrasive scales list abrasives of 0.5 micron as equivalent to 60,000 grit (the finest Micro-Mesh offers is 12,000 grit), 1.0 micron as equivalent to 14,000, and 1.5 micron as equivalent to 13,000. We have over 25 years of experience in vintage pen restoration and tuning. Unless otherwise noted, our pens have been fully reconditioned and are ready to write. Authenticity is guaranteed. Payment We are glad to combine shipping charges on multiple purchases, but it is vital that the proper checkout method be used. When buying more than one item, use the Add to Cart button -- NOT the Buy It Now button. View your cart when you are ready to complete the purchase, and if the total shipping charge is incorrect, do NOT pay. Instead, click the Request Total link at the top right and we will send you a corrected invoice. Terms of Sale We strongly believe in full and explicit description of any condition problems or flaws, and in very conservative grading. We stand behind our descriptions -- buy with confidence.
