(3) Grinding Wheel Specifications: Grit Size

Grit Size

  

Grit / Micron Size:
   

    

Applies   to products using abrasive grains held in a matrix or bonded to a   surface such as coated abrasives, MSL superabrasives, vitrified grinding   wheels, dressing sticks, honing stones or grit dressers. Grit sizes are   based on ANSI, FEPA, JIS or proprietary grading system   standards.  Grading system standards define a grit size through   specified upper and lower limits at certain points in the size distribution.
