Frequently Asked Questions
Is this film compatible with PSA-based machines?
This version features a plain back (no PSA). Please verify if your machine requires adhesive or a non-adhesive attachment method.
What is the primary use for 1µm grit film?
1µm diamond film is typically used in the intermediate or fine polishing stages to refine the end-face finish after initial material removal.
Are these discs suitable for hand polishing?
These are designed for machine polishing to ensure consistent pressure and uniform results, though they can be used for manual processes depending on your specific requirements.
