I was advised by the manurfacture of a piece of precision equipment to lab the bronze bearing (5/15 dia) using 600 grit aluminium oxide powder, however on the latest bulliten they issue they no longer mention the use of the powder only lapping oil, is lapping oil it's self a cutter? I understand that the powder may clog the pores and lead to the bearing it's self becoming a lap, however if this is the case why would a manurfacture who has been making the product for over 50 years reccomend this in the fitsr place. Any thoughts David
