Somewhere I have heard of a grit that is deliberately intended to self-destruct. In other words, the particles get smaller as the work progresses.

It's called "Time Saver" (US-made). If someone could tell me where to get that in Europe ...

Nick,

When I got mine it was from G A Watt, 6A Milton Avenue, Glasgow G72 8BQ, who claimed to be "sole UK distributors".

It comes in two types, green (for hard metals) and yellow (for brass, bronze, aluminium and whitemetal) and each type comes in several grades (I have medium and fine, not sure what others there are.

Unfortunately this was over 10 years ago, and I have no idea if this is still valid. Can't recall how much I paid. I have used maybe 5% of the stuff I got....

Hope this helps,

David

Thanks. I asked the time saver people, but they didn't answer. Does that Mr. G.A. Watt have an eMail or the like? :-)
