Latest 3M Sandpaper

[Cheese]

Walked to my local Sherwin Williams to purchase some sample pints of paint and spotted this.

The paper and backing is only about .012" thick and the backing is maybe latex based because it's so flexible.

Here a sheet is wrapped around a 3/32" transfer punch. It comes in 4 different grits and it is also sold by the roll.

I bought some of the roll stock last month.  Works great for sanding on the lathe.

I'm pleased to see the 100/150 grit combos. IMHO this is an unfairly neglected pairing that works exceedingly well.

Yes, it's interesting to note that 3M only produces 4 different grits in the (100-150-220-320) range, while most people would expect to see additional 120-180-240-280 grits used in the range. It makes me want to rethink some of my grit changing rules.
