Review on πŸ”¨ 5-Pack of 3M Wetordry Sandpaper Sheets, 11 Inch - Abrasive & Finishing Products by Eric Ross

Revainrating 1 out of 5

Attention buyers, this is not US CAMI 320 grit paper and is not silicon carbide!

I received this item this morning. This product is NOT correctly described. This is the second batch of paper I've bought from Revain (I bought a separate Norton paper with a similar issue) that I've had an issue with. Two main questions: 1. This is NOT US 320 grit CAMI paper. Rather, it is a grit P320 produced according to the European FEPA scale. 320 grit has an abrasive grit of 42 to 45 microns. The P320 grit is 52 microns. . . This paper is comparable to just over 240 grit on the CAMI scale. You have to turn the paper over to find the P rating. I can tell you that this paper is definitely rougher than 320 grit (CAMI) as I have one sheet left to compare.2. This is NOT silicon carbide paper! This paper is alumina at 3M's own site. . . The back of the paper says "213Q" which is a type of 3M abrasive product. I smoothed out the paint with a wet sander this morning and found the life of this paper to be about 1/3 the life of silicon carbide abrasives. While unrelated to the above, I received my package a day late and the price has come down since then. to $1.05 from 3 days ago.

Pros
  • Grit 320
Cons
