Grinding and Polishing Guide | Buehler
The abrasive used for each succeeding grinding operation should be one or two grit sizes smaller than that used in the preceding step. A satisfactory fine grinding sequence might involve SiC papers with grit sizes of 240, 320, 400, and 600 grit [P280, P400, P800 and P1200]. This sequence is used in the "traditional" approach.
