Diamond grit sizes

Diamond grit size refers to the size of the individual diamond particles or grains that are used in diamond tools and abrasive products. The size of diamond grit is typically specified by a number, which represents the number of mesh screens that the grit particles would pass through if they were sorted by size. For example, a diamond grit size of 100 means that the individual diamond particles are small enough to pass through a screen with 100 mesh openings per linear inch. Similarly, a grit size of 200 means that the particles are small enough to pass through a screen with 200 mesh openings per linear inch. Smaller diamond grit sizes, such as 100 or 200, are used for rough grinding or cutting tasks, while larger grit sizes, such as 800 or 1000, are used for fine grinding or polishing. The choice of diamond grit size depends on the material being worked on, the desired surface finish, and the specific application. It's important to note that diamond grit size is just one factor that affects the performance of diamond tools and abrasive products. Other factors include the concentration of diamonds in the tool, the bond strength of the diamond particles to the tool, and the operating parameters, such as speed and pressure.
