    I love it!

    As far as how a manufacturer determines what grit to call a product, its approximation. They'll either make their own abrasive particles or buy in bulk, adjust binder strength, binder to grit ratio and overall density to get the final product some where close enough to what people expect out of a certain grit, let's say 4K, that they can get away with calling it 4K, instead of 3379 or 4400.
