Grit to mesh to micron conversion
I don't know if this has been posted before, or even if it's interesting. But I found a conversion chart for grits and microns (and meshes, whatever those are).

To my understanding, hones are measured in grits, while pastes are measured in microns. This chart helped me see the connection. ;) Maybe it will do someone else some good too. :D

A more complete Comparison
I have been lurking here for a couple months now, and when I came across this thread I decided that I needed to try to contribute something to the forum.
I am attaching a PDF of a grit comparison that I have been working on for a couple years as I happen across new information. Hopefully it is more accurate than most, since almost all figures come from the manufacturers themselves.
I'm interested greatly if anyone catches any errors or has something else to add to the list, so please let me know.
BTW, I'm lovin the wealth of information here, it's good to learn from skilled mentors!:rock:
