Thread: HELP: 3M films I.D. needed

Hi guys, I decided I want to hone my razors all by myself and want to be sure I'm capable of it before I spend a lot of money in stones (I really like the idea of shapton ceramics, but i'd love a coticule/BBW natural combo), lapping plates and similar things.

As from title: 3M Italy asked me the I.D. of the lapping films so that they can tell me if (and where) I can purchase them here. The problem is I don't know the "official" 3M ID as reported in this page (look at the left bottom of the 1st page):

Can you help me please? how thick are your films? do you know what kind of resin backing they have?

Thank you really very much,
Maolo

if you want to save money you should go to hones. 3m use is harder then stones and you buy stones ones.at the end you will win.
hope this helps

Something like this: Santa Fe Jewelers Supply - 3M™ Micron Polishing Paper

A lot less expensive than diamonds. If you can get the 3M diamond sheets in Europe, these will be more common to find.

serephim swears by diamond lapping film...

contact him

Thank you for the replies guys appearently there are no distributors of the fims here in Italy...I still hope M3 Italy can import the sheets directly but they still have to answer me...
