    Default Progression

    I was wondering the progression between sandpaper, tumbler, and micromesh (i have 3m micron papers):



    150 - 220 - 330 - 600 - 1000 - 1500 - 2000 - 3000 - tumbler walnut - 30 micron - 15 - 9 - tumbler corn - 3 - 2 - 1 ?

    Also I have gotten to the 1000 grit sandpaper and the surface seems to have scratches but that 1000 won't take out. I am not sure how I missed them since I spent lots of time at each grit. I put the blade in the tuumbler with walnut and rubbing compound and flitz for 2 days and it is a mittor finish but with these background scratches. Do I need to go back to 150 or lower?

    I have 5 blades I have restored from rusty pitted mess and am pretty close to done with these scratches being the last bastion.

    They all need scales and frankly I am tired already from the sanding, anyone out there want to scale them for me?

    Before/After, the 5th is still in the tumbler:
