OUR FINISH LINEM21 SMOOTH SPECULAR - Cutting with aluminum oxide compounds, starting with relatively coarse grits and finishing with 320 grit, using a peripheral wheel speed of 6,000 F.P.M. followed by buffing with aluminum oxide buffing compounds using a peripheral wheel speed of 7,000 F.M.P. M22 SPECULAR - Cutting with compounds as for the M21 Finish, followed by a final light buffing. M31 FINE SATIN - Wheel or belt polishing with aluminum oxide or silicon carbide abrasives of 180- 240 grit, using a peripheral speed of 6,000 F.M.P. M32 MEDIUM SATIN - Same as above, however, abrasives of 120-180 grit are used. M33 COARSE SATIN - Same as above, however, abrasives of 180-120 grit are used. #3 FINISH - A polished obtained by finishing with an approximately 100 grit abrasive, generally used as a semi-final finish. #4 FINISH - General purpose, bright finish, with a 150-240 mesh abrasive, following initial grinding with coarser abrasives. #4 NONDIRECTIONAL SATIN - 80 - 150 grit with no grain direction. #4 LONG GRAIN - Elongated continuous grain. #6 FINISH - A soft satin finish, with lower reflectivity than the #4 finish. It is produced by Tampico like brushing the #4 finish, using a medium abrasive with oil (when available). #6 FINISH MIRROR BRITE - A highly finished product produced by buffing a surface which has been finely ground. Grit lines produced are heavier than a #7 finish. #7 FINISH - A highly reflective finish produced by buffing a surface which has first been finely ground, but grit lines are not removed through the final buffing process. #8 FINISH - The most reflective finish commonly produced. It is obtained by polishing with successively finer abrasives, then buffing with a very fine buffing compound. The surface is essentially free of grit line, though a certain angles some are still visible. #8 ARCHITECTURAL - Same as above, but through a programmed process each sheet receives additional color buffing to achieve greater reflectivity. #12 NONDIRECTIONAL MIRROR* - A perfect mirror. No grain line. *Limited
