3M (TM) 7 Sheet 4-1/4 inch x 11 inch PSA Lapping Microfinishing Film For Scary Sharp Sharpening System Aluminum Oxide AO

Like many woodworkers, Ive spent a lot of time and effort in finding the most convenient, but effective, method to sharpen our chisels and plane irons. I could start a second hand store with all the products Ive tried but dont use due to one issue or another. Lately Ive used wet/dry sandpaper on marble slab with excellent success. My tools come out extremely sharp and the process to touch them up is reasonable. The only real issue is the expense of changing the paper so often. In steps the Taylor Tools answer to the scary sharp method using 3M lapping film. The advantage to sandpaper is two fold. First, the film provides longevity that paper backed products can only dream of ... secondly, the finer films take my tools to a whole new level of sharp. What a pleasure it is to use my tools again. I havent counted just how many chisels and irons Ive sharpened with any given set, but I can tell you that for me its been significant. I have five stages mounted to a 12x24 marble plate to create and maintain my micro bevels. It takes a mere couple of minutes to touch tools back up once you have a good primary bevel established. This is my current soup du jour of sharpening and Im going to be quite satisfied with it for a long time to come.

I love 3M the best for sharpening!

Works great

So far so good with these, Ive used them to polish/hone some straight razors to try this method out. I prefer an actual stone though after trying this but then again this isnt what these sheets were designed for so they get 5-stars from me for their quality.

Great product. Use it for polishing knife blades.

I cut them down and stick them on the ceramic piece in the kit. When done I stick them to a plastic sheet and get several used out of each one. You can put a razor sharp mirror edge on your knife.

I ordered these thinking they were adhesive backed and was disappointed when they weren’t but after giving them a try they do an excellent job at sharpening and putting a nice near mirror finish on any metal. And with a bit of stropping with polishing compound I was able to easily shave the hair off my arm

Works like a champ getting that extra edge of sharpness

I purchased these to use with my Worksharp knife sharpening system. I cut them to fit the stone and then just put them on. I get a razor sharp edge and a mirror polish. Very happy with this lapping film.

First time using this product to sharpen a straight razor. Worked very well , hard for me to tell when it’s worn out.
