Norton 041218015312 Diamond Grit Grade 15 Blue 5g

Product Description

The NORTON 041218015312 is a Grade 15 blue diamond grit lapping and finishing compound designed for fine finishing applications. Packaged in a 5-gram container, this compound contains diamond abrasive particles ranging from 10 to 22 microns in size, making it well suited for achieving smooth, refined surface finishes on hard materials. It is used by machinists, toolmakers, and precision finishing technicians who require consistent abrasive performance at a fine grit level. The blue color coding identifies the grade at a glance during multi-step finishing workflows.

This diamond grit compound is intended for fine finishing operations where surface refinement and tight tolerances are required. It is commonly used on hardened steel, carbide, ceramics, and other hard substrates in tool and die shops, precision machining environments, and maintenance grinding applications. The compound is applied by hand lapping, bench lapping, or with lapping fixtures. Its 5-gram container size is appropriate for small-quantity jobs or initial trials in production finishing setups.

Key Features

• Grade 15 diamond abrasive compound rated for fine finishing operations
• Grit particle size ranges from 10 to 22 microns for controlled surface refinement
• Blue color coding allows quick grade identification in multi-compound workflows
• Compact 5-gram container suitable for targeted applications and low-volume use
• Diamond abrasive type provides consistent cutting action on hard and brittle materials

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style finishing compound for use in fine lapping and surface preparation applications on hard substrates including carbide, hardened steel, and ceramic materials.

Installation Notes

This compound is applied by qualified machinists or toolmakers during precision surface finishing operations. Apply a small amount to the lapping surface or tool and work in controlled, consistent strokes. Keep compound grades segregated to avoid cross-contamination between coarse and fine finishing stages. Follow shop safety practices for handling abrasive compounds, including appropriate eye and skin protection.
