Why does the Lap-SharpT use TrizactT abrasives?
TrizactT has a very consistent grit size, should be used wet, and lasts significantly longer than standard Aluminum Oxide abrasives. Due to its apex structure (like a pyramid), it can abrade steel tools longer since new abrasive is exposed as the peaks wear off and additional edges of abrasive are exposed. This occurs without quickly building lumps of amalgam that damage the finish of the surface being abraded. The amalgam collects in the valleys of the TrizactT rather than lumping on the surface. After using TrizactT until the amalgam partially fills the valleys, it can be scrubbed with a brush, some detergent, and water; cleaning the valleys and enabling the extended life of the abrasive.
