Emery Paper

Emery paper is a type of paper that can be used for sanding down hard and rough surfaces.

It can also be used for resistant technology purposes to give a smooth, shiny finish to manufactured products and is often used in the finishing of high-end watch movements. It also has a use in modelling - for 00 scale modelling the fine grades of emery paper can provide a good representation of a tarmac surface.

Similar to sandpaper, it is made by gluing small particles of the mineral emery (also called iron spinel or hercynite) to paper.

Famous quotes containing the word paper:

    It is to be noted that when any part of this paper appears dull there is a design in it.
    Richard Steele (1672–1729)
