produces fibers that have geometric cross sections. The result is that each
metal wool fiber has several long, sharp cutting edges. Unlike sandpaper and
other grit-based abrasives that scratch away material with sharp points, metal
wool fibers perform like thousands of microscopic scrapers or planes on a
surface. The result is a smoother surface after sanding and a better result
after finishing. Fine metal wools are even used to clean glass and polish fine
wood articles.
