Ya I know I talked about polishing my CS needle but I am afraid to try with the micron because I haven't got a spare needle yet and without a spare if I screw up I don't want to be out in the cold. I hope I can get them quick from Coast. Anyone here have Coast expedite an order or do overnight shipping?People have been polishing Iwata needles for ages. Learn to do it and feel you just make that brush a bit more awesome.
The price is higher just because it is destined for laboratory or medical use most probably and not because of anything else. This is my personal opinion and does not necessarily reflect the views of this forum [emoji12]Ya because of my other thread about polishing needles I was looking into needle materials and found that they do make tungsten needles for science applications. Like they have this one site that sells tungsten needles for an xacto like handle tool that they use for dissecting animals and whatnot. They are actually extremely sharp and durable but tend to be highly expensive. So it seems that a tungsten needle would be durable enough for airbrush applications it is just that it is not economically feasible at this time.
Your probably right, like sterilized and everything. Just like when I was looking into air compressors somebody said to look up dental compressors and wow were they expensive for what you get. Just because they provide "clean dry air" for dental drills and whatnot.The price is higher just because it is destined for laboratory or medical use most probably and not because of anything else.

Yeah I wanna see that. I didn't even know they made 3000 grit. Might end up framing that needle.I have 3000 grit 3m paper and 1 micron diamond paste coming in tomorrow so I will update after I try with that
