Aluminum Oxide Lapping Compound – 1000 Grit | Ultra-Fine

Aluminum Oxide Lapping Compound – 1000 Grit

The TMC Aluminum Oxide Lapping Compound – 1000 Grit delivers extremely fine, controlled cutting for ultra-precision finishing. When you need a glass-smooth surface, this compound refines contact areas without disturbing critical tolerances. As a result, parts move effortlessly while maintaining perfect alignment.

Gunsmiths rely on 1000-grit aluminum oxide for final finishing stages where smoothness and consistency matter most. Therefore, this compound works exceptionally well for fine slide-to-frame polishing, bolt lug refinement, and raceway smoothing.

Ideal for Ultra-Fine Final Finishing

This 1000-grit abrasive excels when only minimal material removal is required. For example, it perfects slide-to-frame contact on pistols and polishes rifle bolt lugs to a mirror-like finish. In addition, it creates a silky, friction-free surface in bolt raceways, improving cycling and feel.

Because aluminum oxide cuts evenly and predictably, you retain full control throughout the process, even on extremely tight-tolerance parts.

Non-Embedding Lapping Compound, Easy-Cleanup Formula

TMC suspends smooth, rounded aluminum oxide crystals in a durable synthetic and petroleum-based carrier. Unlike sharp abrasives, these rounded particles do not embed into metal surfaces. Because of this, the compound stops cutting after cleanup, preventing unwanted wear or continued abrasion.

At the same time, the paste cleans up easily with soap and water. As an added benefit, the petroleum base protects carbon steel parts and helps prevent corrosion during use.

Long-Lasting and Shop Ready

Each container includes 2 ounces of lapping compound, which provides enough material to last for years of precision finishing work. Whether you work in a professional shop or at a home bench, this compound delivers consistent, repeatable results every time.
