Lightbulb Re: Mikronite

The beauty of REM ISF finish is that, unlike the very smooth surface left by Mikronite, Rem leaves the "valley" in the polishing, (much like a very fine cylinder hone). This valley is just enough to hold a film of lube on the part. There's a substantial reduction in friction. Combined with cryo (done properly), you get a great part.
