Hi Jena,

    The official answer from 3M is that they hope the product will be
    available in October or November. They have had to rework the product
    to make it affordable for us mere mortals, as well as come up with a
    way to differentiate between the grades. It's an amazing product
    (have you tried the larger wheels? works very well in the larger
    wheel sizes, especially on "non-traditional" jewelry materials), and
    will be well worth the wait. I had the pleasure of trying some of the
    early material, and it was as good as the larger wheels, BUT -
    impossible to differentiate between the various grades...but
    oh-so-sweet on platinum, stainless, titanium...
