How to Pick the Right Sandpaper for the Task

Sandpaper is characterized by something they call "grit. “When you think about it, grit is just a measure of how many tiny rough particles are on the sandpaper, and basically tells you how rough or smooth the sandpaper is. The higher the grit number, the finer or smaller the particles — the smoother the sandpaper. For most projects, it’s best to begin with a rougher grit to remove more material, then switch to a finer grit later for smoothing everything out. So for example: When sanding wood you might use a coarse rough grit to remove large pieces off, then use a finer smooth grit to finish off and make it look good.

Things to Think About

There are a few key things to consider when selecting a Sanding Disc and sanding belt. Think about what kind of material you’re going to be sanding first. Sandpaper has different grits for use on different materials. Say you are sanding wood, you may need a coarser grit to help knock off the rough spots.

Ensuring Your Belt Sander is the Proper Size

It is essential to verify the size of both your belt sander and sanding belt to make sure that your sanding belt fits your belt sander. Most manufacturers include information about the size belt you need as a label on their sanders, so look for that information. If you aren’t sure which size you need, you can measure the belt yourself. Be sure to align the belt in your sander, to promote even wear. This will ensure you are getting the best performance from both your sander and your sanding belt.
