SELECTING SANDING BELTS
Selecting the correct size and type of sanding belt is an
important step in achieving a high quality sanded finish. Alu-
minum oxide, silicon carbide, and other synthetic abrasives
are best for power sanding.
In general, when sanding, coarse grit removes the most
material and fine grit produces the best finish. The condi-
tion of the surface to be sanded determines which grit will
do the best job. If the surface is rough, start with a coarse
grit and sand until the surface is uniform. Then use medium
grit to remove scratches left by the coarser grit. Finally, use
finer grit for finishing the surface. Always continue sanding
with each grit until the surface is uniform.
