OPERATION

SANDING SHEET SELECTION
Selecting the correct size grit and type sanding sheet is an
important step in achieving a high quality finish. Aluminum
oxide, silicon carbide, and other synthetic abrasives are best
for power sanding. Natural abrasives, such as flint and garnet
are too soft for economical use in power sanding.
In general, coarse grit will remove the most material and finer
grit will produce the best finish in all sanding operations. The
condition of the surface to be sanded will determine which
grit will do the job. If the surface is rough, start with a coarse
grit and sand until the surface is uniform. Medium grit may
then be used to remove scratches left by the coarser grit and
finer grit used for finishing of the surface. Always continue
sanding with each grit until surface is uniform.
