high speed. Sanding rate is greatest
when the tool operates at high speed.
3. Figure K - Maintain a 5˚ to 10˚ angle
between the tool and work surface.
4. Continuously move the tool in a forward
and back motion to avoid creating

USING SANDING BACKING PADS
Choose the proper grit sanding discs
for your application. Sanding discs are
available in various grits. Coarse grits yield
faster material removal rates and a rougher
finish. Finer grits yield slower material
removal and a smoother finish.
Begin with coarse grit discs for fast, rough
material removal. Move to a medium grit
paper and finish with a fine grit disc for
optimal finish.
