SANDING BELT GRIT APPLICATIONS
• 60 grit -Used for heavy stock removal and rough surfaces,
and truing warped material.
• 80 grit - Used for general purpose sanding, stock removal,
surfacing, and rough finishing.
• 150 grit - Used for fine finishing.
• 220 grit - For very fine finishing.
For best results,sand first with a coarse grit belt, and work
toward a finer grit belt.
IMPORTANT: Sanding progressionshould not exceed more
than two belt grits at one time. Watch the for sawdust loading
and dullingof the grit. The extra load will cause the sander to
work inefficiently.
