SANDING DISC SELECTION
Selectingthe correct size grit and type sandingdisc is
an extremely important step in achievinga highquality
sandedfinish. Aluminum oxide, siliconcarbide, and
other syntheticabrasivesare bestfor power sanding.
Natural abrasives, such as flintand game_are too soft
for economicaluse in power sanding.

and finergrit wig producethe best finish in all sanding
operations.The condition ofthe surface to be sanded
will determinewhich gritwill do the job. If the surface is
rough, startwith e coarse gdt and sand untilthe surface
is uniform.Medium grit may then be used to remove
scratchesleft by the coarser gritand finer gdt used for
finishingof the surface.
Always use the proper grit sandingdisc,and notextra
pressurewhen sanding. Continue sanding with each
grit until surface is uniform,
