SANDING DISC SELECTION _
Selecting the correct size _rit and type sanding disc is an
extremely important step in achieving a high quality sanded
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 forfinishing of the surface. Always continue sanding
with each grit until surface is uniform.
