Type of Sanding and Finishing
Coarse grits are best suited for heavy material removal tasks. They are commonly used for stripping paint, removing rough imperfections, or shaping wood surfaces.
Ideal products for these grit sizes include furniture with thick coatings, large wooden structures, or surfaces with significant roughness
Medium grits are versatile and widely used for general sanding purposes. They are effective for leveling surfaces, smoothing rough wood, or preparing wood for finishing.
These grit sizes are suitable for various wooden products such as cabinets, doors, shelves, or wooden furniture that requires moderate material removal and surface refinement.
Fine grits are ideal for intermediate sanding stages. They are used to remove smaller imperfections, fine-tune surfaces, and achieve a smoother texture on wood.
Products that benefit from these grit sizes include wooden crafts, decorative items, or smaller furniture pieces where a higher level of surface smoothness is desired.
Extra-fine grits are commonly used for fine sanding tasks and preparing wood for staining or applying finishes. They help in achieving a smooth and even surface texture, ensuring optimal absorption of stains or finishes.
These grit sizes are suitable for wooden furniture, cabinets, or surfaces that require a polished and refined appearance.
