SANDPAPER SELECTION

Choosing the right size, grit and type of sandpaper maximizes the quality of your sanded finish. Aluminum oxide,

silicon carbide, and other synthetic abrasives are best for power sanding as nautral 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 the right grit for 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 the

scratches left by the coarser grit while a finer grit can be used for finishing. Always continue sanding with each grit

until surface is uniform.

NOTE: DO NOT use sander without sandpaper. Doing so will damage the sanding base.
