SANDING DISC SELECTION

Selecting the correct size grit 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 lef_ by the coarser grit and finer gdt used for finishing of the surface.

Always use the proper grit sanding disc, and not extra pressure when sanding. Continue sanding with each

grit until surface is uniform.
