Sanding Belt Dimensions | 19"W x 48"L |
There are many types of sanding belts to choose from. We recommend aluminum oxide for general workshop envi- ronments.
The grit you choose will depend on the type of operation, the species of wood, and the stage of finishing. As a gen- eral guideline, refer to the chart below to help you select the right grit for your operation.
