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.

The general rule of thumb is to sand a workpiece with progressively higher grit numbers, with no one grit increase of more than 50. Avoid skipping grits—the larger the grit increase, the harder it will be to remove the scratches from the previous grit.
