What grit sandpaper⁉️

############################# Video Source: www.youtube.com/watch?v=stBdO3MyIMw

A common misconception is that sandpaper is graded based on the number of particles per inch. And that’s kind of true, but mostly it’s about the size of the particles. • You may already know that the higher the number, the finer the grit. So a rough, 60 grit paper is for shaping and removing material and a 400 is a fine grit sandpaper used for smoothing and finishing. • The number designation refers to the number of holes in a one square inch screen. So a screen with 60 holes will allow larger particles to pass through, while a screen with 400 holes will only allow finer particles. • By the way, the coarsest grit I’ve ever seen is 16 and the finest is 7000. I would think at some point, the paper backing is finer than the sandpaper side! • But I would like to see a #1 grit. Just one rock every inch. • *** • Learn how to get started woodworking and set up shop for less than $1000.
