What is grit?

When talking about sandpaper ‘grit’ is a reference to the number of abrasive particles per inch of
sandpaper. The lower the grit the rougher the sandpaper and conversely, the higher the grit number the smoother the
sandpaper.

This make sense if you imagine how small the particles on an 1000-grit sandpaper would need to be to fit into a 1′
square (25,4mm square). Sandpaper is referred to by the size of its grit (Example 120-grit
sandpaper or P120 sandpaper).

Choice

You need to choose the grit size of sandpaper depending on the particular job you are trying to accomplish. For
heavy sanding and stripping, you need coarse sandpaper measuring 40- to 60-grit; for smoothing surfaces and removing
small imperfections, choose 80- to 120-grit sandpaper. For finishing surfaces smoothly, use a super fine sandpaper
with 360- to 600-grit. Many jobs require you to “go through the grits.” This means you start the project using
lower-grade grit and use finer pieces of sandpaper as you progress. Each time you advance to a higher grit
sandpaper, you remove the scratches from the previous layer.
