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 800-grit sandpaper would need
to be to fit into a 1′ square. Sandpaper is referred to by the size of its grit
(i.e. 150-grit 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.
