Understanding Grit

The right grit is crucial to a successful sanding job. Grit refers to the size of the rough particles on the sanding disc. Lower grit numbers, such as 40 or 60 grit flap disc, are rougher and can help you to obliterate a lot of material quickly. Higher grits, such as 120 or 220, are finer and are used prior to finishing a surface.

Size and Compatibility

The disc too small can result in inconsistent sanding, and possibly damaging your project. And you’ll also want to ensure your sanding bag is compatible with your power tool for optimal results.

Clean them frequently using a brush or a wiping stick to remove dust and dirt. Sanding with the appropriate pressure and speed can also help reduce wear on your discs.
