APPLICATIoNS
You may use this product for the purposes listed below:
 Sanding wood, metals, plastics, and other materials
 Smoothing rough boards, chamfering, rounding edges,
etc.
 Removing rust, paint, varnishes, and stains
SELECTING SANDING BELTS
Selecting the correct size and type of sanding belt is an
important step in achieving a high quality sanded finish.
Aluminum oxide, silicon carbide, and other synthetic
abrasives are best for power sanding.
Coarse grit removes the most material and fine grit
produces the best finish. The condition of the surface to
be sanded determines which grit will do the best job. If
the surface is rough, start with a coarse grit and sand until
the surface is uniform. Then use medium grit to remove
scratches left by the coarser grit. Finally, use finer grit for
finishing the surface. Always continue sanding with each
grit until the surface is uniform.
