Your sandpaper is graded according to the amount of abrasive particles (grit) per square inch. The six abrasive categories range from course to super fine and between them include medium, fine, very fine and extra fine. Your choices will depend on the finish you hope to achieve. These particles or categories consist of one of four minerals that make up sandpaper: aluminum oxide, garnet, ceramic (alumina zirconia) and silicon carbide.
