24 grit
Sandpaper currently is available in six different grit sizes. Every grit size is used for a different project. The sizes are 40-60, 80-120, 150-180, 220-240,280-320, and 360-600.
Granite is considered a coarse grained rock.
Coarse dust particles typically range from 10 to 50 micrometers in size, while granules are larger particles ranging from 2 to 4 millimeters in size. The exact size can vary depending on the specific material and how it is produced.
"Coarse" typically refers to something rough or having a larger particle size. It is often used to describe textures or materials that are not smooth or fine.
Coarse sand consists of larger grains compared to fine sand. It typically ranges in size from 2.0mm to 4.75mm in diameter. It is commonly used in construction for mixing concrete and as a base for pavers.
The 300 grit sandpaper is finer than the 180 grit. Grit numbers indicate the size of the abrasive particles; a higher number means smaller particles and a smoother finish. Therefore, 300 grit will produce a smoother surface compared to 180 grit, which is more coarse.
The recommended grit size for the coarsest sandpaper to use when sanding rough surfaces is typically around 60 to 80 grit.
The roughness of sandpaper is determined by the grit size, which refers to the number of abrasive particles per square inch on the sandpaper. A lower grit number indicates coarser sandpaper with larger abrasive particles, while a higher grit number indicates finer sandpaper with smaller abrasive particles. The grit size affects the level of abrasion and material removal when sanding.
By the amount and size of grit on the paper. The smaller the number, the less the grit of larger size. the bigger the number, the more the grit of smaller size. 60 grit would be for removing a lot of material, 320 grit would be for finer sanding.
Grit refers to the fineness of the sandpaper. Depending on the application for which you wish to use the sandpaper, choose the correct grit size. Example, general finish for timber flooring or fine finish for coffee tables etc.
The rougher the sandpaper, the more it takes off the material being sanded. The finer the grade (smoother) the smoother the finish will be. Rougher grades are used at the beginning to remove tool marks and shape the material, and you gradually work up to the finer grades for finish work. The very finest grades are used to polish the finish.

220 3m its a finer sand paper you can take the paint as low as you want with it it works great. You should always prime over a 220 grit scratch. It is the perfect size grit. If you are sanding primer so you can apply topcoat, finish with 400grit dry on a machine (DA) or 500 wet sand for a solid color enamel. Basecoat products, particularly metallics and pearls, need to be applied over a substrate that has been wet sanded with 600 grit.
Note: 1 centimetre is 10 millimetres. 15 Millimetres is one and a half millimetres. And rather a coarse grain sand , if not more towards small grit and gravel.
If the furniture is painted then you would need approx a 60-80 grit sandpaper, then gradually move to a finer paper. When paint is almost gone finish with about a 320 or 400 grit paper so it is completely smooth. If you want to repaint then you don't need to remove all the paint unless you are painting over an enamel paint with a latex. (oil based vs. water based). You can however prime it with a good primer once the wood is smoothed. Or if you remove all paint you can then stain it. before you paint/stain your wood be sure and remove all dust from the wood with a clean damp cloth. let wood dry and then proceed. good luck and wear a dust mask :-)
Grit is a word used in specification of grinding wheels. It is used with numbers. Grit means size of the grinding wheel abrasives. So 60 grit means the abrasives filtered in a sieve of size 60(60 slots/inch)
