Emery cloth is a type of abrasive that has emery glued to a cloth backing. It is commonly used for hand metalworking. Emery cloth has very good quality, hardness and durability. The larger the grade is, the smoother the finish. So, when we are using it, we start with the coarser grade (like P80) then we use a finer grade (like P180).

What is the difference between sandpaper and emery cloth?

They are very close relatives. Emery cloth is backed with, well... cloth instead of paper. Sandpaper is best for wood and working on flat surfaces. Emery cloth is usually used for metalworking and is better on a piece that has an intricate shape (whereas sandpaper will constantly break its backing paper and fall into pieces, emery cloth will hold together). The abrasives used on one and the other are also different. Bottomline... if a certain application calls for sandpaper and you only have emery cloth, chances are it'll work out just fine.

What are the differences between emery cloth and sandpaper in terms of their abrasive properties and applications?

Emery cloth is typically more durable and has a finer grit than sandpaper, making it suitable for polishing and finishing metal surfaces. Sandpaper, on the other hand, comes in a variety of grits and is more versatile for different materials such as wood, metal, and plastic. Sandpaper is generally more affordable and widely available compared to emery cloth.
