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)

How is sandpaper measured?

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.


Dffrence between 180 grit sandpaper and 60 grit sandpaper?

The higher the number code printed on the back of all sandpaper the finer the grit. With a little practice you can begin to understand what grit is appropriate for any given job. For instance, I refinish hardwood floors and it requires three courses of sanding. To help quickly remove an old finish from hardwood floors I start with a very course #20 sandpaper. It is so rough that it removes a large amount of material pretty quickly. Then, when I have sanded the floor down to bare wood I "step up" to 60 grit sandpaper. Once I've gone over the entire floor with the 60 grit I "step up" again to the finer 100 grit paper. When refinishing wood floors or furniture it is necessary to use several courses of sanding to help remove the deep scratches created by the rougher grits of sandpaper. I hope this helps. John

Where would you find the terms 80 grit 100 grit and 120 grit?

terms used mostly on sand paper, emery cloth, or other fine abrasive materialYou should always know the type of wood you are finishing before starting any sanding. The type of wood you are sanding has a direct relationship to the grit used for final sanding. There are two basic types of wood - softwoods and hardwoods.Typical softwoods are Pine and Fir. Softwoods can be finish sanded with 150 or 180 grit prior to the application of primer. Please see Grit Guide for more information:Grit GuideVery Fine (220) For light sanding between stain and sealer. Fine (150-180) For final sanding or cleaning of wood surfaces. Medium (100-120) For moderate removal of surface imperfections. Course (60-80) For heavy removal of wood and coatings. * http://www.nortonconsumer.com/Data/Element/Node/Application/Application_edit.asp?ele_ch_id=A0000000000000001555"What are the grit sizes equivalent to?"
