The grit on garnet paper is made up of sharp, angular particles that scratch and abrade the material being sanded. As the paper is used, these sharp edges break down and expose fresh cutting edges, maintaining its abrasive effectiveness.

Why do coins have smooth and rough edges?

Coins have smooth edges to make them easy to stack and handle. Rough edges, also known as reeded edges, are added to coins as a security feature to prevent counterfeiting by making it difficult to file down or alter the edges of the coin.

Why would you use garnet to make sandpaper?

Sandpaper is made with corundum because it is extremely hard (9 on the Moh's Scale of Hardness) compared to just about anything else, except diamond (which top the scale at 10). This "hardness" is basically the factor which determines what happens when scraped against another material. If the corundum in the sandpaper is harder than whatever you are rubbing it against, then it will scratch the surface. If the sandpaper is used on something harder than corundum, the sandpaper will not be able to leave abrasions. Corundum is used because there are very few materials which it will fail to scratch.


What rock has sharp edges?

Rocks that have sharp edges are often formed from the cooling and solidification of magma. These cooling processes can occur quickly, resulting in the formation of sharp edges and angular shapes. Some examples of rocks that may have sharp edges include basalt, obsidian, and flint.
