How Do I Know What Grit of Sandpaper I Need

The grit you use depends on what job you are trying to do.

The lower the grit the rougher the sandpaper and conversely, the higher the grit number the smoother the sandpaper.

The table below gives you an idea of what grade you may need for your application.

Grade of Grit	Common Name	Uses
40-60	Coarse	Heavy sanding and stripping, roughing up the surface.
80-120	Medium	Smoothing of the surface, removing smaller imperfections and marks.
150-180	Fine	Final sanding pass before finishing the wood
220-240	Very Fine	Sanding between coats of stain or sealer.
280-320	Extra Fine	Removing dust spots or marks between finish coats
360-600	Super Fine	Fine sanding of the finish to remove some luster or surface blemishes and scratches.
