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
