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. |

Good quality abrasives
Very good product (Makita)
Excellent grip. Tends to clog when sanding paint. Needs to be changed fairly often.
