Understanding Grit Ratings:

Sandpaper grit refers to the coarseness of the abrasive particles on the surface:

• 40 Grit (Very Coarse) – Ideal for aggressive material removal and initial prep work. Great for stripping heavy paint or flattening uneven surfaces.

• 60 Grit (Coarse) – Offers less aggressive cutting than 40 grit, but still fast enough for sanding down rough surfaces or removing old finishes. It’s often the next step after 40 grit before switching to medium or fine sanding.

For a smooth finish, professionals typically start with 40 grit, move to 60 or 80 grit, and finish with 120 or 240 grit depending on the application.
