• What is 8g best used for on a file belt sander?
  80g is ideal for general sanding and surface preparation, smoothing after coarse belts and getting surfaces ready for finer finishing stages.

  Aluminium oxide is durable and versatile, providing consistent sanding performance across wood and many common materials in DIY and trade work.
