How to Choose the Right Grit
Selecting the correct grit is key to achieving professional results. Start with a coarse grit (P40–P80) to strip paint, remove rust, or flatten rough surfaces. Move to a medium grit (P100–P220) for general sanding and surface preparation. Finish with a fine or ultra-fine grit (P400–P2000) for polishing, lacquer preparation, or achieving a glass-smooth surface. Always work progressively through the grits for the best outcome.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What is the difference between aluminum oxide sanding belts and Trizact sanding belts?
A: Aluminum oxide (A/O) sanding belts use a conventional abrasive grain bonded to a backing and are ideal for general-purpose sanding and grinding of wood and metal at an affordable price. Trizact sanding belts, such as our 442mm Trizact Belts, use a structured, three-dimensional abrasive coating that wears away evenly, delivering a more consistent finish and longer belt life — making them the preferred choice for precision metalworking and fine surface finishing.
Q: How do I know which sanding belt size fits my machine?
A: Sanding belt sizes are expressed as Width × Length (e.g., 2"×48" or 50×1220mm). Check your belt sander's manual or the worn belt itself for its dimensions. We stock a broad range including 2"×48" belts, 2"×36" belts, and 3"×21" belts, among others, so you're sure to find a match.
Q: What does hook & loop backing mean on sanding discs?
A: Hook & loop (also known by the brand name Velcro®) backing allows you to attach and remove sanding discs quickly and securely from a compatible random orbital or disc sander pad without adhesive. Our 5" Hook & Loop Sanding Discs and 12" Hook & Loop Sanding Discs feature this convenient system, saving you time on disc changes and reducing downtime during projects.
Q: Can I use sanding discs and belts on both wood and metal?
A: Yes — most aluminum oxide abrasive belts and discs in our collection are rated for use on both wood and metal. Products like our 4"×24" Sanding Belts and 2"×63" AO Sanding Belts are explicitly designed for multi-material use. Always choose the appropriate starting grit for your material and application, and ensure your sander speed is suitable for the workpiece.
