Choosing sanding belts
Different grades of sanding belts (coarse, medium and fine) can be bought from your dealer.
Use coarse sanding belts for rough work, medium belts to smooth the workpiece, and fine sanding belts
to finish off.
Try them out on a spare piece to see which grade is suitable for the job.
