SANDPAPER INSTALLATION
SANDPAPER GRIT SIZE
Your drum sander comes with 80-grit sandpaper pre-installed. The grit size of sandpaper determines
the finish of the surface. The lower the grit number, the coarser the sandpaper and the rougher the
sanded surface. The higher the grit number, the finer the sandpaper and the smoother the sanded
surface. Typically, begin sanding with a coarse grit sandpaper and progressively work through finer
grits until the desired finish or thickness is achieved.
Experiment with different sanding grits on a scrap workpiece to determine the result of the sanded
surface. Refer to the chart below for the characteristics and uses associated with different sandpaper
girt sizes.
SANDPAPER PREPARATION
Sandpaper for drum sanders are trimmed specifically to properly wrap around the sanding drum. You
can find pre-cut drum sander sandpaper that is ready to use and requires no measuring or trimming.
You can also purchase a 3-1/4 inch (82mm) wide sandpaper roll and trim it using the diagram below
or your existing sandpaper as a template.
NOTE:
Your friends at WEN offer pre-cut sandpaper in different grit sizes specifically for your drum
sander. Sandpaper can be ordered from wenproducts.com by searching the model number 65910.
