How to Choose the Right Abrasive
Abrasive Grain Types

Ceramic (Monster\u00ae): The most aggressive grain — self-sharpening and long-lasting. Best for heavy stock removal on hardwood floors and tough finishes.
Silicon Carbide (Premium Pro): Extremely hard grain ideal for sanding between coats of finish, working with stone, and concrete polishing.
Zirconia Alumina (Z-Kut\u2122): Self-sharpening grain that fractures to expose fresh edges. Excellent balance of cut rate and belt life for everyday sanding.

Grit Selection Guide

Coarse (24-40 grit): Heavy removal — stripping old finishes, leveling uneven boards, and aggressive concrete prep.
Medium (60-80 grit): General sanding — smoothing after coarse passes and preparing surfaces for stain or sealer.
Fine (100-150 grit): Final sanding — achieving a smooth surface ready for finish application with minimal scratch pattern.
