Abrasive Grade

The grit size indicates the abrasive grade on the abrasive side

A higher grit number indicates a smaller abrasive grain and a finer abrasive product. A “P” in front of the grit size indicates that the product is graded in accordance with the European FEPA standard.

Do not start the sanding operation with a too coarse grit size. This will only creat extra work when sanding with a finer grit size.
