In other words, it tells you how quickly it will wear away the surface you\u2019re using it on. A lower grit means the abrasive particles on the paper are more extensive and will wear down wood or metal faster. Higher ratings work much slower but produce a smooth and polished surface.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1000\" height=\"631\" src=\"https:\/\/www.nccuttingtools.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/1-1.jpg\" alt=\"Polished wood uses the finest grit ranges\" class=\"wp-image-6797\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.nccuttingtools.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/1-1.jpg 1000w, https:\/\/www.nccuttingtools.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/1-1-300x189.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.nccuttingtools.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/1-1-768x485.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\"><em>Polished wood uses the most acceptable grit ranges<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Usually, professional wood or metal workers will begin the sanding process with a high grit to remove deep gouges and indentations.
