The Role of Abrasives in Woodworking
Coated abrasives such sand paper sheets, abrasive discs, sanding belts, wide belts and abrasive drum covers dimension and finish a wide variety of wood products. Grit ranges employed in woodworking can vary from coarse (low grit sizes) to very fine (high grit sizes). Depending on the specific applications, aluminum oxide, silicon carbide, alumina-zirconia (NorZon®) and ceramic abrasives on paper, film, fibre or cloth backings have a role in woodworking.
