It’s not that easy produce a nice smooth wooden table if we don’t know the right methods. When cutting the wood, the texture is so rough we have to go through two steps: smooth surface treatment and polishing. To smooth, one must follow step by step in accordance with the grain size of the rough.
The larger the number (P1000, 1500, 2000, …), the smoother the better. Therefore, at the beginning, we use a large grain size (roughly equivalent to small numbers like P60, P80, P120, P240, …) for roughing, then scrubbing, until it reaches a certain level of smoothness, we will then proceed to polishing.
That is why the market has many types of sandpaper suitable for a variety of purposes and surfaces. In general, abrasive papers have four main types:
1. NET ABRASIVE ABRANET
Abranet ACE sandpaper is used for sanding many surfaces such as wood, composite, paint, metal, etc.
