Introduction
Sanding is one of the basic processes in woodworking, where norton sandpaper australia are used to trim the surface, but because there are many different types of norton sandpaper australia, and not all paper, the process can be confusing! Polishing on the surface is a process of gradually improving the scratches until they become so thin that they are invisible. This process usually starts with the use of coarse norton sandpaper australia and is then done in fine or even super fine (depending on the project).
Power or hand?
If you use a drum sander, strong sanding is a convenient way to quickly trim large flat areas or curved surfaces. There are many excellent machines available for all pockets and applications. It is essential that the vacuum cleaner be used consistently in any form of strong sanding because the dust generated is one of the most dangerous materials in the workshop and must be removed from the source. Workpieces for smaller areas or contouring are hand polished, and abrasive sanding discs are often used with cork blocks or sanding pads. Dust is still generated, so always use a respirator or mask and use a workshop vacuum to clean the surface.

Power and manual norton sandpaper australia are classified into coarse (40-80 coarse sand), medium (100-150), fine (180-240) and very fine (320 and above) grades.

Norton sandpaper australia
There are currently two commonly used sanding materials, the first being alumina, a very wear-resistant synthetic norton sandpaper australia that is suitable for all wood surfaces and can be found on all grinding media for both manual and power tools. The second material is silicon carbide, which is more commonly used in the body industry for waterproof “dry and wet” paper, but is also suitable for many other fine-tuning purposes.
