The type of sandpaper you use for your project will depend
on various factors, including surface material, desired finish, and personal
preference. And for this reason, there are various types of sandpaper to
accommodate the numerous sanding applications as well.

Continue reading to review a list of the most well-known and
popular forms of sanding paper, as well as, where to get the highest quality
products at the most competitive prices.

Sheets

One of the most common forms of sandpaper are sanding
sheets. This is usually the preferred go-to tool for anyone doing their own
repairs, renovations, woodworking projects, and similar projects. Sandpaper
sheets can be purchased at any local home improvement store or hardware store,
as well as, online through private manufacturers. They usually come in sheets
of squares, and are available in a diverse selection of sanding grits, from
very course to very fine. Grits generally range from as low as 40 to a high as
240, depending on the brand.

Rolls

Sandpaper rolls are another common product, but more popular
among contractors, builders, and professional craftsman. In contrast to sanding
sheets, rolls are usually in bulk. They come as one single type of grade per
roll, but in a wide range of widths. Sandpaper rolls can be acquired at any
local home improvement store or hardware store, as well as, online through
private manufacturers. Generally, they are sold by linear length. Common widths
include 50 and 115mm.

Discs

Sandpaper discs are used for rotatory sanders, such as random
orbital sanders and other types of handheld sanding devices. They attach to the
back of the tool with a screw or an adhesive connection. Because they can be
used with so many power tools, they come in a diverse range of diameters. Just
remember to always match the disc diameter with the size of the sandpaper.

Belts

Sanding belts are used belt sanding machines. There are
various types of belt sanders on the market, ranging in size, brand, quality,
and more. For this reason, sanding belts are also available in a wide selection
of grits, widths, and lengths. There is a sanding belt for every belt sander on
the market!

Specialty

Specialty sandpaper is used for those newer model sanding
tools that are designed with non-standard foot prints, which require custom,
pre-cut sanding paper. These pre-cut pieces come in various shapes and sizes to
accommodate these innovative sanding tools, and attach with a self-adhesive
backing.
