How To Use Sandpaper Correctly?

Aug 25, 2025

Sandpaper is a common grinding tool that is widely used in woodworking, metalworking, and automotive restoration. Proper use of sandpaper can effectively complete the work and ensure the surface quality of the workpiece.

 

First and foremost, choosing the right sandpaper is crucial.

 

The grit of sandpaper is indicated by its "number," with the higher the number, the finer the particles. Typically, we choose coarse, medium, and fine sandpaper to suit different work needs. Coarse sandpaper is suitable for grinding rough surfaces, while fine sandpaper is suitable for grinding smooth surfaces.

 

 

Secondly, the correct posture and strength are also the key to using sandpaper.

 

When grinding, keep the sandpaper parallel to the workpiece surface and apply force evenly to avoid uneven wear. At the same time, pay attention to its service life and replace it in time to maintain the grinding effect.

 

In addition, when using sandpaper for grinding, you also need to pay attention to protecting your own safety.

 

Sandpaper grinding produces a lot of dust, so you need to wear a mask and goggles to prevent the dust from harming your body. In addition, avoid putting your fingers under the sandpaper to avoid being worn.

 

In short, the correct use requires choosing the right sandpaper, the correct posture and strength, and paying attention to protecting your own safety. Only in this way can you complete the work effectively and ensure the surface quality of the workpiece.
