fine grit

Delicate sanding particles

Fine grit refers to abrasive particles of small size, used in sandpaper, grinding wheels, and polishing compounds.

The finer the grit, the smoother the finish it produces: Start with coarse sandpaper and work your way down to fine grit.

Grit size is measured numerically—higher numbers indicate finer particles.

Fine grit smooths surfaces and prepares them for finishing, while coarse grit removes material quickly.
