Available Grits
We offer grits between 12 and 120 – the smaller the number the coarser the grit. Coarser Grits are used for fast, aggressive stock removal, leveling and shaping and Finer Grits are used for projects with less stock removal where a better finish is required. If your application requires a grit size different than what we have listed please contact us.
Grit Classifications
12/14 – Extra Coarse
16/20/24 – Coarse
30/36/46 – Medium
54/60 – Medium Fine
80/120 – Fine
Grades and Hardness
Our hardness is rated from M-T with “M” being the softest grade. A Softer Wheel performs better for cutting/grinding harder materials while a Harder Wheel is preferred for softer materials. Letter designations of degree of hardness vary from one manufacture to another.
Grades of Hardness
M&N – Ultra Soft Used with Silicon
O – Very Soft
P – Soft
Q – Medium Soft
R – Medium
S – Medium Hard
T – Very Hard
