Wood floor sanding is often done in 3 stages or "cuts" : first cut, second cut and final cut. The lowest grits, 12 grit through 36 grit, are selected for the first cut where you have to take off layers of old wood floor finish. For second cut, most contractors use 50 or 60 grit. For the final cut, most contractors finish with 80 grit or 100 grit with 100 grit being the most common choice. 120 grit can be used for the final cut depending on the project but it is used least often. Stopping the sanding process at 100 grit is desireable if staining the wood floor as it leaves the wood grain open enough for good absorption or penetration of stain. For a natural wood floor, where you don't intend to stain, either 100 grit or 120 grit can be used for the final cut to achieve the smoothest result.

WARNING: Some dust created by power sanding, sawing, grinding, drilling, and other construction activities contains chemicals known to the State of California to cause cancer and birth defects or other reproductive harm. Some examples of these chemicals are:
- lead from lead-based paints,
- crystalline silica from bricks and cement and other masonry products, and
- arsenic and chromium from chemically treated lumber.
Your risk from exposure to these chemicals varies, depending on how often you do this type of work. To reduce your exposure, work in a well-ventilated area and with approved safety equipment, such as dust masks that are specially designed to filter out microscopic particles.
