Silicon carbide is especially great for sanding raw wood and removing old coatings. This product is highly recommended for initial sanding passes and low grits.
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.
Sold in Boxes of 3, 5, or 10 depending on the grit. See each grit for box quantity.
