Find the right product in 3 easy steps
Step 1: Application/Material
Select the material you wish to process from column 1 in the table below.
Step 2: Machine
Specify in column 2 if you will be working with an orbital sander or by hand.
Step 3: Shape
Decide in column 3 if the abrasive needs to be suitable for use on level surfaces, for applications on profiled workpieces or for both.
The symbols used in the table indicate for each application whether the application is:
a main application

Grit Size
The grit size indicates the abrasive grade on the abrasive side of the paper. A higher grit number indicates a smaller abrasive grain and a finer abrasive product. A “P” in front of the grit size indicates that the product is graded in accordance with the European FEPA standard (www.fepa-abrasives.org).
Indication of use
The terms coarse, medium and fine are often used in conjunction with grit size of abrasive grains. What grits sizes are located within the individual terms?
| 12,16,20 | super coarse | For extra deep and coarse cutting, e.g. floor sanding. |
| 24,30,36 | extra coarse | For coarse cutting. |
| 40,50,60 | coarse | For cutting and sanding uneven surfaces. |
| 80,100 | medium | For sanding marks and uneveness. |
| 120,150,180 | fine | For fine-sanding, and use between and after final surface treatment. |
| 220,240,280,320 | extra fine | For final sanding where there is a particular requirement for a smooth surface. |
| 400,500,600 | super fine | For final sanding where there is a particular requirement for an extra smooth surface. |
| 800, 1200 and finer | ultra fine | For final sanding where there is a particular requirement for and extremely smooth surface. |
Grit size tips
Grit sizes above 240 are defined as extra fine and used mostly on special hard, fine surfaces that require special considerations taken to the surface.
Hard woods are harder to grind than soft. Go up a grit size to avoid scratches you would have to spend extra time to sand away again.
Look for products with a P in front of the grit size. These have a uniform size of grains in its scale related to the FEPA P strandard. This ensures a smooth sanding.
Choose quality products - so you avoid irregularities in the paper that can damage the substrate.
How closely a product is coated - i.e. how many sand grains there are per m2 varies. Typically 50 to 75% of the surface is covered with grain. The coarse grit sizes are usually scattered more open than the finer. A densely littered product immediately gives a good performance at startup. A more open coat can give a better effect over time. This is because dust tends to adhere to the surface and this happens a lot faster with products that have a dense coat.
Wide range of possible applications
Klingspor's rolled abrasives are suitable for all types of applications: from hand grinding to use with hand-operated machines, from sanding profiles or moulded parts to finish grinding, from rough grinding wood and wood-based materials to finishing stainless steel surfaces.
Unsurpassed quality
Our rolled abrasives satisfy the toughest requirements on coated abrasives – no matter if you opt for the standard model or our custom slashed rolls designed for special applications.
