- It is suitable for tasks such as weld grinding, removing weld spatter, or grinding down rough surfaces.
- Grit 40 is commonly used when significant stock removal is required or when working with harder metals.
2. Grit 60:
- Grit 60 is slightly finer than grit 40 but still falls in the coarse range.

- Grit 60 can be used for smoothing out rough surfaces, removing weld marks, or preparing surfaces for further finishing.
3. Grit 80:
- Grit 80 falls in the medium range and offers a balance between material removal and surface finish.
- It is commonly used for blending, deburring, and light grinding applications.
- Grit 80 can be used for removing scratches, refining surfaces, or preparing surfaces for paint or coating.
4. Grit 100:
- Grit 100 is a medium-fine grit that provides a smoother finish compared to coarser grits.
- It is suitable for intermediate grinding, blending, and surface preparation tasks.
- Grit 100 can be used for removing minor imperfections, refining surfaces, or preparing surfaces for finer finishes.
5. Grit 120:
- Grit 120 is a fine grit that provides a smoother and more polished finish.
- It is suitable for light material removal, surface blending, and final finishing tasks.
- Grit 120 is commonly used for achieving a smooth surface, removing fine scratches, or preparing surfaces for painting or coating.
