Two things have to match before grit matters — belt size and the machine it runs on. Sizes here cover 2 x 48, 3 x 18, 3 x 21, 3 x 24, 4 x 24, 4 x 36, 6 x 48, 6 x 89 and 16 x 48 in. Aluminum oxide belts in 36 through 320 grit are the general-purpose choice; zirconia cuts faster and lasts longer when you are leaning on the machine.
