Grit refers to the fineness of the sandpaper. Depending on the application for which you wish to use the sandpaper, choose the correct grit size. Example, general finish for timber flooring or fine finish for coffee tables etc.
How is the roughness of sandpaper determined?
The roughness of sandpaper is determined by the grit size, which refers to the number of abrasive particles per square inch on the sandpaper. A lower grit number indicates coarser sandpaper with larger abrasive particles, while a higher grit number indicates finer sandpaper with smaller abrasive particles. The grit size affects the level of abrasion and material removal when sanding.

Dffrence between 180 grit sandpaper and 60 grit sandpaper?
The higher the number code printed on the back of all sandpaper the finer the grit. With a little practice you can begin to understand what grit is appropriate for any given job. For instance, I refinish hardwood floors and it requires three courses of sanding. To help quickly remove an old finish from hardwood floors I start with a very course #20 sandpaper. It is so rough that it removes a large amount of material pretty quickly. Then, when I have sanded the floor down to bare wood I "step up" to 60 grit sandpaper. Once I've gone over the entire floor with the 60 grit I "step up" again to the finer 100 grit paper. When refinishing wood floors or furniture it is necessary to use several courses of sanding to help remove the deep scratches created by the rougher grits of sandpaper. I hope this helps. John
