sanding sheets are available:
For the working of all
wooden materials
For coarse-sanding, e. g.
of rough, unplaned beams
and boards
For face sanding and plan-
ing small irregularities
For finish and fine sanding
of wood
For the working of paint/
enamel coats or primers
and fillers
For sanding off paint
For sanding primer
For final sanding of prim-
ers before coating
For reworking or polishing, especially of metal

Depending on the desired surface quality of the
workpiece, different fleece types or polishing
cloth pads are to be used.
