Problem

How should I cut sandpaper sheets?

The user wants to cut full sheets into smaller pieces.

Answer

Cut sheets to the size needed and keep the grit number identified so pieces do not get mixed.

Why it happens
Smaller pieces are easier to handle for blocks, corners, and wet sanding.
Recommended grit
Cut any selected grit to the size needed for the tool or hand sanding area.
Wet or dry
Wet or dry use.
Success check
The cut piece fits the sanding block or work area and the grit is known.

What to do

  1. Mark the sheet size needed.
  2. Cut with scissors or a utility knife on a safe cutting surface.
  3. Keep grit labels or note the grit number.
  4. Use a clean edge for fine work.
Avoid: Do not mix cut pieces without tracking the grit number.
