What Is the Definition of Sanding Sheets?

Abrasive sheet or pad consists of abrasive grain adhered onto the surface of a cloth, film, paper, non-woven or other backing usually with a die cut square or rectangular shape. Converted sheet products or hand pads may have a round or contoured shape. 

Sanding sheets are used to sand / smooth wood surfaces although they can be used to sand / smooth materials such as plastics and metals as well. When sanding wood, glasspaper is ‘clipped’ into the sheet sander. If the surface requires a lot of sanding then start with ‘coarse’ glasspaper rather than fine - as this will reduce the amount of time required. Fine glasspaper can be used to finish the surface so that it is smooth to touch. When in use the rectangular base vibrates at 1200 rpm (revolutions per minute). This ‘sands’ the surface of any material beneath it.
