At what point do you switch from powerlock discs to regular sandpaper?
I seldom use 240grit or finer discs anymore....handheld sandpaper just does a better job at this fine a grit. I usually go from 150grit discs to regular sandpaper. After using the 150grit discs, I usually go down one step and start paper sanding with 120grit paper, and progress to finer grits of sandpaper from there.
Depending on the tool finish and species, I normally start disc sanding anywhere from the occasional 60grit on up to 150g. Most of my sanding starts at the 80grit to 100grit level.
BTW: Have they discontinued the 120grit 2" discs????
