Norton

Norton produces sanding belts for stationary belt sanders, hook-and-loop and PSA discs for random-orbit and disc sanders, hand sanding sheets, and specialty abrasives for detail and finish work. Each form factor is available in multiple grits suited to different stages of wood surface preparation.

Aluminum oxide is a versatile, cost-effective abrasive well suited for general hardwood and softwood sanding across a wide grit range. Ceramic alumina is a harder, sharper-cutting mineral that stays aggressive longer under heavy use—making it the better choice for rapid stock removal or demanding production work.

Most woodworkers finish sanding to 150 or 180 grit before applying an oil-based stain, and to 180 or 220 grit before a water-based product. Sanding finer than necessary can close the wood grain and reduce color absorption, so stopping at the right grit matters as much as grit progression.

Sanding at the correct speed and pressure, clearing dust with a cleaning stick, and choosing an abrasive with an anti-loading stearate coating all help extend belt life. Hardwoods and resinous species load belts faster than open-grained softwoods.

Yes. Norton produces wet-dry papers and stearated finishing sheets suitable for sanding between coats of lacquer, varnish, or polyurethane. Using a fine stearated abrasive between coats levels the surface and removes dust nibs without cutting through the finish.
