320 Grit Sanding Discs: Ultra-Fine Prep for a Flawless Finish

320 grit sanding discs are designed for ultra-fine finishing and surface refinement. Found in the 5-Inch 8-Hole Sanding Discs, Hook & Loop, Assorted Grit (50-Pack), these discs produce a silky-smooth surface ready for high-end finishes, clear coats, or delicate touch-ups.

Why 320 Grit is the Finisher's Choice

It’s perfect for removing the smallest imperfections and creating a uniform texture without altering the shape or dimensions of your project. This grit is often used between coats or just before the final layer for an ultra-smooth result.

Best Uses for 320 Grit

  • Between Coats: Light scuff sanding to improve finish adhesion.
  • Final Prep: Prepares bare wood or primer for the last coat.
  • Automotive Finishing: Smooths clear coats before polishing.
  • Delicate Woodwork: Fine sanding for high-end furniture and cabinetry.

Tools & Setup

Step-by-Step: Using 320 Grit

  1. Prep the Surface: Ensure it’s already sanded to 220 grit or finer.
  2. Attach the Disc: Align the 8 holes for proper dust collection.
  3. Sand with Light Pressure: Let the abrasive do the workβ€”avoid forcing it.
  4. Work in Overlapping Passes: Cover the surface evenly.
  5. Clean Before Coating: Vacuum and tack cloth to remove all dust.

Pro Tips

  • Use a fresh disc for best resultsβ€”worn discs may scratch.
  • Always sand with the grain when working with wood.
  • Good lighting helps reveal any surface imperfections.

Common Mistakes

  • Starting with 320 Grit: Not suitable for heavy material removal.
  • Skipping This Step: May leave a less-than-perfect final finish.
