			=====Description=====

	[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Abrasive '''Abrasive papers'''] and cloths are used for finishing wood metal and plastics. Various abrasive grits, including emery, garnet, sandstone, glass powder and silicon carbide, are graded by passing through sieves. The [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sandpaper#Grit_sizes '''grit size'''] is given as the sieve mesh size per inch - low numbers for coarse and high for fine.
