I have been asked many times what I use for sanding to get the finish I do on my turning. I've put together this selection of sandpapers to get you started. It is important you don't miss any grits or time is wasted over sanding as heat checks can develop and unnecessary wear on the paper occurs.

I have been using Astra Dot papers to sand my woodturned crafts and carved artwork for a number of years. After rigorous tests against other papers on the market I have come to the conclusion that this is an excellent sandpaper. It has a good lifetime, good bonding, works well with a wide variety of woods and appears to have quite uniform particle size. 

The main feature of Astra Dot sandpaper is the backing which is incorporated as one piece to form a pre-determined pattern structure. This prevents loading, reduces heat generation, requires lighter sanding pressure, and gives longer sanding life. The Velcro doesn’t de-bond, unlike other papers where the backing will separate from the stuck-on sand paper with friction. This makes it a longer lasting sandpaper.

This product is ideal for the woodturner, wood carver, wood artist, lathe worker or boat builder. 

See the following link for how I prolong the life of the papers and reduce heat checks and dust.
