DTS 400 Grit Recommendations

[James D]

Hi Guys,

Going to pick up a DTS 400 to do some refinishing on exterior painted wood door jambs/trim etc, wood porch posts as well as sanding steel lintels that span over 8 windows and 2 garage doors.  The lintels are about 3" in width and are lightly pitted with surface rust.  I just picked up a DF 500 so I'm looking for a MINIMUM selection of recommended sandpaper grits/types for now (toy fund is a little low after the DF500+extras purchase).  I do have an ETS 150 w/ a good selection of paper for the large areas on the  posts.

Thanks - James D

Granat 80, 120, 150. Use the 80 on the lintels.

60 or 80 for rough sanding. Then 120 to smooth it out. 180 if you want it super smooth.

Granat 80, 120, 150 are my most used abrasives.

He'll make up the prefect assortment for your application. If you can't decide for sure, just tell him you want the WOW assortment but for the DTS 400 instead of the RO90.

You won't be sorry...
