What is the difference between emery cloth and sandpaper?

Emery cloth differs to sandpaper in several ways: Emery cloth has the abrasive glued to a cloth rather than paper, which makes it far sturdier and less inclined to tear in use. Emery cloth uses a form of corundum (or corundite) as the abrasive, rather than sand. Emery is longer lasting than sand as a glued abrasive.

Accordingly, what grit is sand cloth?

120 grit

Additionally, what grit is steel wool? I found these results quite interesting, as I often hear people say that 0000 steel wool is somewhere between p600-1000 grit, but I found that it was much finer than that! In context of what 0000 wool is often used for, it makes sense that it wouldn’t be that coarse.

One may also ask, whats an emery cloth used for?

* Emery cloth is a fine, natural abrasive used on metal for stripping and rust removal (coarse), for removing burrs and cleaning (medium) and for finishing and polishing (fine). Because of its slow cutting action, it’s being replaced by other abrasives.
