It's actually common advice from most trained pros to use the coarsest grit needed to start any given job, although many leisure woodworkers (and not a few pros who didn't have formal training) start with the finest grit they can get away with and still seem to make good progress :-| So anyway, can you give us a better idea of what you're doing here — dimensions, woods used, just one or you're doing a few (or production work) etc. P.S. You're going to need to do something to lessen spelching AKA breakout on the trailing edge, in case you didn't know. | |

I'd imagine that, unless you are going into production with several machine finish steps and stations, you'd want to start with a modest 80-120 and then go from there. | |
