AI overview
Sandpaper is a sheet material coated with abrasive particles that comes in different grades of coarseness, ranging from very coarse (like 40-grit) to very fine (like 600-grit). It matters because these different grit sizes allow people to smooth, shape, or polish various surfaces depending on how rough or fine the finish needs to be.
