I am sanding down some ash board edges and ends with and though I mostly haven't had issues the board sitting on my 'workbench' right now ended up getting a bunch of pieces of the sandpaper grit stuck in the grain. Some on the face of the board too (I really need to get better at avoiding planer snipe). Specifically, I am using 80 grit silicon carbide paper from Industrial Abrasives:
Too much pressure? I generally just assume I am pushing too hard but I'm also generally pretty tense and have to make a conscious effort to relax. :[ I was folding rather than cutting.
I cut the paper. Rounded the edges of the sanding block I was using so the paper didn't wrap around a sharp corner. Tried to pay extra special attention to reducing pressure. It seemed better but there were still some flakes.
That's good to know. I bought the paper based on a few threads on here, but perhaps I needed to dig further. Looking back it appears that one member said he got the white line (the silicon carbide) while others did not specify. Hmm…
The white line discs are aluminum oxide… the white sheets are silicon carbide and are not actually called 'white line'. The aluminum oxide sheets are just called that (though the box is labeled Rhynalox). The discs are Rhynogrip white line but the paper itself is labeled Rhynalox.
Anyways, I'll presume that I just purchased the wrong type of sheets. The discs seem fine.
