I just ordered a new drum sander and it will be here tomorrow. I was wondering what grit paper you guys are using to make your tapers? I’m not sure what grit comes with it but I’m guessing it’s finer than what I should be using.

I use 60 for everything.

I like 60 too, some people go to as fine as 120

In my experience 120 clogs morning much faster. I like 60 or 80 grit much better

Zirc 80 grit.... Alum 60 grit...

Been using 80 but when I run out will likely drop to 60.

Thanks guys for the info. I just ordered a roll of 60 grit.

I use 34 grit and for one side of the veneers 100 grit .

I've used 36 grit on backed bows, trilams and such, but use 50 or 60 on glass bow lams.
