What are the different types of backing?
This decision is made by the type of abrasive and grit you have selected or the type of process you will be performing with the abrasive.

Paper - Used mainly for wood finishing in weights from A, C, D, E and F. “A” is the lightest weight.

Cloth - Produces a flexible backing in a wide range of weights. The more popular “J” and “X” weights are standard stock items. The “J” weight is the lightest and most flexible whereas the “X” weight is a heavier backing providing the widest range of use.

The weight of the backing is usually specified after the grit number. For example, 40D means 40 grit with "D" weight backing.
