Not sure which grit? Tell us your leather and the finish you want — we recommend the paper.
Both papers carry precisely coated aluminium oxide on antistatic paper, so buffing dust releases instead of building up on the sheet. Choose by the finish you need: KP936E to cut and even out, KP903E to go fine without clogging.
Strong treated aluminium oxide on a 225 g backing with double resin bond: fast cutting, even removal, uniform surface. Built for leather buffing as well as paint, primer filler, wood, metal and plastic.
Best for: splits, suede and corrected grain.

Typical starting points on a tannery buffing machine. Every article buffs differently: send us your leather type and the result you need, and we confirm paper and grit before you order.
Flesh-side buffing to open and even out the nap on splits and suede.
Grain correction before finishing: removes defects while keeping the surface even.
Fine grain buffing for a short, uniform, velvety nap.
Very fine buffing and light sanding between finish coats, where the anti-clogging coat keeps the paper cutting.
Grit ranges are general guidance, not a specification for your article.
