some will say 800-1500 paper. I use an orbital and though it goes through paper faster, it moves faster thus it tires the hand slower and gives a finer feel. This is deceiving in the beginning. but as you get up past the 1200's you use more and more paper and can get a really nice smooth. Wipe frequently with a rag, keep the surface clean, and wipe down with mineral spirits on anything that can take it. Just lightly treated cloth not wet. But that's for anyhing that can take mineral spirits, again.
