Tier: Pro tier

Use it when

The fit is obvious.

· Reach for the Festool Granat 5" 320 Grit when the job is between-coat finishing, lacquer prep, and Festool sanders: that is the fight it was built for.
· Ceramic grain fractures into fresh edges as it wears, so it stays hungry long after cheaper grit goes dull and starts rubbing instead of cutting.
· This is refinement territory. It flatters a surface that is already close; it will not rescue a rough one.

Skip it when

The job asks for something else.

· Leave it if you still need to remove stock, paint, filler, or machine marks; fine grit only polishes over problems it cannot fix.
· Leave it if the budget is tight enough that value-per-pack matters more than top-end feel and longevity: good mid-tier paper will get you there slower.
· Leave it if the work is edges, profiles, and tiny repairs: those are easier to control by hand.

Best for

Where it earns its keep.

· between-coat finishing
