N2  - Despite the extensive use of rubberwood(Hevea brasiliensis) as a raw material for high-volume furniture production, information on its sanding properties is relatively sparse. This study was carried out to provide some fundamental understanding of the sanding properties of the material, from an industrial perspective. The results suggests that the sanding process is suitable for low moderate stock removal, for it ensures optimal process economics. Further, silicone carbide abrasive belts perform better than aluminium oxide abrasive belts for the sanding of rubberwood
