Read and translate the text Sanding and finishing

Sanding removes tool marks and makes wood surfaces smooth for
finishing. Sanding should not begin until the wood has been cut to its
final size. Most abrasive paper manufactured for use by hand has rough
particles of the minerals flint or garnet. Aluminum oxide is a common
sanding material used in such machines as a portable belt sander or
a vibrating sander. Portable belt sanders work better than vibrating
sanders on large wood surfaces.
Woodworkers use a variety of finishes to protect wood and to bring
out the beauty of the grain. A stain is a dye that colors wood without
hiding the pattern and feel of the grain. Paint covers the grain of the
wood and provides a color of its own. Varnish, shellac, and lacquer
add a hard, glossy finish while exposing the beauty of the wood. Wax
protects varnish and has a smooth, shiny finish when polished. Enamel
is a type of glossy paint.
