%X Effects of the grit sizes of the sand belt, feeding speed and the feed  power of the heads of the sander on the surface roughness of the  particleboard panels were investigated. Two surface roughness  parameters, average roughness (R<sub>a</sub>) and mean peak-to-valley height (R<sub>z</sub>),  obtained from board surfaces were used in the analysis. Sanding factors  were found to have a significant effect on the surface roughness of the  particleboard. Better results were obtained with 40 m/min of feeding  speed, 40-60-80-120 of grit sizes, and 67 kW of the feed power of the  heads of the sander.
