This paper examines the impact of the sanding system on automatic sanding machine in real production conditions on the surface roughness of medium density fibreboard (MDF). The surface of samples was egalized by sanding on wide–belt sanding machine using P80 grit sanding belt. Afterwards, the samples were sanded on the 4 aggregate automatic sanding machine at sanding speed of 14 m/s in a two-step process with the following sanding belt grits: P120+P150 and P120+P180, using two conveyor speeds: 8 and 12 m/min. In the first stage of sanding, the samples were sanded by narrow belt aggregate, with sanding direction perpendicular towards the processing direction of sample in sanding machine. The second stage of sanding was conducted on the wide-belt aggregate, with sanding direction parallel towards the processing direction of sample in sanding machine. The surface roughness was measured by the contact-mechanical gauge and expressed by parameters Ra, Rz and Rt. As expected, results confirmed that sanding belt grit in the last stage of sanding had significant effect on the surface roughness of MDF. On the other hand, variation of speed of conveyor did not affect the surface roughness of MDF, for both combinations of sanding belt grits.
