    I think they are very similiar. Some sand cloth has holes in it so it does not load up. Should polish the knuckles very well ;)

    Emery paper/cloth is a different abrasive from sand - corundum, aka ruby - it's conductive. Corundum is 9 on the mhos scale of hardness (diamond is 10). Very high quality, fast cutting abrasive. You're warned not to use emery cloth on commutators because the debris can form conductive bridges.
