With coarser grits, the heat tends to leave the piece with the ground off pieces (chips and sparks). Higher grits tend to leave the heat in the piece. So, for the same grinding speed and pressure, something being ground with a 24 grit belt will not get as hot as something being ground with a 220 grit belt. This becomes especially true at grits above about 600.
