FAQs

What is the primary use for 60-grit sanding discs?

60-grit discs are best for aggressive material removal, such as stripping paint, removing heavy rust, or initial shaping of wood and metal.

Can these discs be used for fine finishing?

No, 60-grit is a coarse grit and is not suitable for fine finishing. You would need higher grit discs (e.g., 120, 180, 220) for smoother finishes.

What size sander do I need for these discs?

These discs are 125mm (5 inches) in diameter and are designed for compatible 125mm portable disc sanders.

Are these discs suitable for all types of wood?

Yes, they can be used on most wood types for initial stock removal or preparation. However, always test on an inconspicuous area first.

How many discs are in a pack?

Each pack contains 25 sanding discs.

What is aluminium oxide abrasive?

Aluminium oxide is a durable and widely used abrasive material known for its effectiveness in cutting through materials and its longevity in sanding applications.

Can I use these discs with wet sanding techniques?

While some sanding discs can be used wet, fibre-backed discs are generally intended for dry use. Check your specific sander's capabilities and the disc manufacturer's recommendations.

Troubleshooting

Disc not adhering properly to the sander.

Ensure the sander's backing pad is clean and free of debris. Verify that the disc is correctly aligned and pressed firmly onto the pad.

Premature wear of the sanding disc.

Check for excessive pressure during sanding. Ensure you are using the correct grit for the material and task; a 60-grit disc is for aggressive removal, not fine finishing.

Uneven sanding marks.

Inspect the disc for damage or clogging. Move the sander in a consistent pattern across the surface, avoiding excessive pressure in one area.

Disc slips or spins during operation.

Confirm the disc is securely attached to the sander's backing pad. Check that the backing pad itself is securely fastened to the sander.

  • Designed for seamless use with portable disc sanders.
  • Bulk pack offers cost-effectiveness for frequent users.

Cons

  • Best suited for coarse material removal; not for fine finishing.
  • Requires a compatible portable disc sander.
  • Fibre-backed design may not be ideal for extremely wet applications.
  • Specific grit may not suit all project stages.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: Attach the fibre-backed disc to your compatible portable disc sander. Ensure the sander is switched off and unplugged before mounting. Align the disc with the sander's backing pad and secure it according to your sander's manual.

Compatibility: These discs are designed for use with standard 125mm (5-inch) portable disc sanders that utilize a fibre backing system. Always check your sander's specifications to confirm compatibility.

Care: Store the discs in a dry environment to maintain the integrity of the adhesive and abrasive. Avoid exposure to moisture or extreme temperatures. Regularly inspect discs for wear during use and replace them when the abrasive becomes dull or the backing shows signs of damage.
