Product Information

Full details

The Bosch EXPERT C470 Sanding Sheets (Grit 120) are designed for professionals and serious DIYers who need to quickly and efficiently sand paint and wood. Offering up to twice the speed of previous models, these sheets excel in abrasive power and dust management, thanks to Bosch Surface Structure and an anti-clog coating. A potential drawback is the specialized nature of its aggressive grain for optimal performance, which might be overkill for very delicate tasks. Key features include its rapid material removal, superior dust resistance, and hook-and-loop attachment.

FAQs

What is Grit 120 suitable for?

Grit 120 is considered a medium-coarse grit, ideal for removing old finishes, leveling uneven surfaces, stripping paint, and preparing wood for coarser grits or for primer.

How does the anti-clog coating work?

The anti-clog coating is a stearate layer applied to the sandpaper that reduces friction and prevents dust and debris from sticking to the grit, maintaining its cutting ability for longer.

Can I use these on metal?

These sheets are primarily designed for paint and wood. For metal sanding, specific metal abrasives are generally recommended for optimal results and tool longevity.

What is the benefit of Bosch Surface Structure?

Bosch Surface Structure refers to the engineered pattern of the grit, which helps in efficient material removal and reduces the risk of deep scratches, contributing to a smoother finish.

How do I know when to change the sanding sheet?

You'll notice a decrease in sanding speed, increased dust buildup that doesn't dislodge easily, or the grit appearing visibly worn down. Replace the sheet when its effectiveness diminishes.

Are these sheets reusable?

While the anti-clog coating helps them last longer than standard sandpaper, they are consumables and will eventually wear out. They are not designed for indefinite reuse.

What is the size of these sanding sheets?

The dimensions of these sanding sheets are 80 x 133 mm.

Troubleshooting

Sandpaper not sticking to sander

Ensure the hook-and-loop surfaces on both the sandpaper and the sander's pad are clean and free of dust or debris. Check that the sandpaper is aligned correctly with the pad.

Reduced sanding performance over time

Gently tap the sandpaper on a hard surface to remove accumulated dust. If clogging persists or the grit is noticeably worn, replace the sheet.

Excessive dust escaping work area

Ensure your sander's dust extraction system is properly connected and functioning. While the sandpaper has an anti-clog coating, effective dust collection from the tool is crucial for a clean workspace.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Significantly faster sanding speeds.
  • Excellent dust resistance prevents premature clogging.
  • Provides a clean and efficient finish.
  • Durable and long-lasting performance.
  • Easy and secure attachment system.

Cons

  • May be too aggressive for very fine, delicate finishing tasks.
  • Requires a compatible hook-and-loop sander.
  • Higher initial cost compared to standard sandpaper.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: To set up the Bosch EXPERT C470 Sanding Sheets, ensure your sanding tool is powered off and disconnected from its power source. Align the sheet with the sanding pad on your tool, utilizing the hook-and-loop backing for a secure and precise attachment. Apply light pressure to ensure full contact.

Compatibility: These sanding sheets are designed for use with orbital sanders or other sanding tools that feature a hook-and-loop (Velcro-style) attachment system and match the sheet dimensions (80 x 133 mm). Always verify compatibility with your specific tool.

Care: While designed to resist clogging, to maintain optimal performance, periodically tap the sandpaper against a hard surface to dislodge accumulated dust. Avoid excessive pressure, which can prematurely wear down the grit. Store sheets in a dry place away from moisture and extreme temperatures to preserve their adhesive backing and abrasive qualities.
