Full details
These Flexovit 10-hole sanding sheets are designed for general-purpose sanding and stock removal, offering durability and performance for wood, paint, and metal surfaces.

FAQs
What type of abrasive material is used?
These sheets use High Performance Aluminium Oxide grit, known for its durability and sharp cutting ability.
What surfaces can these sheets be used on?
They are suitable for general-purpose sanding on wood, paint, and metal.
Why do these sheets have 10 holes?
The 10 holes are designed to work with compatible sanders to facilitate dust extraction, leading to a cleaner workspace.
How long will a single sheet last?
The heavy paper backing contributes to a longer lifespan compared to standard sheets, but longevity depends on the application, material, and usage intensity.
Are these sheets suitable for fine finishing?
While effective for general sanding and stock removal, they are best suited for preparing surfaces rather than final fine finishing stages, depending on the grit available.
Can I use these with any orbital sander?
These sheets are specifically for 115 x 280mm sanders with a 10-hole dust extraction pattern. Compatibility with other sander types or hole configurations is not guaranteed.
Troubleshooting
Sanding sheet tears easily.
Ensure the sheet is properly aligned and secured to the sander's pad. Avoid excessive pressure, especially on edges.
Poor dust extraction.
Verify that the 10 holes on the sanding sheet align with the dust ports on your sander. Check that your sander's dust collection system (bag or vacuum) is clean and functioning correctly.
Uneven sanding results.
Check for debris clogging the abrasive surface. Replace the sheet if it is worn out or damaged. Ensure consistent pressure and movement across the workpiece.
Sheet does not fit the sander.
Confirm that your sander accepts 115 x 280mm sheets and is designed for a 10-hole configuration. This product may not be compatible with sanders using different hole patterns or sizes.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: Attach the sanding sheet securely to a compatible orbital or sheet sander. Ensure the 10 holes on the sheet align with the dust extraction ports on your sander's backing pad for optimal dust collection. For best results, use with a sander equipped with a dust bag or vacuum system.
Compatibility: These sheets are designed for use with orbital sanders that accept sheets of size 115 x 280mm and feature a 10-hole dust extraction pattern. Always verify your sander's specifications before use.
Care: To maximize the life of the sanding sheet, tap it periodically against a hard surface to dislodge collected dust and debris. If the sheet becomes clogged or significantly worn, replace it promptly. Store sheets flat in a dry environment to prevent warping or damage.
