FAQs

What is the main advantage of the 'Open Net Structure'?

The open net structure allows for superior dust extraction across the entire surface of the disc, leading to a cleaner workspace, a better finish, and faster material removal by preventing dust from interfering with the abrasive grains.

Is the 80G grit suitable for fine finishing?

No, 80 grit is a coarse grit designed for aggressive stock removal. For fine finishing, you would need to progress to much finer grits like 120G, 180G, 240G, or higher.

How does 'Anti-Clog Technology' work?

It uses a stearate release agent on the abrasive surface that helps to prevent dust and debris from sticking to the disc. This reduces heat build-up and minimizes clogging, especially on materials like resinous timber and paint.

Can I use these discs with any orbital sander?

These 150mm discs are designed for standard 150mm hook and loop orbital sanders. You will need a compatible backing pad on your sander for the hook and loop system to work.

What types of materials can be sanded with these discs?

These discs are suitable for a wide range of materials including wood, paint, plastic, filler, plaster, and metal.

How do I ensure the disc is securely attached?

Ensure the hook and loop surfaces are clean and press the disc firmly onto the corresponding backing pad on your sander until it feels securely attached.

Are these discs available in other grits?

Yes, Trend offers these mesh sanding discs in a range of grits, typically from 80G up to 400G, to suit various stages of sanding.

Troubleshooting

Disc not adhering to the backing pad.

Ensure the hook and loop surfaces on both the disc and the pad are clean and free from dust or debris. Press down firmly to secure the disc.

Rapid clogging of the abrasive.

This is common with very resinous woods or sticky paints. Try reducing sanding pressure, sanding in shorter bursts, or using a finer grit if appropriate for the task. Ensure dust extraction is functioning optimally.

Poor dust extraction.

Verify that the dust extraction port on your sander is clear and that your vacuum system is functioning correctly and has sufficient power. Ensure the disc's open net structure is not obstructed by debris.

Disc wears out too quickly.

Check that you are using the appropriate grit for the material and task. Excessive force can also accelerate wear. Ensure the backing pad is in good condition.

Pros and Cons

Pros

Excellent stock removal capabilities for fast work.
Superior dust extraction reduces airborne dust and improves finish.
Anti-clogging feature extends abrasive life, especially on challenging materials.
Universal fitment simplifies use with various dust extraction systems.
Quick and secure abrasive changes via hook and loop system.
Durable construction ensures long-lasting performance.

Cons

80 grit is aggressive and may require finer grits for finishing.
May not be suitable for very soft or delicate materials without care.
Requires a compatible hook and loop backing pad for sander.
Effectiveness can be reduced if the material being sanded is excessively soft or gummy.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

Ensure your sander is switched off and unplugged.
Attach the Trend Mesh Sanding Disc to a compatible hook and loop backing pad on your orbital sander. The universal fitment means no alignment of dust holes is necessary; the open net structure allows for full airflow.
Press firmly to ensure a secure attachment.
Connect your dust extraction system to the sander if applicable.

Compatibility:

These 150mm discs are designed for use with standard 150mm hook and loop orbital sanders. They are suitable for a wide range of materials including wood, paint, plastic, filler, plaster, and metal.

Care:

Inspect discs for damage before each use.
Avoid excessive pressure, which can lead to premature wear or clogging.
If the disc becomes heavily loaded, gently tap it against a hard surface to dislodge debris. For persistent clogging on resinous materials, consider a less aggressive grit or a specific cleaning product designed for abrasives (use with caution).
Store discs flat in a dry environment to maintain their adhesive and abrasive properties.
Replace the disc when it shows significant wear or loss of cutting ability.
