Product Information
Full details
The Makita P-36479 sanding sheets are ideal for woodworking hobbyists and professional tradespeople looking for reliable performance in surface preparation. Featuring a 120-grit aluminium oxide abrasive, these sheets provide a versatile medium-grade finish suitable for wood, steel, and painted surfaces; however, they require a compatible palm sander with a 114mm x 140mm base and are not designed for heavy-duty stock removal compared to coarser grits.

FAQs
Are these sheets compatible with non-Makita sanders?
Yes, they are compatible with most standard 114mm x 140mm palm sanders from brands including Bosch, DeWalt, Black & Decker, Ryobi, and Skil.
Can I use these on metal surfaces?
Yes, the aluminium oxide abrasive is suitable for sanding regular steel, though expect the abrasive to wear faster than it would on wood.
What is the grit measurement for this product?
These sheets are 120 grit, which is considered a medium-grade abrasive ideal for surface smoothing.
Does this pack include a backing pad?
No, this is a pack of 50 sanding sheets only; it does not include the sander or the base backing pad.
How should I store these to ensure they last?
Keep them in a flat, dry, and cool area to prevent the paper from warping or the adhesive from degrading due to humidity.
Troubleshooting
Sheet keeps tearing during use
Ensure the sheet is properly tensioned on the base and check that there is no debris buildup on the pad itself that could create pressure points.
Sheet is losing its abrasive quality quickly
Check if you are applying too much pressure; let the machine weight do the work and verify that you are not using the 120 grit on material that is too rough.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To install, ensure your palm sander is disconnected from its power source. Align the sanding sheet with the base of the sander, ensuring the dust extraction holes are properly indexed if your specific model uses them. Secure the sheet using the sander's built-in tensioning or hook-and-loop system. To prolong sheet life, clean the dust from the abrasive face periodically using a dedicated sanding belt cleaner or a stiff brush. Store unused sheets in a cool, dry place to prevent the paper backing from absorbing moisture, which can weaken the bond between the backing and the abrasive grit.
