This Flexovit sanding roll is designed for professionals and DIY enthusiasts needing a durable and effective abrasive for general-purpose sanding and stock removal. Its key benefit is the high-performance aluminum oxide grain combined with a heavy paper backing, ensuring longevity and consistent results across various materials like wood, paint, plaster, and metal. A minor caveat is its specific 80-grit coarseness, which is ideal for aggressive material removal but may require a finer grit for finishing.

80-grit sandpaper is considered coarse and is best suited for aggressive material removal, such as stripping old paint, removing heavy rust, shaping wood, or flattening uneven surfaces.
While primarily designed for wood, paint, plaster, and metal, 80-grit might be too aggressive for most plastics and could cause scratching or damage. Test on an inconspicuous area first if attempting to sand plastic.
Store the roll in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight and moisture. Keep it in its original packaging or a protective sleeve to prevent dust accumulation and damage to the edges.
No, 80-grit is a coarse grit and is not suitable for fine finishing. You would need to follow up with progressively finer grits (e.g., 120, 180, 220 grit and higher) for a smooth finish.
An open structure means there is more space between the abrasive grains. This helps to reduce clogging from dust and debris, allowing the sandpaper to cut more efficiently for longer, especially on softer materials.
This sanding roll features a heavy paper backing and is generally intended for dry sanding applications. Wet sanding may degrade the paper backing and adhesive.
Aluminum oxide is a durable and sharp synthetic abrasive, known for its ability to cut quickly and last longer compared to some natural abrasives. The grain in this product is specifically noted for being tough and sharp for durability.
Ensure the paper is securely attached to the sanding block or tool. Avoid applying excessive pressure on edges or corners. Check if the paper has become damp, which can weaken the backing.
Confirm you are using the correct grit for the material (80 grit is for aggressive removal). Check for clogging by brushing debris from the abrasive surface. Ensure your power tool is functioning correctly.
Use a sharp cutting tool (e.g., utility knife, sharp scissors) to cut the desired length from the roll. Ensure a stable surface for cutting.
Ensure the surface of the sanding block or power tool pad is clean and dry before applying the cut piece of sandpaper. Consider using temporary spray adhesive if needed for added security on power tools.
Setup:
This sanding roll is designed for flexibility. Simply cut the required length from the roll using sharp scissors or a utility knife. The material can then be attached to a standard sanding block, used directly by hand, or wrapped around power tools such as orbital or belt sanders (ensure the tool is compatible with roll-feed abrasives and cut to appropriate size).

Care:
To maximize the life of the sanding roll, avoid excessive clogging by cleaning the surface periodically. For light clogging, you can try brushing off debris. Store the roll in a dry environment away from moisture to maintain the integrity of the paper backing and adhesive. It is recommended to use the appropriate grit for the task; using 80-grit on delicate surfaces may cause unnecessary damage.
