FAQs
What does 60G grit mean?
60G refers to the coarseness of the abrasive grit. A lower grit number, like 60, indicates a coarser grit suitable for aggressive material removal, such as stripping paint or shaping wood. Higher grit numbers are used for finer finishing.
Can these sheets be used for fine finishing?
No, the 60G grit is generally too coarse for fine finishing. For smooth finishes, you would typically use grits in the 120G and above range.
What kind of sanders are these compatible with?
These sheets are designed for power sanding machines that utilize a hook and loop (Velcro-style) attachment system and have dust extraction capabilities.
How many sheets are in a pack?
Each pack contains ten sanding sheets.
What are the dimensions of each sheet?
Each sanding sheet measures 100 x 110mm.
Can I cut these sheets to a different size?
While technically possible, cutting the sheets may compromise the integrity of the hook and loop backing and the dust extraction holes, potentially affecting performance and attachment.
What material are the abrasive grains made of?
The abrasive grains are made of aluminium oxide, known for its durability and effectiveness in sanding.
Troubleshooting
Sanding sheet not sticking to the sander.
Ensure both the sander pad and the sheet's hook and loop backing are clean and free from dust and debris. Check that the backing material on the sheet is not excessively worn.
Poor dust extraction.
Verify that the pre-punched holes on the sanding sheet are aligned with the dust extraction ports on your sander's pad. Check the sander's dust bag or collection system for blockages.
Rapid wear of the abrasive.
Ensure you are using the correct grit for the material and task. Excessive pressure or sanding very hard materials can accelerate wear. Replace the sheet when the abrasive is visibly worn down.
Uneven sanding results.
Check for consistent pressure application. Ensure the sanding sheet is securely attached and not slipping. Clean the sander pad if debris is accumulating.

- Convenient pack size for ongoing use.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: To use, simply align the hook and loop backing of the sanding sheet with the corresponding pad on your power sanding machine. Press firmly to ensure secure adhesion. Ensure the pre-punched holes on the sheet align with any dust extraction ports on your sander's pad for optimal performance.
Compatibility: These sheets are designed for use with power sanding machines that feature a hook and loop backing system and are compatible with dust extraction. The 100 x 110mm size is a common dimension, but always check your specific sander's pad size.
Care: Sanding sheets are consumables and are not designed for long-term care. Once the abrasive material is worn down or the backing shows signs of damage, the sheet should be replaced. Avoid using water or solvents on the sheets, as this can degrade the abrasive and backing. Store sheets in a dry place to maintain their adhesive properties.
