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 improved abrasive longevity by preventing dust buildup.

What does 'anti-clog technology' mean for my work?

It means the disc has a special coating (stearate release agent) that reduces heat buildup and prevents dust and debris from sticking to the abrasive surface. This is particularly useful when sanding resinous woods, fillers, and paints.

Is this disc suitable for fine finishing?

This 120-grit disc is considered a medium grit, suitable for stock removal and preparation. For fine finishing, you would need to progress to higher grits (e.g., 180, 240, 320, 400G) available in the Trend Mesh Sanding Disc range.

Do I need a special sander for these discs?

You need a random orbital sander with a 150mm hook and loop backing pad. The universal fitment means you don't need to align holes, but the hook and loop system is essential for attachment.

How durable is the mesh backing?

The ultra-flexible mesh backing is designed to be robust, heat, and tear-resistant, offering excellent durability and grit retention compared to some traditional abrasive materials.

Can I use these on metal?

Yes, the discs are suitable for certain metal applications such as light deburring and surface preparation before painting.

How do I switch between grits easily?

The hook and loop attachment system allows for very quick and secure changes. Simply peel off the used disc and press a new one onto the backing pad.

Troubleshooting

Disc not adhering to backing pad

Ensure both the disc and the backing pad are clean and free from dust and debris. Check that the hook and loop system on both is in good condition.

Rapid clogging or reduced performance

This can occur with very soft or gummy materials. Ensure your dust extraction is functioning optimally. Try cleaning the disc surface by brushing. If clogging persists, consider a coarser grit or a different abrasive type suited for the specific material.

Disc tearing or wearing too quickly

Reduce the pressure applied during sanding. Ensure the backing pad is not damaged or worn. Check for any sharp edges on the workpiece that might be causing excessive wear.

Pros and Cons

Pros

Exceptional dust extraction for a cleaner finish and environment.
Resists clogging and heat build-up, extending abrasive life.
Fast stock removal with a consistent, professional surface finish.
Universal fitment simplifies setup and compatibility with various sanders.
Easy and quick abrasive changes due to the hook and loop system.

Cons

Requires a compatible hook and loop backing pad for use.
120 grit is a medium grit; finer grits are needed for final finishing.
Mesh structure might be less durable than traditional paper backings on extremely aggressive applications.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

Ensure your random orbital sander has a compatible 150mm hook and loop backing pad.
Align the mesh sanding disc with the backing pad.
Firmly press the disc onto the pad; the hook and loop system will ensure a secure attachment.
Connect your sander to a dust extraction system for optimal performance and a cleaner environment.

Compatibility:

Designed for use with 150mm random orbital sanders equipped with a hook and loop backing pad.
Compatible with a wide range of materials including wood, paint, plastic, filler, plaster, and metal.

Care:

While designed to resist clogging, periodically inspect the disc for excessive dust or debris buildup. Gently brush off any loose material.
Store discs flat in a dry place to maintain their adhesive and abrasive properties.
Avoid excessive pressure, which can lead to premature wear or damage to the mesh backing.
