What size abrasive strips does this block accept?

This sanding block is designed to accept 100mm wide abrasive strips.

How do I change the abrasive paper?

The block features a quick-change system. Simply separate the interlocking grip and base, remove the old abrasive, position the new 100mm wide strip, and re-engage the grip.

What does 'Pinned Fixings' mean?

'Pinned Fixings' refers to the mechanism used to securely hold the abrasive paper to the block, typically involving pins or a similar locking system integrated into the block's design.

The product description does not specify suitability for wet sanding. It is recommended to use dry abrasives unless the abrasive manufacturer explicitly states it is suitable for wet use with this type of block.

What are the overall dimensions of the block?

The dimensions of the Loops Contoured Sanding Block are 70mm x 130mm.

Troubleshooting

Abrasive strip not holding securely

Ensure the abrasive strip is correctly aligned with the pinned fixings and that the interlocking grip is fully engaged. Check for any debris obstructing the mechanism.

Difficulty separating grip and base

Ensure there is no excessive dust or debris trapped between the interlocking parts. Gently wiggle the components while attempting to separate them.

Hand fatigue persists

While designed for comfort, ensure you are using proper sanding technique and taking breaks as needed. The block's design aims to reduce fatigue, not eliminate the need for breaks.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Reduces hand fatigue due to its ergonomic design.
  • Quick and easy abrasive changes save time.
  • Compatible with standard 100mm wide abrasive strips.
  • Suitable for both detailed and general sanding applications.
  • Durable construction for long-term use.

Cons

  • Pinned fixing system may be less familiar than other methods.
  • Requires specific 100mm wide abrasive strips.
  • Heavier than very basic foam blocks (0.25kg).

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: To load abrasive strips, ensure the block's interlocking grip and base are separated. Place the 100mm wide abrasive strip across the base, ensuring it is centered. Re-engage the grip mechanism, which will secure the abrasive via the pinned fixings.

Compatibility: This block is designed specifically for 100mm wide abrasive strips. Ensure your chosen abrasive paper or cloth has a width of 100mm for optimal fit and function. It is compatible with various abrasive materials suitable for pinned fixing systems.

Care: To maintain the sanding block, periodically clean any dust or debris from the grip and base surfaces using a dry or slightly damp cloth. Avoid using solvents or harsh chemicals, as they can degrade the material. Inspect the pinned fixing system regularly for wear or damage.
