Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What sander are these 5-inch sanding discs compatible with?
A: These 5-inch (125mm) round sanding discs are compatible with most standard 5-inch random orbital and orbital sanders that feature a hook-and-loop pad. Always confirm your sander's pad diameter and hole pattern before purchasing.
Q: What are these aluminium oxide sanding discs made from?
A: Each disc is made from aluminium oxide, a tough and durable abrasive mineral known for its sharp, fast-cutting properties and consistent performance across wood, metal, plastic, and painted surfaces.
Q: Which grit should I choose for my project?
A: Lower grits (60–80) are best for heavy material removal and rough shaping. Medium grits (120–180) suit general sanding and smoothing. Fine grits (240–400) are ideal for pre-finish preparation, while ultra-fine grits (600–1000) deliver a polished, smooth final surface.
Q: How does the 8-hole pattern help during sanding?
A: The 8-hole dust extraction pattern aligns with the ports on your sander's pad, allowing dust and debris to be drawn away through the sander's dust collection system. This keeps your work surface cleaner, improves visibility, and helps the disc last longer by preventing clogging.
