Sanding discs attach to random orbital sanders and angle grinders. Hook‑and‑loop and PSA (pressure‑sensitive adhesive) backings allow quick swaps. Choose the right grit for material removal or finishing.
What are sanding discs used for?
Sanding discs attach to orbital, random-orbit, or angle sanders and are used for smoothing surfaces, removing old finishes, shaping materials, and preparing wood, metal, or plastic for painting or coating.
How do I choose the right sanding disc for my project?
Pick the grit based on the job: coarse grits (40–80) for stripping and heavy removal, medium grits (100–180) for general smoothing, and fine grits (220+) for finishing. Also check backing type — hook-and-loop for easy changes, or adhesive for secure mounting.
Why do my sanding discs clog or wear out quickly?
Clogging often happens when sanding softwood, paint, or resinous surfaces. To prevent this, use discs with open-coat abrasives or anti-clog coatings, and avoid pressing too hard. Let the sander’s motion remove the material instead of applying excess force.
