Abranet® Sanding Discs

These discs, with aluminum oxide bonded to a tough polyamide mesh, allow sanding dust to be drawn through the entire disc mesh, not just through the numerous holes. This maximizes dust recovery as it resists loading, increasing abrasive efficiency and reducing disc wear in the process. Usable on any 5" or 6" orbital sander with integral dust collection, they are best used with a platen protector, which prevents damage to the platen’s hook facing and further improves airflow to the collection holes. An optional 3/8” thick foam interface pad for contoured surfaces (which can also be used with a platen protector) is available as well.

For maximum collection efficiency, a 30-hole retrofit platen compatible with 5" Black & Decker, DeWalt and Porter-Cable models is also an option. This versatile system also shines in fine-grit, between-coat finish sanding, where stray grit particles can otherwise be a problem.
