Q: What sanders will these discs fit?
They fit any 5-inch orbital sander with dust collection, attaching with a standard hook-and-loop back for quick changes between grits.

These discs, with aluminum oxide bonded to a tough polyamide mesh, allow sanding dust to be drawn through the entire disc. This maximizes dust recovery as it resists loading, increasing abrasive efficiency and reducing disc wear.
Usable on any 5" orbital sander with integral dust collection, they are best used with a platen protector (sold separately), 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 is also available for contoured surfaces (can also be used with a platen protector).
For greater collection efficiency, we offer a 30-hole retrofit platen separately that is compatible with sanders that have a three-bolt pattern for installation.
This versatile system also shines in fine-grit, between-coat finish sanding, where stray grit particles can otherwise be a problem. Available in eight regular grits (80x, 100x, 120x, 150x, 180x, 220x, 240x, 320x). Priced per disc.
Made in Finland.
A sample pack of 10 discs (two each of 80x, 120x, 180x, 220x, 320x) is available separately.
A fine range of five grits from 400x to 1000x is also available.

Yes, the open mesh keeps dust from building up under the abrasive even at fine grits, which is where clogging typically causes problems on solid-backed discs.
These hook and loop discs use an open polyamide mesh instead of a solid paper backing, so dust passes straight through the disc rather than clogging the grit.
They come in eight regular grits, from 80x for stock removal up to 320x for fine surface prep, plus a finer 400x-to-1000x range available separately for polishing work.
Yes, though a flat pad works best on flat stock; for contoured work, pairing the disc with a flexible interface pad gives better conformity to the curve.
