These sheets have aluminum oxide grit bonded to a tough polyamide mesh, allowing sanding dust to be drawn through the entire sheet. This maximizes dust recovery as it resists loading, increasing abrasive efficiency and reducing sheet wear.
Available in eight grits, priced per 3" × 4" sheet.
Usable on a 3" × 4" orbital sander or hand-sanding pad with a hook facing, 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 platen’s dust-collection holes. An optional 0.28" thick foam interface pad is also available for contoured surfaces (can also be used with a platen protector).
Made in Finland.
A sample package is offered separately.
