Sander 5in Discs | 30pc Hook & Loop | 60-320 Assorted Grit Pack

This pack has 30 pieces of 5-inch sanding discs. They have a hook and loop style. They fit standard random orbital sanders. The kit includes four common grits. It also has an 8-hole pattern. This helps with dust extraction, keeping the abrasive surface clear and working well. Features and Benefits - Hook and Loop System - The backing lets you change discs in a few seconds. This makes it easy to switch grits as you work. - Aluminum Oxide Abrasive - This material cuts consistently. It holds up well for sanding wood, metal, and composites. - Anti-Clogging Coating - An open-coat design with a stearate layer reduces loading. So, the discs last longer before you need to replace them. - 8-Hole Dust Extraction - The pattern lines up with most 5-inch random orbital sander pads. It pulls dust away for a cleaner workspace. Applications - Use the 60 and 80 grit discs for fast material removal. They also strip paint or level rough lumber. - Use the 220 grit sandpaper to smooth surfaces. It removes scratches left by coarser grits. - Use the 320 grit discs for fine sanding before you apply a finish. Or, scuff between coats of varnish. Ray L. Carter (Stationary/Industrial Disc Sander) The disc sander is a versatile tool for material removal and finishing, commonly used in workshops. While portable variations exist, the industrial disc sander, often stationary, is credited to Ray L. Carter. His 1908 patent for a "sanding machine" laid the groundwork for today's units. These machines typically feature a large rotating disc, operating at speeds like 1725 rpm or 3450 rpm, for shaping and smoothing wood or metal. Our 5in discs, with their 127mm diameter, are suitable for such applications. Alex A. Clarke (Portable Specialty Sanders) Alex A. Clarke's 1944 patent for a "portable disc sander" marked a significant development, bringing the utility of disc sanding to a more mobile format. These specialty sanders, often smaller and more manoeuvrable than their industrial counterparts, are used for tasks requiring precision or access to confined spaces. Our 30pc hook and loop discs, with grit options of 60, 80, 220, and 320, are compatible with random orbital and bench sanders, making them suitable for a range of portable sanding applications. Arthur N. Emmons (Modern Portable Handheld Disc Sander) The evolution of the disc sander continued with inventors like Arthur N. Emmons, whose 1954 patent for a "portable electric sander" contributed to the modern handheld disc sander. These tools are invaluable for tasks such as preparing surfaces for painting, removing rust, or fine-finishing. The hook and loop attachment of our 5in discs (127mm diameter) ensures quick changes between grits, from aggressive 60 grit for rapid material removal to 320 grit for a smooth finish, enhancing efficiency on various projects.
