Sander Discs | 125mm 8-Hole Hook & Loop | 60-10000 Grit Assortment

This pack of 5-inch (125mm) sanding discs fits your random orbital sander or bench sander. The aluminum oxide abrasive cuts well. The hook and loop backing makes changes fast. The 8-hole pattern pulls dust away, keeping your work surface clean. Features and Benefits - Wide Grit Range (60-10,000) - Use these for coarse stripping on old furniture or for ultra-fine polishing on new projects. - Hook and Loop Backing - You can peel off old discs and press on new ones in seconds. No messy adhesives are needed. - 8-Hole Dust Extraction - This aligns with most 5-inch sanders. It pulls dust away, giving you a clearer view and making discs last longer. - Aluminum Oxide Abrasive - This grain cuts consistently on wood, metal, and painted surfaces. Applications - Woodworking - Use lower grits (like 80-220) for initial sanding on raw wood. Use higher grits for a smooth surface between finish coats. - Automotive Finishing - These are good for feathering body filler, scuffing primer, and removing flaws before painting or polishing. - Paint and Rust Removal - These 5-inch sanding discs quickly strip old coatings from metal or wood. They do not tear easily. Ray L. Carter (Stationary/Industrial Disc Sander) The stationary disc sander, often found in workshops, is a powerful tool for shaping and smoothing wood or metal. It typically features a large, rotating disc, similar to the 125mm diameter of these hook and loop sanding discs. Early versions were often belt-driven from overhead line shafts, operating at speeds around 1725 rpm. These sanders are excellent for removing significant material quickly, especially with lower grit discs like 60 grit from this assortment. The 8-hole pattern on these discs ensures effective dust extraction on compatible machines, keeping the workpiece and workshop cleaner. Alex A. Clarke (Portable Specialty Sanders) Alex A. Clarke is credited with inventing the disc sander in 1916, revolutionising surface preparation. While his initial design was likely larger, the principle of a rotating abrasive disc remains. These 125mm 8-hole hook and loop discs are designed for both bench sanders and orbital sanders, which are types of disc sanders. They are used for a wide range of tasks, from aggressive material removal with 60 grit to fine finishing with higher grits up to 10000. Their versatility makes them essential for woodworking, metalworking, and automotive applications, providing a smooth finish on various materials. Arthur N. Emmons (Modern Portable Handheld Disc Sander) Modern portable handheld disc sanders, sometimes called orbital sanders, are compact versions of Clarke's original invention. They provide greater flexibility for working on larger or more awkwardly shaped pieces. These 125mm diameter, 8-hole hook and loop discs are perfectly suited for such tools, allowing quick changes between grits from 60 to 10000. This wide grit range means they can handle everything from rough shaping to achieving a polished surface. The hook and loop attachment ensures secure fastening and easy replacement, making them highly efficient for tradespeople.
