Sanding Discs Set | Metal & Woodworking | 75-180mm Multi-Size

This set of sanding discs fits orbital sanders and rotary tools. They attach with a hook-and-loop system. The pack includes several sizes up to 180mm and a wide grit range. These discs are for sanding wood and metal. They offer a flexible solution for your workshop. Features and Benefits - Hook-and-Loop Backing - You can change sanding discs quickly. This gets you back to work faster. - Broad Grit Assortment - Grits range from 40 for fast removal to 2000 for polishing. 180 grit prepares surfaces for finishing. - Wet or Dry Operation - Use them dry on wood. Use them with water for wet sanding metal. This prevents clogging and gives a finer polish. - Aluminum Oxide Grain - It cuts cleanly and wears evenly. This creates a uniform scratch pattern on your workpiece. Applications - Woodworking Projects - Sand tabletops, cabinets, and other furniture. Go from rough lumber to a smooth surface ready for paint. - Metal Polishing - Refine metal parts. Start with a medium grit and work up to a wet-sanded, shiny finish. - Automotive Detailing - These are good for feathering body filler. They also carefully sand clear coats for paint correction. Step 1: Mount the Sanding Disc to the Mandrel Option A: Standard Screw Mandrel (402) To mount your fibre sanding disc, first place a washer onto the screw of the 402 mandrel. Then, carefully thread your chosen sanding disc onto the screw. Follow this with another washer and finally, the small nut. Tighten the nut firmly using a spanner, ensuring the disc is securely held in place. This method is suitable for the 75mm to 180mm discs in this set. A properly secured disc will prevent slippage and ensure consistent sanding, extending the disc's lifespan. Option B: EZ Lock Mandrel (EZ402) The EZ Lock system offers a quicker method for changing sanding discs. Simply pull back the spring-loaded collar on the EZ402 mandrel. Align the centre hole of your fibre sanding disc with the pin on the mandrel and push it on. Release the collar to lock the disc in place. This quick-change system is particularly useful when frequently switching between different grit ranges, such as moving from a 40 grit for aggressive material removal to a 2000 grit for fine finishing. Step 2: Insert the Mandrel into Your Dremel Once your sanding disc is securely mounted on the appropriate mandrel, insert the mandrel's shank into the collet of your Dremel tool. Tighten the collet nut firmly with the Dremel's collet wrench until the mandrel is held without any play. Ensure the tool is unplugged before inserting or removing accessories. This set of fibre sanding discs is compatible with Dremel Accessories, making this a straightforward process. Check your Dremel's maximum 000 rpm rating and adjust your tool speed accordingly for optimal results and disc longevity. Step 3: Best Practices for Sanding When sanding metal or wood with these fibre discs, always wear appropriate safety gear. Start with a lower grit, such as 40 grit, for heavy material removal and progress to higher grits, like 2000 grit, for a smoother finish, avoiding swirl marks. Apply light, even pressure and keep the Dremel moving to prevent overheating the workpiece or the disc, which can reduce how long a sanding disc lasts. For optimal dust extraction, consider working in a well-ventilated area. While these are fibre discs, some sanding systems utilise a hook and loop backing pad for quick changes. This set features traditional fibre discs.
