Good to know
Questions about this product
- What's the benefit of using these for wet sanding?
- Wet sanding helps to reduce airborne dust and stops the paper from clogging with material, especially when working on paint or fillers. It often gives a finer, more consistent finish, which is great for car bodywork or polishing.
- What are these discs made from that lets them be used with water?
- These discs use a sharp silicon carbide abrasive on a waterproof latex paper base. The materials and glue are designed to hold together when wet, so the disc won't fall apart during use.
- How do I know which size disc to get for my sander?
- You need to order the size that matches your sander's backing pad. We stock these discs in 75mm (3-inch), 125mm (5-inch), and 150mm (6-inch) diameters, so just measure your pad before you buy.

These 6-inch wet/dry sanding discs are for jobs that need a very smooth, polished finish. Unlike a sanding drum, which is for shaping, these discs are for fine surface work. The waterproof backing lets you use them wet. This reduces dust and keeps them from clogging. Features and Benefits - Silicon carbide abrasive - It cuts quickly and leaves a very fine scratch pattern. This is good for polishing and finishing. - Flexible film backing - It bends to curves and contours without tearing. It is also completely waterproof. - Hook and loop attachment - It's easy to attach the disc to your orbital sander's backing pad. - Wide grit selection - Available in high grits up to 3000. Use these for color sanding, polishing, and removing fine scratches. Applications - Automotive repair for wet sanding clear coats. This removes orange peel and creates a glass-like finish. - Polishing metals like aluminum or stainless steel to a high-gloss or mirror shine. - Finishing resin and epoxy projects, such as river tables or countertops, for a perfectly clear surface. Big-Box Home Improvement Stores For those looking to rent a drum sander to use with your new Silicon Carbide Drum Abrasive Discs, larger home improvement chains often stock 8 inch or 12 inch drum sanders suitable for flooring projects. You will need to purchase your abrasive rolls separately, ensuring they match the drum size. These stores are convenient for picking up sanding drums for woodworking or metal polishing tasks, especially if you need a range of grits from 36 grit for heavy removal to 120 grit for a finer finish. Commercial & Equipment Rental Chains Commercial rental chains are a good option for renting heavy-duty drum sanders, which are ideal for large-scale applications with your 75mm or 125mm diameter Drum Abrasive Discs. They typically offer a wider selection of drum sander models, including those designed for extensive dry and wet sanding of metal or wood. When you rent a drum sander, ensure you specify the drum size to match your abrasive discs, and consider asking for advice on grit selection, from aggressive 40 grit to smoother 80 grit. Local Independent Rental Yards & Hardware Stores Local independent rental yards and hardware stores are excellent places to find drum sanders, often providing more personalised advice on how to use a drum sander effectively with your Silicon Carbide discs. They can guide you on selecting the right grit, from 50 grit for initial preparation to 100 grit for intermediate sanding, for your specific woodworking or metal polishing project. Inquire about the drum sizes available to ensure compatibility with your 3, 5, or 6 inch Drum Abrasive Discs for wet and dry use. 💡 Pro-Tips Before You Rent Before you rent a drum sander for your Drum Abrasive Discs, confirm the drum sander's compatibility with your chosen disc diameter (75mm or 125mm). When learning how to use a drum sander, always start with a coarser grit like 36 grit or 40 grit for significant material removal on wood or metal, then progress to finer grits such as 80 grit or 120 grit. For wet sanding applications, ensure the drum sander you rent is explicitly designed for wet use to prevent damage and ensure safety.
