FAQs
What size sanding strips does this block use?
The Power-TEC Sanding Block is designed for standard 70 x 198mm hook & loop sanding strips.
Do I need a special vacuum for dust extraction?
You need a dust extraction system (like a shop vacuum) that can connect to the block's dust outlet, which accommodates 20mm or 28mm hoses. Adapters may be necessary.
How many backing pads are included?
The set includes 4 interchangeable hook & loop backing pads with different profiles (flat, concave, and convex).
Is this block suitable for wet sanding?
This product is designed for dry sanding with dust extraction. It is not intended for wet sanding applications.
Can I use this block without a dust extraction system?
Yes, you can use it without a dust extraction system, but it will not collect dust, and the key benefit of dust-free sanding will be lost.
How do I clean the magnetic backing pad?
Wipe the magnetic backing pad with a clean, dry cloth after each use to remove dust and debris, ensuring optimal adhesion for sanding strips.
Troubleshooting
Sanding strip not adhering securely.
Ensure the magnetic backing pad is clean and free from dust or debris. Replace worn-out sanding strips.
Poor dust extraction.
Verify the dust extraction hose is securely connected to the block and the vacuum system. Check for any blockages in the hose or the dust outlet. Ensure your dust extraction system is functioning correctly.
Block feels uncomfortable during use.
Ensure you are using the ergonomic hand profile correctly. For very long sanding sessions, consider taking breaks.
Dust escaping from the sides of the sanding strip.
Ensure the sanding strip is centered and fully attached to the backing pad. Some minor dust leakage is normal if the surface being sanded is uneven.
