Mesh Sanding Discs - DEWALT

The primary difference is the open mesh construction, which allows dust to be drawn through the entire disc surface for superior dust extraction and prevents clogging. This also leads to a longer lifespan and consistent performance.

You can clean them by brushing off loose debris with a stiff brush or using compressed air. For a more thorough cleaning, they can be washed with water and must be allowed to air dry completely before use.

They are compatible with any power sander or tool that uses a standard hook and loop backing pad system. You will need to match the disc diameter to your tool's backing pad size.

DEWALT states that these mesh sanding discs last at least four times longer than traditional DEWALT sandpaper discs.

Yes, the mesh design collects dust across the entire surface and doesn't rely on specific holes, making them effective even on tools without integrated dust collection ports, though dust extraction is optimized when used with a vacuum system.

Unlike traditional sandpaper which can become completely clogged and unusable, the mesh design allows dust to pass through. If performance degrades, cleaning the mesh is usually sufficient to restore its effectiveness.

Ensure both the disc's hook and loop backing and the tool's backing pad are clean and free from debris. Press firmly to secure the attachment.

Clean the mesh surface using a stiff brush or compressed air. If extensively clogged, wash with water and allow to dry completely.

Ensure you are using the correct grit for the material and application. Avoid excessive pressure, which can overload the disc. Check for any foreign objects caught in the mesh.
