Power-TEC Sanding Block with Dust Extraction - 150mm

The Power-TEC Sanding Block is designed for standard 150mm (6-inch) diameter hook & loop sanding discs.

You need a dust extraction system with a hose that can connect to the block's 20mm or 28mm Ø dust outlet. Standard workshop vacuums may work if they have compatible fittings and sufficient suction power.

Yes, you can use it without dust extraction, but it will not capture dust effectively. The primary benefit of this model is its integrated dust extraction capability.

The block is compatible with a wide range of hook & loop sanding pads, including grits from P40 (coarse) to P320 (fine). Power-TEC offers specific Connect sanding pads for this purpose.

After use, remove the sanding disc and wipe the block with a dry or slightly damp cloth. Ensure the dust outlet is clear of debris.

The rigid base provides a stable and flat surface for even pressure distribution, leading to more consistent sanding results and a uniform finish. The perforations aid in dust extraction.

Yes, the block is designed with right-angled sides, which helps in achieving clean, sharp edges and corners during sanding operations.

Ensure the dust extraction system is turned on and functioning. Check that the hose is securely connected to both the sanding block and the extraction unit. Verify that the hose diameter is compatible (20/28mm Ø) and that there are no blockages in the hose or the block's dust outlet.

Ensure the hook & loop base of the sanding block is clean and free from dust or debris. Inspect the hook & loop surfaces on both the disc and the block for wear; replace the disc if necessary.

Check for consistent pressure application across the entire surface. Ensure the sanding disc is not clogged or worn out. Verify that the base of the block is flat and not damaged.

Ensure you are holding the block using its ergonomic grip profile. Take short breaks during extended sanding sessions to prevent fatigue.
