FAQs

What is the primary benefit of the open net structure?

The open net structure allows for exceptional dust extraction across the entire surface of the disc, leading to a cleaner work environment, better visibility, and a finer finish by preventing dust build-up under the abrasive.

Can I use this disc on metal?

Yes, these discs are suitable for use on some metals, particularly for light shaping, keying, or deburring tasks. For heavy-duty metal grinding, specialized metal abrasives are recommended.

How does the anti-clog technology work?

The anti-clog technology uses a stearate release agent on the abrasive grains. This agent reduces heat build-up and prevents dust and debris from accumulating on the disc's surface, maintaining its cutting efficiency, especially when working with sticky or resinous materials.

What does '120G' mean?

'120G' refers to the grit size. A 120-grit abrasive is considered a medium grit, suitable for general-purpose sanding, removing moderate imperfections, and preparing surfaces for finer sanding or finishing.

How many discs are included in a pack?

This product is a 5-pack, meaning it contains five Trend Mesh Sanding Discs.

Is this disc suitable for very fine finishing?

The 120-grit disc is a medium grit, not intended for final finishing. For very fine finishes, you would typically move to grits like 180, 240, or higher after using this disc.

What materials is this disc best suited for?

It is particularly suited for resinous timbers, fillers, paints, heat-sensitive materials, plaster, and general wood and plastic sanding.

Troubleshooting

Disc not adhering to the sander.

Ensure your sander has a clean and intact hook and loop backing pad. Make sure the disc is aligned and pressed firmly onto the pad.

Excessive dust in the work area.

Verify that your dust extraction system is properly connected and functioning. Check if the disc's mesh is clogged with debris; if so, clean or replace the disc.

Poor stock removal or slow sanding.

Check if the disc is worn out or clogged. Ensure you are using the correct grit for the material and task. Increase pressure slightly if safe to do so, or switch to a coarser grit if necessary for initial material removal.

Disc appears to be overheating.

Reduce sanding pressure and duration. Ensure the anti-clogging properties are not compromised by excessive heat build-up, especially on heat-sensitive materials. Clean the disc if clogging is suspected.

Pros and Cons

Pros

Delivers rapid and efficient material removal.
Achieves a smooth, professional surface finish.
Excellent dust extraction reduces airborne dust for a cleaner job.
Resistant to clogging, especially on challenging materials.
Easy and fast abrasive changes with the hook and loop system.
Universal fitment saves time during setup.

Cons

May be less effective on very hard, non-resinous materials compared to specialized discs.
Requires a compatible hook and loop backing pad on the sander.
120 grit is a medium grit, not suitable for initial heavy stock removal or fine finishing stages.
Can still clog if excessive heat is generated due to prolonged, high-pressure sanding.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: Ensure your orbital sander is equipped with a compatible hook and loop backing pad. Align the mesh disc with the pad and press firmly to ensure secure attachment. Connect your dust extraction system to the sander.

Compatibility: These 225mm discs are designed for use with standard 225mm orbital sanders that feature a hook and loop system. They are suitable for a wide range of materials including wood, fillers, paints, plaster, and some plastics and metals.

Care: After use, gently brush off any loose debris from the disc. Store discs in a dry place away from moisture. Avoid excessive heat and pressure during use to prolong the disc's life and maintain its anti-clogging properties. If the disc becomes heavily laden with material or shows significant wear, replace it with a new one.
