FAQs

What is the primary advantage of the Quick Change system?

The primary advantage is the ability to swap sanding discs rapidly without the need for additional tools, significantly saving time during a project.

Can I use these discs on metal?

Yes, the 40 grit sanding discs are suitable for sanding and blending various metals.

What is the maximum speed I can run this set at?

The maximum recommended speed for both the backing pad and the discs is 30,000 RPM. Always ensure your tool does not exceed this speed.

What type of tools are compatible with this set?

This set is compatible with drill drivers, air die grinders, air drills, and power drills that can accept a 6.35mm (1/4 inch) steel arbor.

Are different grit sizes available for these discs?

This specific set includes 40 grit discs. For other grits, separate purchases of 50mm quick change sanding discs would be necessary.

How does the flexible backing pad help?

The flexible backing pad allows the disc to better conform to curved, contoured, or irregular surfaces, leading to more consistent sanding and a better finish in challenging areas.

What material are the sanding discs made from?

The sanding discs are made from aluminium oxide, known for its strength, durability, and effectiveness in abrasive applications.

Troubleshooting

Disc not adhering to the backing pad

Ensure both the backing pad and the disc are clean and free of dust or debris. Check that the hook-and-loop surfaces are in good condition.

Excessive vibration during use

Verify that the arbor is securely tightened in the tool's chuck. Ensure the sanding disc is centered correctly on the backing pad.

Rapid disc wear

Confirm you are not exceeding the maximum RPM limit. Ensure you are using the appropriate grit for the material and task. Clean dust buildup from the disc surface if possible.

Backing pad arbor feels loose

Tighten the chuck on your tool around the 6.35mm arbor. If the arbor itself is damaged or loose within the pad, the pad may need replacement.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

  2. Insert the 6.35mm steel arbor of the backing pad into the chuck of your tool.
  3. Tighten the chuck securely.
  4. Attach a 50mm quick change sanding disc to the hook-and-loop surface of the backing pad.

Care:

  • After use, remove the sanding disc and wipe down the backing pad with a dry or slightly damp cloth to remove dust and debris.
  • Store the backing pad and discs in a dry place to prevent rust and maintain adhesion.
  • Periodically inspect the hook-and-loop surface for wear or damage.
