FAQs

What grit is the Makita B-68410 sanding disc?

The Makita B-68410 sanding disc has a grit of 180, which is suitable for achieving a smooth finish.

How many discs are in a pack?

Each pack contains 25 abrasive discs.

What sander is this disc compatible with?

These discs are designed exclusively for the Makita DSL800ZU Brushless Drywall Sander.

What is the diameter of the discs?

The diameter of these sanding discs is 225mm.

Can I use these discs for heavy material removal?

The 180-grit is generally considered a finishing grit. For heavy material removal, a coarser grit disc would be more appropriate.

How does the dust extraction work?

The discs have 9 holes (8 around the perimeter and 1 in the center) that align with the dust extraction ports on the Makita DSL800ZU sander, allowing dust to be vacuumed away during sanding.

Troubleshooting

Disc not adhering to sander pad

Ensure the hook-and-loop backing pad on the sander is clean and free from dust or debris. Make sure the disc is correctly aligned and pressed firmly.

Poor dust extraction

Check that the disc's holes are aligned with the sander's dust ports. Ensure your connected vacuum system is functioning correctly and the hose is not clogged.

Sanding is uneven or scratching the surface

The disc may be worn out and requires replacement. Ensure the sander is moving at a consistent speed and pressure. Check that the backing pad on the sander is not damaged.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Effective dust collection system with 9-hole design.
  • Provides a smooth, consistent finish ideal for drywall.
  • Specifically designed for Makita DSL800ZU for optimal fit and performance.
  • Comes in a pack of 25 for convenience.

Cons

  • Only compatible with the Makita DSL800ZU drywall sander.
  • 180 grit may be too fine for initial heavy material removal.
  • May wear out faster on very aggressive applications compared to coarser grits.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

  1. Ensure your Makita DSL800ZU drywall sander is switched off and unplugged.
  2. Align the 9 holes on the abrasive disc with the corresponding dust extraction holes on the sander's backing pad.
  3. Firmly press the disc onto the hook-and-loop backing pad, ensuring it is centered and adheres securely.
  4. Connect your dust extraction system to the sander.

Compatibility:

  • These discs are specifically designed for the Makita DSL800ZU Brushless Drywall Sander.
  • They are not compatible with other brands or models of drywall sanders.

Care:

  • After each use, gently brush off any accumulated dust from the disc's surface. Avoid using water or solvents, as this can degrade the abrasive material and adhesive.
  • Store the discs in a dry place away from extreme temperatures to maintain their integrity.
  • Replace the disc when the abrasive surface becomes visibly worn or clogged, or when it no longer effectively removes material.
