FAQs

What type of sander can I use with these discs?

These discs are designed for use with the DeWALT DCE800, as well as Festool and Flex sanders that use 225mm discs with hook and loop attachment.

What grit is best for my project?

The 80 grit is suitable for general sanding tasks, such as removing old finishes, preparing walls for paint, or smoothing wood surfaces. For finer finishing, consider using a higher grit.

How do I attach the disc to the sander?

Align the disc with the sander's backing pad, and ensure that the hook and loop system engages correctly.

How should I clean the sanding discs?

Use a brush or compressed air to remove dust and debris from the disc surface.

Can I use these discs on metal?

While these discs are effective on wood and drywall, ensure that the disc and sander are suitable for metal working.

How many discs are included in the package?

The package contains 5 sanding discs.

What is the benefit of the mesh design?

The mesh design allows for superior dust extraction, leading to a cleaner work environment and improved sanding performance, as well as extending the life of the disc.

Troubleshooting

Sanding disc is not sticking to the sander.

Check if the hook and loop system on both the disc and sander are clean and undamaged. Replace the disc if necessary.

Sanding performance is poor.

Ensure that the disc grit is appropriate for the material being sanded. Check if the sander speed is correctly adjusted.

Excessive dust during sanding.

Verify that the dust extraction system is functioning correctly and that the sander is connected properly. Consider the use of personal protective equipment.

Premature wear of the sanding disc.

Reduce the sanding pressure and check the material for any hard spots that might be causing wear.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Ensure that the sanding disc is correctly aligned on the sander's backing pad and that the hook & loop system is properly engaged before use.
