FAQs

What materials can I use the sanding points on?

What is the grit range included in the set?

The set includes 80 and 150 grit cones.

What is the shaft diameter of the arbor?

The shaft diameter is 3mm.

How do I choose the correct grit for my project?

Use the coarser 80 grit for initial shaping and material removal, and the finer 150 grit for smoothing and finishing.

How do I maintain the sanding points?

Can these sanding points be used for polishing?

The included grits are suitable for sanding and smoothing; for polishing, you may need additional polishing compounds or wheels.

Where can I purchase replacement sanding cones?

Replacement cones are available from Proxxon or authorized retailers.

What should I do if the sanding points aren't working as expected?

Check the tool speed, the material compatibility, and the condition of the cones. Make sure you are applying appropriate pressure.

Troubleshooting

Sanding performance is poor.

Check if the grit is appropriate for the material and task. Replace worn sanding cones. Increase the rotational speed (if appropriate for the material).

Sanding point is not fitting properly.

Ensure you are using the correct arbor size (3mm shaft diameter) and that it is securely attached to your rotary tool.

Premature wear of sanding cones.

Avoid applying excessive pressure. Ensure the correct rotational speed for the material is used. Use appropriate grit for the task.
