Product Information
Full details
The BlueSpot Tools 240 Grit Emery Cloth is a versatile abrasive solution ideal for woodworkers, metal fabricators, and DIY enthusiasts who require a durable, long-lasting material for finishing tasks. Its high-quality aluminium oxide grain and waterproof polycotton backing deliver consistent performance for both manual and power-assisted sanding, though users should note that the 240 grit is primarily intended for surface smoothing and fine finishing rather than heavy material removal.

FAQs
Can this cloth be used with a power sander?
Yes, the polycotton backing is robust enough to be used with handheld power sanding tools, provided it is properly secured.
Is 240 grit too coarse for wood finishing?
240 grit is generally considered a fine finishing grit for wood, ideal for final smoothing or scuffing between paint layers.
Does the cloth work on rusted tools?
Yes, it is excellent for removing light surface rust from hand tools and metal components.
Can I use this on delicate plastics?
Use with caution. While suitable for plastics, 240 grit can leave visible scratch patterns on soft or high-gloss plastics if pressed too hard.
How long is the roll?
The roll measures 460cm (4.6 meters) in length.
Should I use oil or water for wet sanding?
Water is generally recommended, but the backing is compatible with most standard metalworking coolants and oils.
Troubleshooting
Abrasive surface is becoming clogged with dust
Tap the cloth firmly against a solid object to shake off dust or use a soft-bristled brush to clear the grains.
Cloth backing is tearing during use
Reduce the tension applied during sanding or check that the workpiece does not have exceptionally sharp, jagged burrs that could cut the fabric.
Pros and Cons
Pros
- Durable construction resists tearing
- Highly effective for sanding curved or cylindrical items
- Versatile wet and dry application
- Maintains sharpness longer due to anti-clogging properties
- Excellent for achieving a uniform satin finish on metals
Cons
- Not suitable for heavy stock removal
- Requires manual cutting to desired lengths
- Narrow width may be tedious for sanding large flat surfaces
Setup, Compatibility & Care
To use the roll, simply pull the desired length from the spool and cut with heavy-duty scissors or a utility knife. For cylindrical items, wrap the cloth around the workpiece with the abrasive side facing inward and use a firm, rhythmic pulling motion. When working with metal, apply light, consistent pressure to avoid overheating the material. After use, you can maintain the effectiveness of the abrasive by lightly tapping it against a firm surface to dislodge dust or by rinsing it under warm water if used for wet sanding. Store the roll in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to preserve the integrity of the adhesive bond on the backing.
