Extended Product Information

FAQs

What grit is this specific disc?

This specific product variant (AB/125/150P) is a 150 grit disc.

What materials can I use this disc on?

This disc is suitable for wood, paint, plastic, filler, plaster, and metal. It is particularly effective on resinous timbers, paints, and heat-sensitive materials.

How does the anti-clog technology work?

The anti-clog technology uses a stearate release agent applied to the abrasive surface. This agent helps reduce heat build-up and minimizes the adhesion of dust and debris, preventing the disc from clogging quickly.

Do I need to align the holes for dust extraction?

No, the universal fitment design with its open net structure eliminates the need to align dust extraction holes. This simplifies setup and ensures continuous airflow for efficient dust removal.

How does the open net structure benefit sanding?

The open net structure allows for enhanced dust extraction across the entire surface of the disc, leading to a cleaner work environment, a smoother finish, and faster material removal as dust doesn't load up the abrasive.

What is the advantage of Aluminium Oxide grains?

Aluminium Oxide is a durable, sharp abrasive material. These grains are semi-friable and self-sharpening, meaning they break down slightly during use to expose new sharp edges, ensuring consistent and efficient stock removal throughout the disc's life.

How do I change the disc?

The disc features a hook and loop attachment system. Simply pull the old disc off the sander's backing pad and press the new disc firmly onto the pad.

Troubleshooting

Disc not adhering to sander pad

Ensure the hook and loop backing pad on your sander is clean and in good condition. The hook and loop system on the disc may be worn; try a new disc.

Poor dust extraction

Verify that the dust extraction port on your sander is not blocked. Ensure your vacuum or dust extractor is functioning correctly and has adequate suction. Check that the disc's mesh aligns sufficiently with the sander's extraction points, though alignment is less critical than with holed discs.

Rapid clogging on resinous wood

While designed to resist clogging, some extremely resinous woods may still pose a challenge. Ensure your dust extraction is maximized. Consider using a coarser grit or an even coarser mesh abrasive if the issue persists, or reduce sanding pressure.

Premature wear or tearing of the mesh

Check for excessive pressure applied during sanding, which can stress the mesh. Ensure no foreign objects are caught between the disc and the workpiece. Inspect the sander's backing pad for damage that could be causing uneven wear.

Pros and Cons

Pros

Exceptional dust extraction for a cleaner workspace and finish.
Aggressive stock removal due to self-sharpening Aluminium Oxide grains.
Resistant to clogging and heat build-up on challenging materials.
Quick and easy abrasive changes with the hook and loop system.
Universal fitment simplifies setup by not requiring hole alignment.

Cons

May not be the optimal choice for very soft, non-resinous woods where a less aggressive abrasive is preferred.
Requires a compatible hook and loop backing pad on the sander.
Can be more expensive than traditional coated abrasives.
Performance depends on the effectiveness of the connected dust extraction system.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: Ensure your random orbital sander has a compatible hook and loop backing pad. Attach the Trend Mesh Sanding Disc by aligning it with the pad and pressing firmly. For optimal dust extraction, connect your vacuum or dust extraction system to the sander.

Compatibility: This 125mm disc is designed for use with 125mm random orbital sanders equipped with a hook and loop system. It is suitable for a wide range of materials including wood, paint, plastic, filler, plaster, and metal.

Care: Although designed to resist clogging, regular cleaning can prolong the life of the disc. Gently brush off dust and debris after each use. Store discs flat in a dry environment to prevent damage to the backing and grit. If a disc becomes excessively clogged or worn, replace it to maintain performance and prevent surface damage.
