-
What size is the disc and what's included in each package?
This disc measures at five inches in diameter. Each inner package contains one hundred pieces, while each case contains a total of five hundred discs – packaged in die-cut boxes to protect them during transport.
-
What kind of equipment can I use these discs with?
These discs have a Hookit attachment system that works well on compatible hook-and-loop pads attached to random orbital sanders from popular home improvement brands like DeWalt or Milwaukee, among others.
-
How hard do I need to press when using this product?
. Actually you don't need to press so hard as gentle pressure will be enough for getting better results with less fatigue.
The 3M™ Hookit™ Clean Sanding Disc 216U is a versatile sanding disc made of aluminum oxide. It is perfect for finishing applications on wood, primer, paint, sealers, topcoats, fiberglass, and plastics. The disc is designed with the 3M™ Hookit™ (hook-and-loop) attachment system, which makes disc changes fast and easy. This means that the disc can be used again and again for the extent of the abrasive life.
For maximum dust extraction, it is recommended to use this disc with a 3M™ Hookit™ Clean Sanding pad and a random orbital sander with vacuum (both sold separately).
Sandpaper discs cut better and last longer when dust isn't loading the cutting surface of the abrasives. The Clean Sanding products from 3M have a proprietary multi-hole pattern that evacuates dust at a higher rate than 5- or 6-hole products. This hole design doesn't even require alignment of holes with the disc pad, making disc changes quick and simple. The open coat construction means the abrasive grains are placed with space between them to help evacuate dust and other sanding debris and avoid clogging the cutting edge of the grains. The load-resistant coating allows the disc to continue cutting even when sanding softwoods, paints, and other materials that would otherwise clog the disc and hinder sanding ability. All of this adds up to increased productivity and reduced material consumption.
3M chose aluminum oxide abrasive for this sanding disc because it is a popular choice among industrial professionals. Aluminum oxide has a fast cut-rate and long life, making it a tough, durable abrasive that self-fractures to expose fresh cutting edges in use. Traditional abrasives such as garnet quickly wear down with use. Due to their fast cut-rate, hardness, and strength, aluminum oxide abrasives are widely used in sanding and finishing applications. Aluminum oxide is suitable for a wide variety of materials in both woodworking and metalworking, including ferrous alloys.
