Sanding Disc Selection
Use sanding discs and accessories that are:
• correct size as written on tool’s nameplate.
• rated at or above the RPM listed on the tool’s
nameplate.
• correct accessory, wheel type and grit for the job.
Refer to the table below to select the correct type
of sanding disc for your job. Generally, use 24 or
36 grit for heavy stock removal; 50, 60, or 80 grit
for medium stock removal and 120 grit for finishing.
Always begin with a coarse grit, using successively
finer grits to obtain the desired finish.

metal jobs. Best for cold-rolled steel, stainless
steel or metals requiring tough, fast cutting, long
lasting abrasives.
Aluminum Zirconia Bi-Cut
Unique grit pattern is arranged in clusters for fast-
er stock removal and cleaning. Ideal for removing
paint from cars, boats, etc. without clogging.
Ceramic
