AWTools manual sanding supply AW57415 — 5 pcs, total weight 612 g

The AWTools manual sanding supply AW57415 is a pack of five sanding discs with a total weight of 612 g, designed for manual and machine-assisted surface preparation. Each disc features aluminum oxide (corundum) abrasive permanently bonded to a fabric backing, and a Velcro-compatible backing for quick and secure attachment. The discs are suitable for working on wood, paint, varnish, plastic, plaster and a range of metals, and are compatible with 125 mm backing pads used on air sanders and 125 mm bench top disc sanders.

Advantages

Aluminum oxide abrasive provides durable cutting performance and long life on mixed materials. The permanently bonded grain on a flexible fabric backing improves tear resistance and even wear. Velcro (hook-and-loop) backing allows fast disc changes, reducing downtime during sanding tasks. The pack of five discs supplies multiple replacements for repetitive work or larger projects, while compatibility with common 125 mm sanding pads makes the set versatile across workshop and job-site tools.

Suitable for

• General-purpose sanding of wood and timber surfaces
• Paint and varnish removal and surface preparation

• Light grinding and finishing of plaster and drywall
• Deburring and surface blending on ferrous and non-ferrous metals

How to use

Select a disc appropriate for the desired grit and attach it to a clean 125 mm backing pad using the Velcro backing. Operate the air sander or bench top disc sander at the manufacturer’s recommended speed and pressure for the material being worked on. Use steady, even passes and avoid excessive pressure to prevent premature wear and overheating of the abrasive. Replace the disc when abrasive performance declines or when the backing shows damage.

Usage recommendations

For best results, start with a coarser grit to remove material quickly, then progress to finer grits for smoothing and finishing. Ensure the backing pad is free of residue before attaching a new disc, and follow tool safety instructions including eye, ear and respiratory protection when sanding paints or metals.
