AWTools manual sanding supply AW57416 — pack of 5, total weight 595 g is a set of five aluminium-oxide abrasive discs intended for hand-held and bench sanding tasks. Each disc has corundum grain permanently bonded to a fabric backing for consistent abrasion and extended life. Discs fasten with Velcro for quick replacement, and the set is suitable for preparing and finishing surfaces made of wood, metal, painted substrates, plastics and plaster. The pack provides multiple consumables for small repairs, DIY work and workshop use.

Advantages

The abrasive material is aluminium oxide (corundum grain) permanently attached to a flexible fabric backing, combining durability with even wear. Velcro fastening enables rapid change of worn discs without tools, reducing downtime. Compatibility with 125 mm backing pads and 125 mm bench top disc sanders makes the discs versatile for both hand-held air sanders and stationary bench sanders. The pack of five ensures spare units are available for multiple jobs or stages of a project.

How to use

Select a disc suitable for the required grit and attach it to the 125 mm backing pad via the Velcro surface. For hand-held air sanders, secure the disc before starting the tool and keep steady, even movements across the work surface. For bench top disc sanders, ensure the machine is switched off while fitting the disc and that the workpiece is supported and guided with controlled pressure. Replace discs as they clog or wear to maintain consistent sanding performance.

Usage recommendations

Use progressive grit steps for best results: start with coarser abrasives to remove material or coatings, then switch to finer discs for smoothing and finishing. Keep the sanding surface clean and avoid excessive pressure to prolong disc life. Wear appropriate personal protective equipment such as safety glasses, dust mask and hearing protection when operating power sanders.
