AWTools AW57417 — pack of 5 manual sanding discs with a total weight of 569 g. Each disc features aluminum oxide (corundum) abrasive permanently bonded to a fabric backing and a Velcro-compatible rear surface for fast attachment and replacement. The discs are intended for hand sanding and for use with sanders that accept 125 mm backing pads, including air sanders and 125 mm bench-top disc sanders. Designed for light to medium material removal on wood, paint, varnish, plastics, plaster and various metals.

Advantages

Aluminum oxide abrasive provides durable cutting performance and consistent grit life on a range of materials. The abrasive layer is permanently adhered to a flexible fabric, which improves conformity to contours and resists tearing during manual use. The Velcro-style fastening enables quick disc changes without tools, reducing downtime during sanding tasks. Pack of five replacement discs offers immediate spare parts for continued work sessions and small projects.

How to use

Select a disc with the appropriate grit for the task, align the Velcro rear surface with the 125 mm backing pad on your tool, and press firmly to secure. For manual sanding, hold the disc against the workpiece using light, even pressure and move in the direction that follows the grain where applicable. Replace worn discs quickly by peeling off the used disc from the backing pad and attaching a fresh one. When using power sanders, follow the sander manufacturer's safety and operating instructions, and ensure the disc is centered and securely attached before switching on the tool.

Usage recommendations

Use progressively finer grits to achieve a smooth finish: begin with a coarser disc for material removal, then switch to medium and fine discs for smoothing and final preparation. Wear appropriate personal protective equipment such as dust masks, eye protection, and gloves. Avoid excessive pressure to prevent premature wear of the abrasive and to maintain an even surface finish.
