Manual sanding supplies AWTools AW57457 — abrasive sheets set, 5 pieces, total weight 43 g

AWTools AW57457 manual sanding supplies set includes five abrasive sheets with a total weight of 43 g. Abrasive grains are made of aluminum oxide (corundum) permanently bonded to a fabric backing. Sheets feature a Velcro-compatible backing for quick attachment and removal on sanding pads and are designed for hand sanding as well as use with machines that accept 125 mm backing pads or 125 mm bench top disc sanders. The 8-hole pattern supports efficient dust extraction during sanding operations.

Advantages

The use of aluminum oxide (corundum) provides consistent cutting performance and wear resistance across a variety of materials. Permanent bonding to the fabric backing ensures durability and flexible handling for contoured surfaces. Velcro fastening offers rapid replacement of worn sheets without tools, and the 8-hole layout improves compatibility with extraction systems to reduce dust accumulation and maintain a cleaner working area.

Suitable for

• Sanding and smoothing wood surfaces before finishing
• Removing paint, varnish and surface coatings
• Light material removal on plaster and plastic
• Preparing metal surfaces for painting or polishing
• Use in hobby, workshop and repair tasks

Key specifications

• Abrasive material: aluminum oxide (corundum) grain
• Backing: fabric with Velcro-compatible surface
• Quantity: 5 abrasive sheets
• Total weight: 43 g
• Compatible diameter: 125 mm sanding pads and bench disc sanders

• Suitable for manual sanding and machine use with Velcro backing

How to use

Attach an abrasive sheet to a compatible 125 mm backing pad using the Velcro surface, ensuring the 8-hole pattern aligns with the tool's dust extraction ports. For hand sanding, hold the sheet or use a hand sanding block and apply even pressure, moving with the grain on wood or in consistent passes on other materials. Replace sheets when cutting performance decreases or the surface becomes clogged; discarded sheets should be handled according to local waste regulations.

Usage recommendations

For best results, start with a coarser grit to remove material quickly, then progress to finer grits for smoothing and finishing. Ensure dust extraction is connected when using power sanders to prolong abrasive life and maintain a cleaner workspace. Use appropriate personal protective equipment such as a dust mask and eye protection during sanding.
