Sanding disc set EINHELL kwb 491512, 5 pcs — abrasive accessory for sanders

EINHELL kwb 491512 sanding disc set includes five 120-grit abrasive discs designed as consumable accessories for compatible orbital sanders. The discs feature a fibreglass mesh lattice with silicon carbide grit and a velour backing, providing improved lifetime and easy maintenance. These sanding discs are intended for surface preparation, smoothing and finishing of wood, metal, painted or acrylic surfaces, and they are suitable for a wide range of DIY, repair and renovation tasks.

Advantages

The fibreglass mesh construction with synthetic-resin bonding and silicon carbide grit provides up to four times longer lifetime compared with standard aluminium oxide abrasive paper. The open mesh structure allows dust to pass through, contributing to consistent cutting performance and compatibility with sanders that have extraction. Discs can be shaken clean or rinsed under running water for reuse, and the velour reverse ensures secure attachment to hook-and-loop sanding pads. The set of five discs offers convenient replacement supply for ongoing sanding work.

Suitable for

• Smoothing wood surfaces and removing old finishes
• Sanding and preparing metal for painting or finishing
• Removing paint, acrylic paint or rust from substrate
• Smoothing fillers and levelling very rough areas
• General DIY, renovation and repair sanding tasks

How to use

Attach a disc to an orbital sander using the velour hook-and-loop reverse, ensuring the disc is properly aligned and secured. Start sanding with light to moderate pressure and move the sander evenly across the surface to avoid gouging. For coarse removal use steady, overlapping passes; for finishing, reduce pressure and increase motion speed to achieve a uniform surface. When the disc becomes clogged, shake it out or rinse under running water and allow to dry completely before reusing. Replace the disc when the abrasive performance noticeably decreases.

Usage recommendations

Use appropriate personal protective equipment such as eye protection, dust mask and hearing protection. Match the 120-grit discs to the task: suitable for smoothing and medium material removal but follow with finer grits if a smoother finish is required. When working on metals or painted surfaces, check for hazardous coatings and ensure adequate ventilation or extraction to reduce dust exposure.
