Sanding disc set EINHELL 491908, 5 pieces

The EINHELL sanding disc set 491908 includes five 125 mm abrasive discs designed for use with random orbit sanders and compatible handheld sanding tools. Each disc features aluminium oxide abrasive coated on a phenolic resin bond with a strong backing and hook-and-loop fabric attachment. The set is intended for general surface preparation, smoothing and finishing of wood, metal and painted surfaces using grit 80 for medium-coarse stock removal and surface leveling.

Advantages

These sanding discs combine durable aluminium oxide abrasive and a sturdy backing to provide consistent cutting performance and extended life on wood and metal. The hook-and-loop fabric backing allows quick mounting and replacement on orbital sanders, while punched holes support dust extraction when used with compatible tools. The universal design fits most 125 mm random orbit sanders and is supplied as a practical set of five discs for repeat tasks or multi-stage sanding.

Suitable for

• Removing old paint and varnish from wooden surfaces
• Smoothing rough timber and shaping wooden components
• Preparing metal parts for repainting or rust treatment
• Leveling filler and jointing compounds before finishing
• General DIY renovation and repair jobs requiring medium-coarse sanding (grit 80)

How to use

Select the disc and attach it to a compatible 125 mm random orbit sander using the hook-and-loop backing. Ensure the sander is switched off before fitting. Start sanding with light pressure and move the sander steadily across the surface; allow the abrasive to do the work rather than forcing the tool. For painted or metal surfaces, use progressive passes and check the work frequently to avoid removing too much material. Replace discs when abrasive performance declines or when the backing deteriorates.

Usage recommendations

Use appropriate personal protective equipment such as safety glasses, dust mask and hearing protection. For best results, pair these grit 80 discs with finer grits in subsequent stages when preparing surfaces for finishing; combine with a dust-extracting sander or vacuum to reduce airborne dust.
