Orbital sanding pad GRAPHITE 55H886 — manual sanding supply, 115 mm width, 166 g, 1 pc

GRAPHITE 55H886 orbital sanding pad is a manual sanding supply intended for hand sanding tasks and use with orbital grinders, trowels and sanding blocks. The pad supplied as a single unit measures 115 mm in width and weighs 166 g; the matching sanding sheet measures 230 x 280 mm with P60 grit and a semi-open alumina abrasive coating on C-paper backing. It is suitable for smoothing, finishing and material removal on wood, wood-based materials, metals and plastics where manual control and precise surface preparation are required.

Advantages

The semi-open coating with alumina grains covers approximately 80–90% of the sheet surface, providing effective abrasive action while reducing clogging during use. C-paper backing ensures reliable mechanical strength and consistent performance with orbital grinders, sanding blocks and hand trowels. Supplied as a single pad per pack, the unit is lightweight and easy to handle for controlled manual sanding operations.

Suitable for

• Sanding and leveling wooden and wood-based surfaces
• Removing old paint or preparing painted surfaces for refinishing
• Matting and deburring metal and plastic components
• Finishing and smoothing composite materials

How to use

Attach the appropriate sanding sheet to the pad or tool in accordance with the tool manufacturer's instructions. For manual sanding with a block or trowel, secure the sheet on the pad and apply even pressure while moving across the workpiece. When used with an orbital grinder, ensure the sheet is properly aligned and tightened, start at low speed to verify contact, then proceed with controlled passes until the desired surface level and finish are achieved. Replace the sanding sheet when abrasive effectiveness decreases or clogging impairs performance.

Usage recommendations

Use P60 grit for initial material removal and coarse shaping; switch to finer grits for finishing. Work with consistent pressure and overlapping strokes to avoid gouges. Keep the work area clean and remove dust regularly to extend abrasive life and improve efficiency.
