Klingspor PS 18 EK Grinding Lap

The Klingspor PS 18 EK Grinding Lap is a professional-grade abrasive tool engineered for high-performance surface processing and efficient material removal. Built with a focus on durability and consistency, this 15 cm grinding disc utilizes high-quality aluminium oxide grain bonded to a robust paper backing. It is designed to withstand the rigors of demanding industrial and workshop environments, ensuring reliable results across a variety of grinding applications.

Advantages

This grinding lap offers exceptional cutting performance due to the premium aluminium oxide abrasive, which maintains its sharpness over extended periods of use. The high-quality paper backing provides the necessary flexibility and strength to prevent tearing during operation, while the uniform grain distribution ensures a consistent finish on the workpiece. Its design promotes efficient dust removal and heat dissipation, which helps in maintaining the integrity of both the tool and the surface being processed.

Suitable for

• Smoothing and leveling wooden surfaces
• Removing old paint or varnish layers
• Metal surface preparation and deburring
• General sanding tasks in professional workshops

When it may not be suitable

This product is not intended for wet grinding applications, as the paper backing is designed for dry use. It may also be less effective on extremely hard materials like hardened steel or ceramics, where specialized diamond or silicon carbide abrasives would be more appropriate.

Key specifications

How to use

To use the Klingspor PS 18 EK, ensure that the grinding machine is powered off before attaching the disc to the backing pad. Align the disc carefully with the center of the pad to ensure balanced rotation. Once securely attached, start the machine and apply light, even pressure to the surface. Move the tool in a consistent pattern to achieve an uniform finish, avoiding excessive force that could lead to premature wear of the abrasive grain.

What to consider before purchase

• Verify the compatibility of the 15 cm diameter with your existing sanding equipment.
• Ensure the grit size is appropriate for your specific material removal or finishing requirements.
• Confirm that your application is suitable for dry grinding processes.

Usage recommendations

Always wear appropriate personal protective equipment, including safety glasses and a dust mask, when operating grinding tools to protect against airborne particles and debris.
