Apply light, even pressure during the grinding process to allow the abrasive to work effectively without overheating the surface.

What to consider before purchase

• Verify that your grinding machine is compatible with 15 cm diameter discs.
• Ensure the backing pad system matches the attachment method of the grinding lap.
• Consider the material you are processing to ensure aluminium oxide is the appropriate abrasive type.

Usage recommendations

Always wear appropriate personal protective equipment, including safety glasses and a dust mask, when operating grinding tools. Store the grinding laps in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and moisture to maintain the integrity of the adhesive and the abrasive surface.
