Abrasive cloth roll KLINGSPOR KL381J 150 mm, grit 180, length 50 m is a general-purpose sanding medium designed for manual and machine use. The 150 mm wide abrasive cloth comes in a continuous 50 m roll with P180 grain that balances cutting action and surface refinement. Built on a flexible cloth backing, this abrasive adapts to profiles and contours while offering increased durability compared with paper-backed alternatives. It is suitable for preparing and finishing wood, metal and composite surfaces, and can be applied on belt sanders, wide drums and for hand trimming.
Advantages
The cloth backing provides flexibility and long service life, maintaining abrasive performance over extended use. The P180 grit produces a fine-to-medium finish that removes light paint, rust and oxidation without aggressive material removal. Supplied as a 50 m roll, the product reduces downtime for roll changes and allows custom cutting to fit different sanding machines and hand tools. Its consistent grit distribution ensures uniform results across a range of surfaces.
Suitable for
- Surface preparation and smoothing of wood and veneers
- Removal of light paint, rust and oxidation on metal
- Intermediate sanding between coats of paint or lacquer
- Hand trimming and contour sanding on composite parts
- Use on belt sanders and wide sanding drums

How to use
Cut the required length from the roll to match the working width of the sanding machine or for hand-held use. Mount the abrasive strip correctly on the belt sander or drum, ensuring proper tension and alignment before switching on the machine. For hand sanding, wrap a piece around a sanding block or use directly with gloved hands, keeping even pressure and consistent strokes. Begin with light passes to assess material removal rate, then increase pressure if more stock removal is required. Replace the abrasive when the cutting action diminishes or when clogging affects finish quality.
Usage recommendations
Use P180 grit for final shaping and between-coat sanding; for heavier stock removal select a coarser grade. Keep the abrasive clean by occasional brushing or using a cleaning stick to reduce loading when sanding softwoods or painted surfaces.
