Makita D-78651 Sanding Mesh Disc 125mm Grit A80

The Makita D-78651 Sanding Mesh Disc 125mm Grit A80 is a high-performance abrasive tool engineered for efficient material removal and precise surface finishing. Featuring an advanced mesh structure, this disc allows for superior dust extraction across its entire surface, preventing clogging and ensuring a consistent sanding result. Designed for durability and professional-grade performance, these discs are an essential component for any workshop handling diverse materials.

Advantages

The primary benefit of this sanding mesh disc is its open-net design, which significantly improves dust management compared to traditional paper discs. By allowing dust to pass through the entire surface, the disc maintains its cutting efficiency for longer periods and reduces the accumulation of debris on the workpiece. The hook and loop backing ensures quick and secure attachment to standard 125mm backing pads, facilitating rapid changes during intensive sanding projects.

Suitable for

• Sanding varnished wood and raw timber
• Smoothing plaster and mortar surfaces
• Removing rust and preparing steel or aluminium
• Finishing non-ferrous metals
• Working with fillers and varnishes

When it may not be suitable

This mesh disc is not intended for heavy-duty grinding or metal cutting tasks that require rigid bonded abrasive wheels. It is also not recommended for use without a protective pad, as direct contact between the mesh and the backing pad of the sander may cause premature wear or damage to the tool.

Key specifications

• Diameter: 125 mm
• Grit: A80 (Medium)
• Material: Aluminium oxide mesh
• Fastening: Hook and loop
• Quantity: 10 pieces per pack

How to use

To use the Makita D-78651, first ensure your sander is disconnected from the power source. Attach a protective pad to your sander's backing plate, then align the mesh disc with the hook and loop surface and press firmly to secure it. Once attached, connect the sander to a dust extraction system to maximize the benefits of the mesh design. Apply light, even pressure during operation, allowing the abrasive to do the work without forcing the tool.

What to consider before purchase

• Ensure your sander is compatible with 125mm diameter discs.
• Verify that you have a protective pad to place between the sander and the mesh disc.
• Confirm that the A80 grit is appropriate for your specific stage of material removal.

Usage recommendations

For optimal results and to extend the life of your equipment, always use the sanding mesh disc in combination with a dedicated dust extraction system and a protective interface pad.
