Makita D-78667 Sanding Disc 125mm for Aluminium, Plaster, Steel, and Wood

The Makita D-78667 is a professional-grade 125mm sanding disc engineered for high-performance surface preparation across a diverse range of materials. Designed as an aluminium oxide net sanding disc, it excels in environments where dust management is critical, as the open-net structure allows for efficient debris extraction through the entire surface. This prevents clogging between the abrasive grains, ensuring consistent material removal and a superior finish on projects involving aluminium, plaster, steel, and wood.

Advantages

This sanding disc offers exceptional durability and efficiency due to its advanced net construction, which significantly reduces dust buildup during operation. By facilitating continuous airflow and dust extraction, the disc maintains its cutting performance for longer periods compared to traditional sanding sheets. The hook and loop fastening system allows for quick and secure attachment to compatible rotary tools, while the versatile abrasive composition makes it suitable for both aggressive material removal and fine finishing tasks.

Suitable for

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

When it may not be suitable

This sanding disc is not intended for use on extremely hard materials like masonry, stone, or glass, as these may cause premature wear of the abrasive grains. It is also not suitable for wet sanding applications, as the net structure is optimized for dry dust extraction.

Key specifications

• Diameter: 125 mm
• Material: Aluminium oxide net
• Fastening type: Hook and loop
• Quantity per pack: 10 pieces
• Compatibility: Suitable for various rotary sanders

How to use

To use the Makita D-78667, ensure your sander is disconnected from the power source before attaching the disc. Align the hook and loop backing of the disc with the base of your sander and press firmly to secure it. It is essential to use this disc in combination with a protective pad to prevent damage to the sander's backing plate. Once attached, begin sanding with light, even pressure, allowing the tool to do the work. Move the sander in smooth, overlapping motions to achieve a uniform surface finish.

What to consider before purchase

• Ensure your sander is compatible with 125mm diameter discs.
• A protective pad is required for operation and is not included in the package.
• Verify that the grit level is appropriate for your specific material removal needs.

Usage recommendations

Always wear appropriate personal protective equipment, including a dust mask and safety goggles, when sanding. Regularly check the disc for signs of wear and replace it promptly to maintain optimal surface quality and prevent damage to the workpiece.
