Utilizing an advanced aluminium oxide net structure, this abrasive disc is specifically designed to manage fine dust effectively, preventing clogging and ensuring consistent material removal. The net design allows for superior dust extraction across the entire surface, which helps maintain a cleaner workspace and extends the life of the abrasive grains. With its reliable hook and loop fastening system, this disc provides a secure fit and quick changes, making it an essential tool for demanding construction, renovation, and woodworking tasks.

Advantages

The primary benefit of this net sanding disc is its exceptional dust extraction capability, which prevents dust buildup between the abrasive grains and keeps the surface clear for optimal performance. By facilitating efficient dust removal, the disc maintains a consistent cutting rate and prevents overheating of the workpiece. The durable aluminium oxide construction ensures a long service life and high-quality finishing on diverse surfaces ranging from soft wood to hard steel. Its versatile design makes it a cost-effective solution for professionals who require a single, reliable abrasive for multiple types of materials.

Suitable for

• Sanding varnished wood and raw timber
• Smoothing plaster and mortar surfaces
• Removing rust and preparing steel
• Finishing aluminium and non-ferrous metals
• General renovation and construction projects

This sanding disc may not be suitable for heavy-duty grinding tasks that require aggressive material removal or for use on materials that are not compatible with aluminium oxide abrasives. It is also not intended for use without a protective pad, as direct contact between the net and the machine's backing pad may cause damage to the equipment.

Key specifications

• Diameter: 125 mm
• Abrasive material: Aluminium oxide
• Fastening type: Hook and loop
• Quantity: 10 pieces per pack
• Application: Dust-intensive sanding

To use the Makita D-78689, first ensure that your sander is equipped with a compatible hook and loop backing pad. It is mandatory to attach a protective pad between the sander's sole and the sanding disc to prevent mechanical wear and damage to the machine. Align the disc carefully with the backing pad and press firmly to secure it. During operation, apply light, even pressure to allow the abrasive grains to work effectively without forcing the tool, which helps in achieving a smooth and uniform finish.

What to consider before purchase

• Ensure your sander supports 125 mm diameter discs
• Verify that you have a protective pad available for use
• Check compatibility with your specific material type
• Consider the volume of work to ensure the 10-piece pack is sufficient

For the best results and to protect your equipment, always use this net sanding disc in combination with a protective pad. Regularly inspect the disc for wear and replace it when the abrasive grains become dull to maintain optimal sanding efficiency.
