Makita D-78695 Sanding Disc 125mm for Aluminium, Plaster, Steel and Wood

The Makita D-78695 is a professional-grade 125mm sanding disc engineered for high-performance surface preparation across a diverse range of materials. Utilizing an aluminium oxide net structure, this abrasive disc is specifically designed to manage fine dust effectively, allowing particles to pass through the entire surface of the net rather than clogging between the grains. This design ensures consistent material removal and a superior finish on various surfaces, making it a reliable choice for demanding construction, renovation, and woodworking projects.

Advantages

The primary benefit of this net sanding disc is its advanced dust extraction capability, which significantly reduces clogging and extends the lifespan of the abrasive material. By preventing dust buildup, the disc maintains its cutting efficiency for longer periods, providing a more uniform finish compared to traditional paper discs. The inclusion of a hook and loop fastening system allows for quick and secure attachment to compatible rotary tools, facilitating efficient workflow and easy disc changes during intensive tasks.

Suitable for

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

When it may not be suitable

This sanding disc is not intended for heavy-duty grinding or cutting applications where a rigid grinding wheel is required. It is also not suitable for use without a protective pad, as direct contact between the net and the machine sole may cause mechanical damage to the tool.

Key specifications

• Diameter: 125 mm
• Material: Aluminium oxide
• Fastening type: Hook and loop
• Quantity: 10 pieces per pack
• Application: Medium material removal

How to use

To use the Makita D-78695, first ensure that your rotary sander is equipped with a compatible protective pad to prevent damage to the tool's backing plate. Align the disc with the hook and loop surface of the pad and press firmly to secure it. During operation, maintain even pressure across the surface to achieve a consistent finish. Periodically check the disc for wear and replace it when the abrasive grains lose their effectiveness to ensure optimal performance.

What to consider before purchase

• Verify that your sander supports 125mm diameter discs.
• Ensure you have a protective pad available for use.
• Check if the grit level is appropriate for your specific finishing requirements.

Usage recommendations: Always wear appropriate personal protective equipment, including a dust mask and safety goggles, when sanding materials that generate fine dust. For the best results, use a vacuum extraction system in conjunction with the net disc to keep the workspace clean and maintain maximum abrasive efficiency.
