Makita P-31946 Sanding Discs 150mm Grit 100, 10 Pieces

The Makita P-31946 sanding discs are professional-grade abrasive accessories engineered for precision and durability. With a diameter of 150mm and a grit size of 100, these discs are specifically designed to deliver consistent results when used with compatible random orbital sanders. Each disc features an 8+1 hole configuration, which facilitates efficient dust extraction, keeping the workspace cleaner and extending the life of the abrasive surface.

Advantages

These sanding discs offer exceptional material removal rates, making them an ideal choice for tasks requiring both speed and accuracy. The high-quality abrasive coating ensures a uniform scratch pattern, which is essential for achieving a smooth finish on various materials. The robust construction of the backing material provides excellent tear resistance, allowing for prolonged use even during demanding sanding applications. Furthermore, the standardized hole pattern ensures compatibility with most dust collection systems, significantly reducing airborne particles during operation.

Suitable for

• Smoothing wooden surfaces before painting or staining
• Removing rust and oxidation from metal workpieces
• General surface preparation in woodworking projects
• Refinishing furniture and cabinetry
• Sanding down filler or primer layers

When it may not be suitable

These discs are not intended for use on materials that require specialized diamond or wet-sanding abrasives, such as glass, stone, or ceramic tiles. Additionally, they are not compatible with sanders that do not support the 150mm diameter or the specific 8+1 hole configuration.

Key specifications

• Diameter: 150mm
• Grit size: 100
• Hole pattern: 8+1 holes
• Quantity: 10 pieces per pack
• Compatibility: Random orbital sanders

How to use

To use the sanding discs, ensure the sander is disconnected from the power source. Align the holes of the disc with the holes on the sander's backing pad and press firmly to secure it using the hook-and-loop fastening system. Once attached, verify that the disc is centered. During operation, apply light, even pressure and allow the tool to do the work, moving the sander in a consistent pattern across the surface to avoid uneven material removal.

What to consider before purchase

• Verify the diameter of your sander's backing pad matches the 150mm requirement.
• Check if your sander supports the 8+1 hole dust extraction pattern.
• Ensure the 100 grit is appropriate for your specific stage of sanding, as it is a medium grit suitable for intermediate material removal.

Usage recommendations

Always wear appropriate personal protective equipment, including a dust mask and safety goggles, when operating sanding tools. Regularly inspect the disc for wear and replace it when the abrasive surface becomes clogged or dull to maintain optimal performance and prevent damage to the workpiece.
