Sanding Discs Michelin P60 225 mm Mesh with Velour Backing, Pack of 5 (MN-68-549/5)

Michelin mesh sanding discs P60, 225 mm diameter, are coarse-grit abrasives designed for efficient material removal and preparation of rough surfaces. The open-mesh construction improves dust extraction during sanding, reducing clogging and maintaining cutting performance. A velour backing provides secure and even attachment to hook-and-loop sanding pads on compatible pneumatic and electric orbital sanders. The pack contains five discs intended for woodworking, paint and varnish stripping, and other coarse sanding tasks.

Advantages

The mesh design allows rapid dust evacuation and prolonged abrasive life compared with closed-back discs when used with an extractor. The P60 grit offers aggressive cutting for quick stock removal while preserving control during operation. Velour backing ensures reliable adhesion to hook-and-loop pads and simplifies disc replacement. The 225 mm diameter covers larger surface areas, improving sanding efficiency on wide panels and doors.

Suitable for

• Wood rough shaping and leveling
• Paint and varnish stripping
• Sanding of large wooden panels, doors, and furniture components
• Initial preparation of metal surfaces prior to further finishing (with appropriate safety measures)
• Use with pneumatic and electric orbital sanders that accept 225 mm hook-and-loop discs

Key specifications

• Grit: P60 (coarse)
• Diameter: 225 mm
• Backing type: velour (hook-and-loop compatible)
• Construction: open mesh (improved dust extraction)
• Quantity: pack of 5 discs
• Recommended use: coarse material removal and surface preparation

How to use

Select an orbital sander with a 225 mm hook-and-loop pad and ensure the tool is compatible with coarse abrasives. Attach a disc by aligning the velour backing with the pad and pressing firmly to secure. Operate the sander at the manufacturer-recommended speed and apply even, moderate pressure; allow the abrasive to remove material rather than forcing heavy pressure. When cutting performance decreases or the mesh shows heavy clogging or wear, replace the disc with a fresh one from the pack. Use appropriate personal protective equipment and dust extraction where possible.

Usage recommendations

For best results, use these P60 mesh discs with a sander connected to a dust extraction system to maximize life and maintain a cleaner working environment. Test on a small area before proceeding with critical surfaces, and match grit progression by following P60 with finer grits for a smoother finish.
