Polax polyurethane sanding block 120x240 mm model 200-002

Polax polyurethane sanding block 120x240 mm model 200-002 is a hand sanding tool with a resilient polyurethane body sized to accept standard abrasive sheets. It is designed for manual sanding and polishing of wood, metal, plaster and painted surfaces. The flexible yet firm core distributes pressure evenly across the abrasive, helping to maintain a consistent contact with the workpiece and reducing localized gouging or over-sanding during surface preparation and finishing.

Advantages

The polyurethane construction offers a balance between firmness and flexibility, allowing the block to follow mild surface contours while keeping abrasive sheets flat where needed. Its size provides ample support for 120x240 mm sanding sheets, speeding up hand sanding on larger areas and helping to reduce operator fatigue through improved grip and pressure distribution. The block is compatible with various grit abrasives for coarse material removal, intermediate smoothing and final polishing.

Suitable for

• Sanding and smoothing wooden furniture, trim and panels
• Preparing painted surfaces for repainting or touch-ups
• Removing small imperfections from plaster and drywall
• Manual finishing of metal parts and welded joints
• Final polishing with fine-grit abrasives

Key specifications

• Material: resilient polyurethane body
• Dimensions: 120 × 240 mm (block size to fit matching abrasive sheets)
• Shape: rectangular hand block for flat and slightly contoured surfaces
• Compatibility: holds flat abrasive sheets for manual sanding
• Handling: designed for hand operation with ergonomic pressure distribution

How to use

Attach a correctly sized abrasive sheet to the block surface and secure it according to the sheet type (wrap-around or adhesive-backed). Apply even pressure and sand with the grain on wood or with steady, controlled strokes on other materials. Use coarser grits to remove material and finer grits for smoothing and finishing. Replace abrasive sheets as they clog or wear to maintain effective sanding performance. Clean the block surface after use to remove dust and grit.

Usage recommendations

For best results when working on curved profiles or detailed mouldings, use the block to support a cut-to-shape abrasive piece or switch to a smaller profile-specific sanding aid. When sanding painted surfaces, start with an appropriate grit to avoid damage to underlying layers and progress gradually to finer grits for a uniform finish.
