About Sanding Abrasives

Multipurpose Sanding Sticks
The backing cushions the abrasive to prevent gouging your work surface.
Sticks with rubber backing are more flexible and last longer than sticks with fiber backing.

Nylon Mesh Cushioned Sanding Pads for Internal and Irregular Surfaces
The abrasive-embedded mesh construction gives you more control over sanding pressure, creating finer and more consistent finishes. These pads sand inside pipes and tubes as well as on an angle to reach into corners and slots. A shank adapter is required (sold separately).
Coarse grade is for deburring and removing heavy material.

Sanding Pads for Internal and Irregular Surfaces
Sand inside pipes, tubes, and hard to reach corners with these pads. A shank adapter is required (sold separately). The most common abrasive material, aluminum oxide is hard enough to sand steel and wood.
Square pads sand quickly and won't leave swirl marks because of the alternating stroke of the pad corners.
Cross pads allow you to see through the pad when in motion to better control material removal.

Sanding Pads for Internal and Irregular
Surfaces on Stainless Steel and Hard Metals
The ceramic alumina abrasive on these pads is sharp and dense enough to shape hard metals such as stainless steel, nickel, and iron without dulling quickly. They’re often used to sand inside pipes and tubes, or to sand at an angle when reaching into corners and slots. The abrasive material on these pads continuously fractures to produce new, sharp cutting edges. They sand faster and last longer than aluminum oxide but require more force to abrade properly. A shank adapter (sold separately) is required.
Square pads sand quickly and won't leave swirl marks because of the alternating stroke of the pad corners.
Cross pads allow you to see through the pad when in motion to better control material removal.

Oscillating Tool Sanding Kits
Everything you need to use your oscillating tool as a sander—great for smaller jobs that a large sander can’t accommodate. Swap out sheets on the backup pads quickly thanks to the hook and loop. These can be used with Starlock-compatible oscillating tools.
Triangle-shaped sheets reach into tight corners and spaces. They have holes to allow dust removal when you connect your tool to a dust extractor and vacuum system to prevent buildup of debris on the abrasive surface.
Square-shaped sheets can wrap around contoured surfaces, such as wooden rods and handrails.
