Nylon Mesh Cushioned Sanding Discs with Shank
When you need to achieve a more consistent finish, choose nylon mesh sanding discs over paper- or cloth-backed discs. The mesh is embedded with abrasive grit, and it flexes to compensate for uneven sanding pressure as you sand. Secure the shank into the collet or chuck of your tool.
The most common abrasive material, aluminum oxide is hard enough to sand steel and wood. It costs less than silicon carbide but is less sharp and takes longer to abrade. Silicon carbide is one of the sharpest abrasives. It cuts through metals and nonmetals with ease, generating minimal heat to prevent material buildup.
Flat discs have multiple layers of nylon mesh. They apply more surface contact on your workpiece than wave discs for quicker stock removal. Wave discs are seamless, composed of thin discs stacked on top of one another and bent into a wave shape, so they don’t create visible transition lines like other nylon mesh discs and flap wheels can. They’re good for polishing and finishing flat surfaces.
Extra coarse grade is for heavy stripping and shaping.
Medium grade is for moderate deburring and cleaning.
Fine grade is for light cleaning, blending, and finishing.
Very fine grade is for polishing and final finishing.

Nylon Mesh Cushioned Sanding Discs with
Shank for Stainless Steel and Hard Metals
Prepare material surfaces for finishing processes such as coating, painting, and soldering—these discs contain an extra coarse ceramic alumina abrasive for heavy cleaning and stripping of stainless steel, nickel, and other hard metals. Secure the shank into the collet or chuck of your tool.
When you need to achieve a more consistent finish, choose nylon mesh sanding discs over paper- or cloth-backed discs. The mesh flexes to compensate for uneven pressure as you sand. It's embedded with ceramic alumina, which has grit that continually fractures to produce new, sharp cutting edges.
