About Sanding Abrasives

Sheet Sanding Blocks

Sand by hand with comfort and control. Cut sanding sheets and rolls (both sold separately) to size to fit these blocks. For additional abrasive materials and grits, see our full offering of sanding sheets and sanding rolls.

Style B blocks have a handle that adjusts 360°—turn it and it clicks into whatever position you need. The sanding sheet wraps around the ends of the block, so these sanders are good for reaching into corners and tight spaces.

Style C blocks have a cushioned, ergonomic grip for comfort while you sand.

Style D and E blocks are extra long to sand large surfaces with a more consistent finish/flatness than smaller sanding blocks. Style D have two handles, so you can apply more pressure to remove more material. Style E have a grip along the entire length. Sand in any direction with one or both hands.

Use hard-density blocks on flat surfaces. Use soft-density blocks on contoured surfaces.

Nylon Mesh Pad Sanding Blocks

Attach a nylon mesh sanding pad (sold separately) to these blocks for improved comfort and control. Teeth on the bottom of the block sink into the mesh of the sanding pad to hold it in place. Use them with pads at least the size of your block. They're most commonly used with standard 6” Wd. × 9” Lg. sanding pads.

Flexible Sheet Sanding Blocks

Adhesive Back

Hook and Loop

Dual Sided Hook and Loop

Squeeze these blocks into corners or hug curved edges—they’re made from flexible foam. Pair them with adhesive-back or hook and loop sanding sheets and rolls (not included). If your sheet is larger than the block, you can cut it to size or let it hang off the side.

Clog-resistant blocks have holes that collect dust while you sand. They keep material from building up on the surface of your sanding sheet, which extends the life of the abrasive.

Dual-sided blocks let you switch from quickly removing material to finishing a workpiece. Use the rigid side to apply pressure, and the soft side for light sanding.

Disc Sanding Blocks

Attach sanding discs to these hand sanding blocks.

Style D are a half-moon shape, so they can sand both flat and contoured surfaces. Fold your sanding disc over the block, then use the straight edge for finishing flat faces or the curved edge for squeezing into tight spots.

Style E have a cushioned grip designed to fit your hand for extra comfort while sanding.

Sheet Sanding Block Assortments

Keep a variety of sanding blocks on hand to smooth workpieces of all shapes and sizes. The blocks in these assortments are more comfortable to hold than a sheet alone and give you greater control while you sand. Larger blocks are good for finishing wide surfaces; smaller blocks squeeze into tight spaces. All are bright yellow, so they’re easy to spot in dusty shops. Pair them with adhesive-back or hook-and-loop sanding sheets and rolls (sold separately).

Dust-Collecting Sheet Sanding Blocks

Keep your environment clean and prevent dust from clogging your abrasive—these blocks have vacuum holes and a dust extraction port. They are designed to help you sand by hand with comfort and control. Use them with hook and loop sanding sheets or rolls (sold separately).

Style A and B blocks are foam—they flex to compensate for uneven pressure as you sand. They’re best for sanding contoured surfaces. However, they do not remove material as quickly as plastic sanding blocks. Style A blocks have a flat face, so they’re good for sanding flat surfaces or wider contours. Style B blocks have a curved surface, so they’re good for sanding tighter curves and contours.

Style C and D blocks are plastic—they’re firm and remove material from your surface more quickly than foam blocks. They have a flat face, so they’re good for sanding flat surfaces or wider contours. Style C blocks have a foam grip for added comfort. Style D blocks are long with two handles, so you can apply more pressure to remove lots of material from your workpiece.

Vacuum hose kits (sold separately) connect your sanding block to a vacuum. They come with adapters for a variety of systems. The 20 ft. hose gives you plenty of room to work away from your vacuum.

Disc Sanding Blocks for Wet Sanding

Keep the surface of your workpiece damp during sanding. These blocks have a sponge in the center that soaks up water or lubricant, then slowly releases it as you sand. This makes the surface of your sanding disc (sold separately) slippery, which helps prevent scratches. It also washes away dust and debris, removing clogs and extending the life of the abrasive. Made of firm foam, these blocks distribute pressure evenly across the surface of the sanding disc. They’re often used for surface preparation or finishing delicate materials.

Filter Paper

Cut or fold this paper to the size and shape you need for liquid filtration applications. It’s often used to make pleated filter cartridges. Paper is 100% synthetic and has no binders or adhesives.

Polyester paper does not ravel or fray.

Polypropylene paper resists solvents and acids.

Filter Paper Discs

Disc

Pleated Disc

Often used in laboratory testing, these discs are designed to capture tiny particles from fluids.

Pleated discs have a large surface area, which retains more particles than flat discs.

Cellulose discs are good for general purpose filtering, where exceptional strength or chemical resistance is not needed.

PTFE discs hold up to acids and solvents, and can be used with a wider range of chemicals than fiberglass and cellulose.

Ultra-Thin Filter Fabric

With thickness similar to filter paper, this fabric provides higher flow and is more flexible than felt. It’s often used to filter water, light oil, and water soluble and synthetic coolants in metal polishing, grinding, and finishing applications. This fabric is also good for filtering air and petroleum.

Rayon/polyester fabric is commonly used in coolant applications.

Polyester fabric is 100% polyester for greater strength than rayon/polyester.
