Quick-Change Sanding Disc Assortments
From rough sanding to smooth finishing, these disc assortments include a variety of grits to meet your needs. All include discs with aluminum oxide abrasive, which is the most common for general sanding. It’s tough enough for steel and wood, and it won’t crack under high stress. A special fastener on the back of each disc allows you to easily swap one disc for another. Choose the fastener style that matches your tool or backup pad.
Style C assortments also include discs with zirconia alumina abrasive, which lasts longer and sands faster than aluminum oxide. This is because the grit continually fractures to produce new, sharp cutting edges. It’s the best choice for aggressively removing material from steel and wood.

Backup Pads with Shank for Quick-Change Sanding Discs
Secure the shank into the collet or chuck of your tool and attach the quick-change fastener on the back of compatible sanding discs to the pad.
Pads with medium density provide enough support for heavy material removal but are flexible enough for contouring and shaping.
