Nylon Mesh Cushioned Arbor-Mount Sanding
Discs for Stainless Steel and Hard Metals


Often used for stripping, these discs eliminate discoloration from heat buildup. The abrasive-embedded mesh construction gives you more control over sanding pressure, creating finer and more consistent finishes. Fit these discs over your tool’s arbor. They don't require a backup pad.
Discs with threaded arbor hole don’t need a nut to secure, enabling quick disc changes.

Fast-Cutting Nylon Mesh Cushioned Arbor-Mount Sanding Discs

Nylon mesh is embedded with precision-shaped ceramic alumina, which cuts through hard metals like stainless steel faster than other forms of ceramic alumina because of its sharp, outwardly pointed grit. The grain particles continually fracture to produce new, sharp cutting edges while maintaining their specially engineered points and angle. The design also reduces heat generation while sanding, which prevents the grit from wearing down. These discs are also good for sanding steel and soft metals.
When you need to achieve a more consistent finish, choose nylon mesh discs over paper- or cloth-backed discs. The mesh flexes to compensate for uneven sanding pressure as you sand. Fit these discs over your tool’s arbor. They require a backup pad (sold separately).
Extra coarse grade is for heavy cleaning and stripping.
Coarse grade is for light deburring and removal of heavy rust and surface imperfections.
Medium grade is for cleaning, blending, and rust removal.
Fine grade is for light cleaning, blending, and finishing.
Very fine grade is for light scratch removal, finishing, and polishing.

Nylon Mesh Cushioned Quick-Change Sanding
Discs for Stainless Steel and Hard Metals
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 either silicon carbide or ceramic alumina abrasive to cut through stainless steel and other hard metals. A special fastener on the back allows you to easily swap one disc for another. Choose the fastener style that matches your tool or backup pad.
Silicon carbide is one of the sharpest abrasives. It’s good for cutting fast under light pressure, but wears out faster than ceramic alumina. Ceramic alumina is sharp and dense. Its grit continually fractures, producing new, sharp cutting edges to cut twice as fast and lasts twice as long as silicon carbide.
Extra coarse grade is good for heavy cleaning and stripping. It aggressively cuts the surface so that it’s clean for further processing such as coating, painting, or soldering.
Coarse and medium grades blend your surface and remove weld lines, spatter, and discoloration in one step. They can also remove rust and surface imperfections. Coarse discs remove heavier amounts of rust than medium. Medium discs can also be used on softer metals and alloys.

Nylon Mesh Cushioned Hook and Loop Sanding
Discs for Stainless Steel and Hard Metals

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 sanding pressure as you sand. It's embedded with ceramic alumina, which has grit that continually fractures to produce new, sharp cutting edges. Ceramic alumina is sharp and dense enough to shape hard metals such as stainless steel, nickel, and cast iron without dulling quickly. It sands faster and lasts longer than aluminum oxide but requires more force to abrade properly. Quickly attach, remove, and reuse discs with a compatible sanding tool or backup pad (sold separately).
Extra coarse grade is for light deburring and removal of heavy rust and surface imperfections.
