Water-Resistant Sanding Sheets

These sheets resist deterioration when used wet or with grease, chemicals, cutting fluids, and other solvents that may be present when sanding. They are coated with aluminum oxide, the most common abrasive, which is hard enough to sand steel and wood.

Cushioned Sanding Pads


Sized for tight spaces, these small pads sand flat and curved surfaces. They have a flexible foam layer that gives you more control over sanding pressure, creating finer and more consistent finishes. The abrasive is on the top and bottom. Pads resist deterioration when used wet or with grease, chemicals, cutting fluids, and other solvents that may be present when sanding.

Cushioned Sanding Rolls

A cushioned layer lets you apply more even sanding pressure on your workpiece, creating finer and more consistent finishes. Rolls with cloth and foam backing can be cut to length.
Silicon carbide is one of the sharpest abrasives. It cuts through soft metals and nonmetals with ease, and it generates minimal heat to prevent material buildup.

Hook and Loop Vacuum Sanding Discs
Holes allow dust removal when used with a vacuum sander.
A slick coating prevents debris from accumulating on the abrasive surface and keeps operating temperatures low. Quickly attach, remove, and reuse discs with a compatible sanding tool or backup pad (sold separately). Discs with plastic backing resist deterioration when used wet.
Add an optional cushioning pad between the disc and backup pad. It has a foam layer that conforms to bumps and crevices and distributes pressure more evenly as you sand, leaving a finer and more consistent finish.
