How to Choose the Right Sanding Accessory
Match your pad to your tool and the job at hand using these tips:
1. Sander Type
Orbital sanders use circular hook and loop discs. Detail sanders often use triangle or rectangle pads. Match the shape and fixings.
2. Grit Grade
Lower grit (40–80) removes material fast. Mid-grit (120–180) blends and shapes. Fine grit (240+) finishes or flattens between coats.
3. Dust Extraction Holes
Use pads with holes that align to your sander’s base for cleaner results and improved pad life.

Sanding FAQs
Are hook & loop sanding discs reusable?
Yes – if not worn out or clogged, you can reattach and reuse. Clean gently to extend life between uses.
What grit should I use for wood prep?
Start with 80 or 120 grit for sanding bare timber. Move to 180–240 for prep before staining, painting or sealing.
Can I use any sanding disc on my sander?
No – check disc size, hole layout and attachment method. Use branded or compatible discs to maintain tool performance.
Do sanding sheets work on paint?
Yes – but use mid-grit (120–180) to avoid clogging or surface damage. Use dust extraction when possible for cleaner results.
What’s the best sanding pad for corners?
Triangular delta pads are designed for tight spaces and edge work, especially with detail sanders or multi-tools.
