Choosing the Right Multi Tool Sanding Attachment
Consider the material and finish you need for your specific tasks when selecting your sanding attachments:
1. Sanding Grit
For heavy paint removal or tough surfaces, choose a coarser grit (60-80). For finer finishes, a finer grit (120-240) is ideal.
2. Attachment Shape
Triangle attachments are great for corners and edges, while rectangular pads cover larger flat areas efficiently.
3. Compatibility
Ensure the attachment fits your multi-tool model securely, preventing slippage during use.
