3. What materials can I sand with these discs?

Sait Silicon Carbide Sanding Discs are ideal for sanding a variety of materials, including wood, varnish, metal, paint, plastic, and stone. They are particularly effective for finer applications and delicate surfaces requiring precise sanding.

4. What is the advantage of silicon carbide abrasive?

Silicon carbide is a hard and sharp abrasive that offers fast cutting performance and smooth finishes. It is particularly effective for precision sanding tasks and is less likely to clog, making it ideal for harder surfaces.

5. What grit options are available for these discs?

These discs are available in a range of grits, from coarse for material removal to fine for finishing and polishing tasks. Select the appropriate grit based on the requirements of your project.

6. How do I attach the discs to my sander?

The hook & loop (Velcro) backing allows for easy attachment. Simply align the disc with the sander’s base pad and press it into place. Ensure proper alignment for optimal performance and dust extraction.

7. Are these sanding discs suitable for wet sanding?

Yes, silicon carbide discs are often suitable for both wet and dry sanding applications. Wet sanding can help reduce dust and provide a smoother finish on certain surfaces like stone or metal.

8. Are these discs durable for heavy-duty use?

While silicon carbide is ideal for fine and precision sanding, its sharp edges may wear faster during heavy-duty sanding on tougher materials. For demanding applications, ensure you select the appropriate grit and material for durability.

9. How do these discs perform with dust extraction systems?

The discs are designed to align with dust extraction systems when used with compatible sanders, ensuring a cleaner workspace and extending the life of the abrasive by reducing clogging.
