mesh sanding sheets

Mesh sanding discs are usually sold in assorted grit sets covering coarse to fine—commonly 80, 120, 180, 240 and 320 grit. Sets often include multiple discs of each grit.

A common size is 5 inches; these 5-inch discs are compatible with most 5-inch sanders.

Mesh sanding sheets commonly use ceramic abrasives (often described as ceramic alumina) on an open mesh or mesh-screen backing. Some products also feature a hook-and-loop (flocking) attachment surface.

Their open, anti-clogging mesh construction lets particles pass through thousands of tiny holes for improved dust extraction. This reduces debris buildup, keeping the abrasive cutting cleaner and helping maintain dust control at the worksite.

Many mesh discs use a hook-and-loop (peel-and-stick) backing with high-density flocking for quick, secure attachment and easy disc replacement.

Mesh sanding sheets are described as suitable for wood, metal, drywall and composite materials. Common uses include paint removal, car-body repair, plaster smoothing, and general wood surface sanding.

Packs are commonly sold with 50 pieces total, often split across five grits (for example: 80, 120, 180, 240 and 320) with about 10 discs per grit.

Common features include open-mesh anti-clogging construction for dust extraction, long-lasting ceramic grit, quick hook-and-loop change systems, and compatibility with standard 5-inch sanders.
