oscillating tool sanding paper

Many sheets and discs include pre-punched or patterned holes for dust collection, anti-clogging mesh constructions, and surface coatings or abrasive types that reduce clogging and extend life. Look for hole patterns that match your tool’s pad for effective dust extraction, and for coated or mesh abrasives when clogging is a common issue.

Kits commonly bundle specific grit combinations such as 60/120/240 or 80/120/220. Larger assortments group multiple grits with fixed counts per grit—for example, sets that include 10 pieces of each listed grit (e.g., 60/80/120/180/240/320).

Stearate coatings are commonly used to reduce clogging and improve finish. Abrasives built with mesh or ceramic constructions also resist clogging and maintain sharpness longer, helping deliver a cleaner finish and longer paper life.

Common grits range from very coarse to very fine, including 40, 60, 80, 100, 120, 180, 220, 240, 320, 400, 800 and 1000.

Typical abrasives and constructions include silicon carbide, ceramic (and ceramic mesh) abrasives, aluminum oxide, garnet, and heavier-weight paper or mesh backings.
