Why are Festool Abrasives better? Festool grades their abrasives to tighter tolerances than other manufacturers. The result is less anomalies and more consistent cut patterns without wild scratches. Festool's flawless Jet Stream dust extraction keeps the job clean, and makes discs last longer by keeping surfaces cooler. They also use hook and loop pads for efficient disc changes, super durable abrasive backings and coated surfaces to avoid loading.
Think of Vlies as a Scotchbrite® pad for your sander. Use any grit, A80-S800, for cleaning metal or rust removal. Grits A100-A280 are for scuffing surfaces for repainting, and A280-S800 provide a matte to semi-gloss finish on metals, cured finishes and paint.
Grit - aluminum oxide A80-A280 and silicon carbide S800
