Hook-and-loop surface conditioning disc with coarse aluminum oxide for material finishing

  • TypeSanders
  • Hook-and-loop backing enables quick disc changes
  • Coarse-grade aluminium oxide tackles heavy material removal
  • Non-woven construction resists loading during use
  • 4 1/2 inch diameter fits common angle grinders
  • Brown colour identifies the coarse grade instantly

Non-Woven Surface Conditioning Disc

This hook-and-loop disc uses non-woven aluminum-oxide abrasive to clean, blend and finish metal surfaces without gouging. The open structure resists loading so the disc keeps cutting through paint, rust or weld discolouration. It mounts directly to a 4 1/2 in backup pad on angle grinders or right-angle sanders. The coarse grade removes material quickly while leaving a consistent scratch pattern.

Coarse Grade for Aggressive Prep Work

The coarse brown disc suits fabricators, welders and maintenance crews who need fast stock removal before painting or coating. It is not for finish sanding where a fine or very fine grade would leave a smoother surface. Buyers who want dust extraction should choose a vacuum-hole version instead of this non-vacuum disc.

4 1/2 Inch Diameter with Hook-and-Loop Attachment

The 4 1/2 in overall diameter matches standard angle-grinder backup pads for immediate fitment. Hook-and-loop fastening allows quick disc changes without tools or adhesive residue. Verify that your sander accepts a 4 1/2 in non-vacuum disc before ordering.

Questions about this item

How much heat does the 14101 disc generate during continuous sanding?

The non-woven aluminum oxide construction runs cooler than bonded abrasives because the open web dissipates heat while resisting loading.

What backing pad or tool is required to attach this hook-and-loop disc?

A 4 1/2 inch hook-and-loop backup pad on a compatible sander or angle grinder is needed; the disc has no centre hole so it centres on the pad face.

Will this coarse brown disc load quickly on soft aluminium or older painted surfaces?

The load-resistant non-woven web sheds debris rather than clogging, so it stays effective on gummy materials that plug conventional paper discs.
