Abrasive Sheets

hether you're working with wood, metal, plastic, or painted surfaces, Engweld offers a comprehensive selection of high-quality abrasive sheets from validated brands such as Abracs or Klingspor to meet your needs. Our sheets are available in various grits, materials, and sizes, ensuring optimal performance for every project.

Abrasive Materials and Applications

The abrasive material determines the sheet's suitability for different applications. We offer sheets with:

Aluminum Oxide: A general-purpose abrasive suitable for wood, metal, and painted surfaces. Offers a good balance of performance and cost.

Silicon Carbide: Ideal for sanding hard materials like glass, stone, and non-ferrous metals. Known for its sharp cutting action.

Zirconia Alumina: A durable abrasive for metalworking applications, providing aggressive material removal and a long lifespan.

Ceramic: Offers the highest performance and longest lifespan, making it ideal for demanding applications on hard metals and alloys.

Grit Guide

The grit number indicates the coarseness of the abrasive. Lower numbers represent coarser grits, while higher numbers indicate finer grits. Here's a general guide:

• 40-60 Grit: Coarse (for aggressive material removal)
• 80-120 Grit: Medium (for general sanding and shaping)
• 150-220 Grit: Fine (for surface preparation and smoothing)
• 240-400 Grit: Very Fine (for final finishing and polishing)
• 400+ Grit: Extra Fine (for very fine polishing)

The appropriate grit depends on the material you're working with and the desired finish.

Sizes and Formats

Engweld offers abrasive sheets in various sizes and formats to suit different tools and applications, including:

• Standard Sheets: Typically 9 x 11 inches, suitable for hand sanding and power sanders.
• Rolls: For use with drum sanders and other specialized equipment.
• Discs: For use with orbital and rotary sanders.
• Specialty Shapes: For detail sanding and hard-to-reach areas.

It can be also important for you, depending of the project you are working on, to select a sanding belt or Sanding Discs.

Essential Practices for Using Abrasive Sheets:

While abrasive sheets are generally safe to use, it's important to take precautions to minimize the risk of injury and protect your health.

• Eye Protection: Wear safety glasses or goggles to protect your eyes from dust and debris.
• Respiratory Protection: Use a dust mask or respirator, especially when sanding indoors or creating a lot of dust.
• Hand Protection: Wear gloves to protect your hands from abrasion and potential splinters
