Whether you’re refinishing a floor, prepping for painting, indulging in some fine woodworking or countless other D.I.Y. projects, chances are you’ll be doing some sanding. It’s the key to a polished finish and a professional-looking result, but if you’re not an expert, how do you find what you’re looking for, quickly and easily? Irwin is here to help with their broad collection of abrasive papers. There are more than 100 options to suit a wide variety of sanding tools, and in grit sizes to tackle different materials and tasks.
Safety tip: When using a power sander, be sure to wear a mask and eye and ear protection and always sand in a well-ventilated area.
It’s easy to find what you need with a glance at the packaging. Clear illustrations show the sanding sheet size and pattern, the model they fit and the materials they suit. A handy colour co-ordinated panel helps you hone in on grit size, whether you’re looking for coarse grit for tough tasks (orange), medium for smoothing (green) or fine for a quality finish (blue).
For the woodworker’s all-rounder, the orbital sander, IRWIN has sanding discs to fit models from DeWalt, Ryobi, Bosch and Makita, among many others. With their hook-and-loop backing, it’s a matter of seconds to peel off the old sheet and stick on the new. You’ll find sanding belts for different-sized belt sanders – your go-to for tough woodworking projects – as well as rectangular sheets for finishing sanders. And for the palm sander in your woodworking armoury, there’s a selection of hook-and-loop backed detail sheets, available in the common grit sizes in packs of five. Perfect for the next time you see sanding in your home-improvement future!
