6"X 6 HOLE XTRA LUBE H&L 50PK

Top-quality Stearate Aluminum Oxide grains, which are resin-bonded to a new latex-like backing. The backing is tougher than normal paper backing in applications when corner sanding and during excessive edge wear. Has mulitple coats of different Stearate mixtures to alleviate loading. Perfect for bare wood sanding, sealer sanding, solid surface sanding, solid surface materials, and even auto body fillers.

On closeout at $7.98 for 50 discs, would these be good for general wood sanding? My wallet sure loves them. Or are other Klingspor discs better or maybe Mirka sanding discs?

What grits should I get?

[Michael Moscicki]

What grits do I need? I don't want to sand too much, so the bare minimum is fine.

[Rick Potter]

Do you have a 6" six hole sander? If so, I suggest 100 grit, 150, 220, and maybe 320.

These are the remaining grits of the discs that they have left:

60, 80, 100, 120, 240, 320, 1200, and 1500

Would 100, 120, and 240 be a good compromise?

Thanks for the help.

[Steven Hsieh]

Yes, I would add 80 grit just in case.

[Rick Fisher]

I use, in this order .. 180, 240, 150, 120, 320

( popularity, not sanding order :) )
