Popular Flex Products

Flex offers an extensive range of sanding disc solutions tailored to specific applications. Their hook-and-loop backed discs provide quick changes and secure attachment for orbital and eccentric sanders, available in diameters from 125mm to 225mm. For automotive refinishing work, Flex Pronto discs feature multi-hole patterns that ensure efficient dust extraction during paint preparation and bodywork. Metalworkers appreciate Flex's aluminium oxide and ceramic grain options for aggressive stock removal on ferrous materials, whilst woodworkers favour their stearate-coated discs that resist clogging when working with resinous timbers.

Frequently Asked Questions

Are Flex sanding discs compatible with other brands of sanders?

Yes, Flex sanding discs with hook-and-loop backing systems are compatible with most quality random orbital and eccentric sanders that use standard attachment methods. However, you'll achieve optimal performance when pairing them with Flex power tools, as they're engineered to work together seamlessly.

What grit range should I use for different applications?

For heavy material removal and paint stripping, start with 40-80 grit. For general surface preparation and removing scratches, use 120-180 grit. For fine finishing work before painting or varnishing, progress through 240-400 grit. Ultra-fine grits (600+) are ideal for colour sanding and polishing applications.

How do I maximise the lifespan of my Flex sanding discs?

Always use appropriate extraction to prevent dust loading, avoid excessive pressure which generates heat and premature wear, and progress through grits systematically rather than jumping from coarse to fine. Store discs flat in a dry environment and replace them when cutting efficiency noticeably decreases rather than forcing worn discs to work harder.
