Frequently Asked Questions

What grit should I use for different sanding stages?

Start with 40-80 grit for heavy stock removal and paint stripping, progress to 120-150 grit for general smoothing, and finish with 180-240 grit for final preparation before painting or varnishing. For ultra-smooth finishes on hardwoods, use 320 grit or finer.

Are Makita sanding discs compatible with other brands of sanders?

Whilst Makita discs are optimised for Makita tools, they'll fit any sander matching the disc diameter and fixing method (hook and loop or adhesive). Ensure hole patterns align for proper dust extraction performance.

How do I know when to replace a sanding disc?

Replace discs when they stop cutting efficiently, become glazed or clogged, show visible wear to the backing material, or produce excessive heat during use. Regular replacement maintains productivity and finish quality.
