Key Features & Benefits
-
•
Open‑Coat & Load‑Resistance: Spaced abrasive grains enable dust evacuation, while special coatings protect the surface from premature loading, preventing clogging and extending tool life.
-
•
Aluminum Oxide & A-Weight Paper: Fast-cutting, durable, and self-fracturing mineral mineral paired with a lightweight, flexible backing—ideal for feathering edges and contour sanding.
-
•
Xtract™ & Flexible Attachments: Available in Stikit™ (adhesive) and Hookit™ (hook-and-loop) options. Xtract™ multi-hole patterns dramatically reduce dust for a cleaner workspace.
