● Achieve flawless finishes on automotive paint, high‑end furniture, metal, jade, and marine surfaces with our FV soft 17‑hole sanding discs. Designed for tray‑mounted pneumatic sanders and compatible with Festool and other 6″ random orbital sanders, these discs feature a soft, flocked velvet backing that conforms perfectly to curved, contoured, and uneven surfaces – unlike stiff paper discs. The 17‑hole pattern provides exceptional dust extraction for dry sanding and allows water flow for wet sanding. Use dry for rapid material removal or wet to eliminate dust, reduce heat, and extend disc life. The 40-1000 grit range covers aggressive stock removal (40-80), intermediate smoothing (120-240), fine finishing (320-400), and ultra‑fine polishing (600-1000). Quickly removes dust spots and orange peel after spray painting, significantly reduces polishing wax consumption, and lowers rework risk. Ideal for body shops, woodworking studios, metal fabrication, and high‑end craft polishing.
✨ Key Features – 6″ 17-Hole FV Soft Wet/Dry Discs
●
17‑Hole Dust/Water Pattern – Optimized for Festool and other 6″ random orbital sanders. Excellent dust extraction during dry sanding and water flow during wet sanding.
●
FV Soft Material – Conforms to Curves – Soft, flexible flocked velvet backing adapts to curved, contoured, and uneven surfaces (auto panels, furniture profiles, ship hulls). Superior finish without hard edge marks.
●
Wet & Dry Sanding – Fully waterproof. Use dry for fast cutting or wet for dust‑free, heat‑reduced polishing on clear coat, gelcoat, paint, and primer.
●
Full Grit Range P40 → P1000 – Coarse (40-80) for stock removal, medium (120-240) for smoothing, fine (320-400) for prep, ultra‑fine (600-1000) for polishing.
●
Quickly Removes Orange Peel & Dust Spots – Engineered for post‑paint correction. Saves time and reduces labor rework.
●
Reduces Polishing Wax Consumption – Fine grit progression leaves a smoother surface, so you use up to 50% less compound in the final polishing stage.
●
Wide Application – Wood sanding, high‑grade furniture, metal products, fine grinding, jade polishing, shipbuilding, primer sanding, and more.
❓ Frequently Asked Questions – 6″ 17-Hole Soft Sanding Discs
● Are these discs compatible with my Festool sander?
Yes – they are designed with a 17‑hole pattern that matches Festool 6″ random orbital sanders (e.g., ETS EC 150, RO 150). They also work with most other 150mm sanders that use a 17‑hole or compatible dust extraction pattern. The soft FV material pairs especially well with Festool's dust extraction system for clean, efficient sanding.
● What is the advantage of FV soft material over regular paper discs?
FV (flocking velvet) soft discs are much more flexible and conform to curved, contoured, and concave surfaces without folding or tearing. This gives you a more even finish on auto body panels, furniture profiles, and ship hulls – no hard edge marks. The soft backing also reduces the risk of gouging and creates a smoother transition between grits.
● How does wet sanding help with orange peel removal?
Wet sanding with these discs removes the sanding dust instantly, so you can see exactly how much clear coat you're removing. It also keeps the abrasive and paint surface cool, preventing the disc from clogging and reducing the risk of burning through the clear coat. The result is a flat, scratch‑free surface that polishes out to a mirror finish with significantly less wax/compound.
● What grit progression should I use for paint correction?
For removing orange peel and dust nibs from fresh clear coat: start with P1000‑1500 (if you have 1200/1500, otherwise P1000 is fine), then P2000‑P3000, and finish with machine compound. For deeper scratch repair, start with P800‑1000 wet, then P1500, P2000, then compound. Always sand wet and clean the surface between grits.
● Can I use these discs for jade and gemstone polishing?
Absolutely. The soft FV material is excellent for jade, amber, and other gemstones. Use wet sanding with P400‑P600 for shaping, P800‑P1000 for smoothing, and then move to higher grits (not included, but available separately) for mirror polishing. The flexible backing reduces the risk of chipping edges on delicate stones.
