โจ Key Features of 5" & 6" Self Adhesive Sanding Discs
- Two Popular Sizes (5" & 6"): Choose 125mm for compact sanders or 150mm for larger random orbital machinesโboth provide a perfect edge-to-edge fit.
- Full Grit Spectrum (60โ1200): Start coarse to remove material quickly, step through medium grits for scratch refinement, and finish fine for a surface ready to paint or polish.
- High-Performance Aluminium Oxide: Hard, durable grains resist dulling and loading, delivering a fast, even cut across wood, metal, filler, and painted surfaces.
- Reliable Glue Backing: The pressure-sensitive adhesive covers the entire back of the disc, holding securely during aggressive sanding while peeling away cleanly when it's time to change grits.
- Made for Car & Wood Projects: Proven on auto body filler, clear coat, MDF, hardwood, softwood, varnish, and even drywall compound.
- Dry Use Only: Optimized for dry sanding conditions to maintain adhesion and prevent paper tearing.

โ Frequently Asked Questions โ Adhesive Sanding Discs
Q: Should I choose 5-inch or 6-inch discs for my sander?
A: Measure your sander's backing pad. If the pad diameter is 125mm, choose 5-inch discs; if it's 150mm, choose 6-inch discs. Using the correct size ensures full pad coverage and prevents the disc edge from hanging over and catching on the workpiece.
Q: What grit do I need for sanding car body filler before primer?
A: Start with 80 or 120 grit to shape and level the filler, then move to 240 or 320 grit to refine the surface and feather the edges into the surrounding paint or metal. Finish with 400โ600 grit on the entire panel before applying primer.
Q: Will the adhesive leave residue on my sander pad?
A: The glue backing is designed for clean removal. If any light residue remains after you peel the disc off, a quick wipe with rubbing alcohol or a pad cleaning stick will take it right off without damaging the pad.
Q: Can I use these discs wet to reduce dust?
A: No, these are strictly dry sanding discs. Introducing water or polishing fluids will compromise the adhesive and may cause the paper to tear or separate from the backing. For wet work, use a waterproof sandpaper designed for that purpose.
Q: My sander has a hook-and-loop backing pad โ can I still use these sanding discs?
A: These discs are made for PSA (stickyโback) pads. If your sander uses hookโandโloop, you'll need a conversion pad that sticks to your existing pad and provides a smooth surface for the adhesive to grab. Applying these directly over hooks won't give you a flat sanding surface.
