Typical sanding disc sizes are 120 or 150 mm. We are not currently keeping them in stock so you should be prepared to bring your own.

If you plan to remove paint, make sure to use special discs that don't clog as easily (usually with a white coating)! A spatula or a plane is usually more appropriate for this kind of work, though.

Dust Extraction Holes

Make sure the disc matches the machine not only in diameter, but also hole placement!

Multi-hole discs like "Bosch Expert Schleifpapier" which is usually available at Bauhaus fit most machines.

Mesh discs can be used on any machine hole pattern! Please share your experience if you have tested a brand or two.
