40 Grit Sanding Discs

Serious Grit 40 grit sanding discs are premium film-backed velcro discs designed to fit most 5" and 6" random orbital sanders with hook and loop backing pads. 

This is an extra coarse grit, used by woodworkers, metalworkers and DIYers for heavy stock removal, paint removal, or other very heavy sanding projects. It works well on metal and can be used for grinding or flattening imperfections. It also works well on softwoods where rough shaping or very heavy stock removal is desired. It has extremely strong cutting power and can be used standalone or in a progression with other grits from coarse to fine. It is typically not used with hardwoods or other furniture woodworking because the material removal rate is so high. 

Serious Grit 40 grit sandpaper uses aluminum oxide with fused zirconia. This gives the discs a much longer life vs standard aluminum oxide discs. They're also made with a premium heat treated zinc stearate coating to reduce clogging which helps prolong the life and reduce heat buildup.

What makes Serious Grit seriously good sandpaper?

  • Lasts Longer - the heat treated aluminum oxide grain is self-sharpening so you get an even finish throughout the life of the disc.
  • Won't Tear - rather than the typical paper material most sanding discs use, ours use a super strong film material that is both waterproof and very resistant to tearing.
  • Doesn't Clog - when your discs clog up with material, they lose their effectiveness quickly. Ours use a proprietary non-loading open coat zinc stearate that sheds the dust before it has a chance to clog up.
  • Reusable - our hook and loop material is made from a more expensive 60% nylon blend which enables it to be removed and reapplied more times than the competition. This means no more discs flying off your sander and less money wasted.
