Sanding belts and sheets for sanding machines require added durability over a normal sheet of sandpaper or sanding disk and are made with a material backing to withstand the additional stress, heat and wear when being used in a machine. Belt sanders use a variety of length and width belts so understanding the exact size your tool or machine requires is key to ensuring a safe working environment. Sanding sheets are usually used for oscillating or orbital sanders and come in a range of shapes and sizes in packs to suit different sanders. Whether you need a sheet unpunched or punched for dust extraction or one of many sheet shapes including rectangular, triangular and disc, at RS we have you covered with a quality range.

### How to use a Sanding Sheet

Sanding sheets can be used for hand or power sanding where they are attached to a power tool such as an orbital sander. Hand sanding gives a lighter touch to the material being sanded. Power sanding sheets are fitted onto a power tool to quickly get rid of blemishes, shaping and levelling wood or preparing metal surfaces for painting.
