80 Grit Sanding Discs: Fast Cutting Power for Heavy-Duty Prep

80 grit sanding discs are built for aggressive material removal, making them the first choice for stripping old finishes, leveling uneven surfaces, or tackling heavy rust. The 5-Inch 8-Hole Sanding Discs, Hook & Loop, Assorted Grit (50-Pack) include durable 80 grit discs that cut fast and last long, even under demanding use.

Why 80 Grit Stands Out

With large, sharp abrasive particles, 80 grit sands quickly without clogging easily. It's perfect for the rough-in phase of woodworking, metalwork, or restoration jobs where speed and efficiency are top priorities.

Best Uses for 80 Grit

• Paint & Varnish Removal: Strips stubborn coatings from furniture, doors, or trim.
• Rust & Corrosion Removal: Cleans heavily oxidized metal surfaces before priming.
• Leveling Surfaces: Flattens warped boards or high spots in flooring.
• Shape Work: Quickly rounds edges or reshapes contours.

Tools & Setup

• 80 Grit Sanding Disc from the 50-Pack
• Random orbital sander with hook & loop backing pad
• Vacuum or dust extraction system
• Protective gear: dust mask, goggles, and hearing protection

Step-by-Step: Using 80 Grit

1. Prepare the Workpiece: Secure the item and remove loose debris.
2. Attach the Disc: Align holes to match the sander’s dust ports.
3. Sand with Steady Motion: Keep the tool moving to avoid gouging.
4. Check Progress Often: Stop as soon as defects or coatings are removed.
5. Transition to a Finer Grit: Follow with 120 grit or higher for a smoother surface.

Pro Tips

• Don’t press too hard—let the abrasive do the work.
• Change discs as soon as they lose cutting speed.
• Use dust extraction to extend disc life and keep the workspace clean.

Common Mistakes

• Using 80 Grit for Finish Prep: Too coarse for final stages—always follow with finer grits.
• Skipping Grit Steps: Can leave deep scratches that are hard to remove later.
• Lingering in One Spot: May create uneven surfaces.

FAQs

• Is 80 grit good for hardwood floors? Yes, for the first pass before moving to finer grits.
• Can I use it on metal? Absolutely—great for rust and paint removal.
• Does it clog with paint? Less than finer grits, but cleaning between uses is still important.
