Norton Hook & Sand discs use P-graded aluminum oxide abrasive on a fiber-reinforced C-weight paper backing for consistent scratch patterns and long disc life. The open-coat construction with Norton's No-Fil stearate anti-loading coating sheds dust and wood resin instead of glazing over, so each disc lasts longer than uncoated abrasive. Hook-and-loop backing lets you swap grits in seconds on any 5-inch random orbital sander.

• P100 grit - medium grade for general sanding and initial surface prep
• 5-inch diameter, 8-hole pattern for dust extraction on universal vacuum-port sanders
• P-graded aluminum oxide grain for repeatable, consistent scratch patterns
• Open coat with Norton No-Fil stearate anti-loading coating
• C-weight fiber-reinforced paper backing resists tearing under continuous use
• Hook-and-loop attachment for fast grit changes between passes
• Max 15,000 RPM safe operating limit
• 25 discs per pack

Tip: P100 is the workhorse mid-range grit: smoothing planed lumber before primer, scuff-sanding cured paint for a repaint, and prepping drywall patches. Most surface-prep jobs start here when the wood is already reasonably smooth.

Sander fit: The 5-inch 8-hole hook-and-loop pattern is the universal vacuum-port layout for most modern 5-inch random orbital sanders (DeWalt DCW210 / DWE6423, Bosch ROS20VSC, Makita BO5041, Porter Cable 382, Festool ETS 125, Ridgid R2606, and similar). Use with vacuum extraction to extend disc life - clogged dust kills cut speed faster than worn grit.

Grit progression: Suggested bare-wood progression: P80 -> P120 -> P180 -> P220 for stain-grade furniture, or P80 -> P120 -> P150 for paint-grade work. Each step should fully remove the prior grit's scratch pattern - check with raking light. Skipping more than two grit steps (e.g., P60 jumping to P150) leaves coarse scratches that show through stain and clear finish.
