I have a sanding disc that attaches to my drill, and i'm struggling to find a replacement. Does anyone know what it's officially called?
I reckon it's about 180 grit.
It's about 127mm external diameter (but i'm not bothered as long as its approx the same size)
Its 14 mm internal diameter, which is more critical.
Sounds like it might be referred to as a "Tungsten carbide buffing disc".
I found this page by also trying to find the name of this disc, which I too need to replace for use with my electric drill. I use it with a sanding disc rubber backing pad attachment, whereby I secure the disc to said attachment with a central screw and use it to sand very rough wood, where most paper and/or cloth type sanding discs would tear easily. I have looked up the 'Tungsten carbide buffing disc' mentioned above and can find none that look like the disc I have been using for years, as they all seem to have a much wider central hole - 22.5mm instead of required 15mm and they are all about 6mm thick instead of being sheet metal. After searching many alternatives I have finally tracked the correct disc down. It is a Cintride Abrasive Disc and a three disc set (Coarse, Medium & Fine) can be found on eBay (y-tools or M A Tooling shop) and I, personally, have ordered some today! I hope the above is of some help. :-)
