Choose accessories for your sander or polisher. Check the connection size: millimetres or inches. Decide if you need a set or individual pieces, and which length works best. Consider hanging options for tidy storage. Pick durable material and a good finish for long-term use.
Sanding accessories for every job
Choose the right size and form
Sanding accessories come in many sizes and forms. Check the connection size of your machine. It is in millimetres or inches. A wrong size will not fit and can be dangerous. Also look at the form of the accessory. A cone form reaches different areas than a flat disc. This way you pick exactly what you need.
Pieces or a set
Decide if you want pieces or a set. A set is handy when you do different jobs. You always have the right accessory at hand. Pieces are cheaper when you often use one specific size. Also mind the length. A long accessory gives more reach but can be awkward in tight spaces. Choose the length that suits your work.
What to check when ordering
Do not order blindly from a photo. Check the specifications of the accessory. Look at the material and the finish. Plastic parts must be sturdy and fit well. Steel must not rust or have sharp edges. A good finish ensures long use. This way you avoid having to buy a replacement soon.
