Klingspor mesh abrasive discs provide a high-performance sanding solution with dust extraction across the entire surface. Thanks to their open mesh structure, they allow dust to be removed efficiently, greatly reduce clogging and provide cleaner, more consistent sanding results.

In this category, Probois Machinoutils offers Klingspor AN 400 mesh abrasive discs, designed to meet the needs of both professionals and demanding DIY users. They are suitable for sanding wood, wood-based materials, paint, varnish, fillers, plaster, plasterboard, gel coats and composite materials.

Find Klingspor AN 400 mesh abrasive discs

The Klingspor AN 400 is a hook-and-loop mesh abrasive designed for use with many orbital and random orbital sanders fitted with a hook-and-loop backing pad.

Depending on the products available, you will find:

• Klingspor mesh abrasive discs;

• several diameters for common sanding machines;

• a wide range of grit sizes;

• abrasives for coarse sanding;

• abrasives for surface preparation;

• abrasives for finishing work;

• easy-to-fit hook-and-loop discs;

• abrasives compatible with dust extraction systems.

The Klingspor AN 400 range is therefore suitable for many applications, from heavy material removal to fine finishing.

Why choose Klingspor AN 400 abrasive mesh?

Unlike a conventional abrasive disc with only a limited number of dust extraction holes, Klingspor abrasive mesh has an open structure across its entire surface.

This design provides many advantages:

• even dust extraction;

• a significant reduction in clogging;

• sanding with very little dust;

• longer abrasive life;

• improved visibility of the work area;

• a cleaner working environment;

• a more even finish;

• fewer scratches caused by trapped sanding dust.

Klingspor AN 400 abrasive mesh does not depend on the hole pattern of the sanding pad. It can therefore be used with many common machines, provided the disc diameter and fastening system are compatible.

Professional-quality Klingspor construction

The Klingspor AN 400 mesh abrasive disc is designed for demanding and intensive sanding applications.

It is made from:

• aluminium oxide abrasive grain;

• synthetic resin bonding;

• strong polyester mesh backing;

• hook-and-loop backing;

• waterproof materials.

The aluminium oxide grain provides effective material removal and gradual wear. The synthetic resin bonding holds the abrasive grain securely, while the polyester mesh backing offers excellent mechanical strength.

This construction allows the Klingspor AN 400 to maintain good cutting performance and consistent sanding results throughout use.

For wood and wood-based materials

Klingspor AN 400 abrasive discs are particularly suitable for woodworking.

They can be used for sanding:

• solid wood;

• softwood;

• hardwood;

• MDF panels;

• chipboard;

• plywood;

• other wood-based materials;

• painted or varnished surfaces.

They are ideal for preparing surfaces before applying paint, oil, wood stain or varnish.

Efficient dust extraction is especially useful when sanding wood, as this type of work generally produces large quantities of fine dust.

For paint, varnish and finishing products

Klingspor AN 400 abrasive mesh is also recommended for sanding paint, varnish, primer and filler.

It can be used to:

• remove old paint;

• key or lightly sand varnish;

• sand between coats;

• prepare a surface before painting;

• smooth filler;

• achieve a fine finish;

• sand repaired or filled surfaces.

Efficient dust removal reduces abrasive clogging, especially when sanding paint and filler, which often clog conventional sanding discs quickly.

For plaster, plasterboard and composite materials

Klingspor mesh abrasive discs are also suitable for work on:

• plaster;

• plasterboard;

• finishing compounds;

• composite materials;

• gel coats;

• automotive surfaces;

• marine applications;

• certain resin parts.

Their open structure helps prevent dust from building up between the abrasive disc and the sanded surface.

Dust extraction across the entire disc surface

One of the main advantages of the Klingspor AN 400 is its full-surface dust extraction.

With a conventional perforated abrasive disc, dust can only be removed through the holes in the disc. Abrasive mesh allows air and dust to pass through the entire surface.

This provides:

• more even dust extraction;

• less dust in the workshop;

• less clogging on the backing pad;

• improved vacuum efficiency;

• better visibility of the work surface;

• greater user comfort.

For the best results, we recommend using the sander connected to a suitable dust extractor.

Easy-to-use hook-and-loop abrasive discs

Klingspor AN 400 mesh discs feature a hook-and-loop fastening system.

They can be fitted quickly onto the sander backing pad and removed easily when changing grit.

This system is particularly convenient when a sanding job requires several stages using different grit sizes.

Before use, always check:

• the disc diameter;

• the backing pad diameter;

• the presence of a hook-and-loop backing pad;

• the required grit size;

• compatibility with your sander.

How to choose the correct grit size

The correct grit depends on the material, the condition of the surface and the required finish.

A coarse grit is suitable for stripping, initial sanding or heavy material removal.

A medium grit is ideal for general surface preparation, levelling and removing marks left by a coarser abrasive.

A fine grit is suitable for preparing a surface before painting, varnishing or finishing.

A very fine grit is ideal for sanding between coats of paint or varnish and for work requiring an especially smooth finish.

For an even result, it is advisable to work gradually from a coarse grit to a finer grit without skipping too many intermediate steps.

Longer service life thanks to the mesh structure

The open structure of the Klingspor AN 400 allows dust to escape instead of becoming trapped between the abrasive grains.

This reduces clogging and allows the disc to retain its cutting performance for longer.

However, service life also depends on several factors:

• the material being sanded;

• the pressure applied;

• the sander speed;

• dust extraction efficiency;

• the grit used;

• the condition of the surface;

• frequency of use.

Avoid applying excessive pressure. The sander and abrasive should be allowed to work without being unnecessarily forced.
