The tool that reaches the corner

A delta or detail sander has a triangular pad that gets into internal corners, along edges and into recesses no orbital sander can reach. These are the abrasive pads for it.

Stocked in two sizes, 93mm x 93mm and 100mm x 140mm, both hook and loop. Check which your machine takes before ordering, because the two are not interchangeable and the larger size will foul the housing on a smaller sander.

Rotate the pad before you replace it

This is the single most useful thing to know about delta pads, and it doubles how long a pack lasts.

A triangular pad does nearly all its work at the tip. The tip wears out while the two rear corners are still sharp. Because the pad is an equilateral triangle on a matching base, you can peel it off, turn it, and put a fresh corner at the tip.

Three usable positions per pad. Most people throw the pad away after the first one.

Working into a corner

Let the tip do the work and keep the pad flat. Tipping the sander to dig into a corner puts all the pressure on one edge, which burns through that edge of the abrasive and can mark the surface.

Where a corner is tight enough that the tip will not reach, a strip torn from a sanding roll and folded is a better answer than forcing the machine. See sanding rolls.

Grits and dust

Stocked in 40, 60, 80 and 120 grit. Work through them in order rather than jumping grades, because a fine pad will polish over deep scratches rather than remove them.

If your sander extracts through the pad, keep the extraction holes clear and match the hole pattern. A blocked pad loads with dust within minutes, and a loaded pad stops cutting and starts burnishing, which shows as shiny patches on timber and as a poor key under paint.

Clean the hook and loop face of the machine's base plate from time to time. Packed dust stops the next pad gripping and a pad that slips on the base will spin off in use.


Frequently Asked Questions

What training is needed to use abrasive wheels? +

The Provision and Use of Work Equipment Regulations (PUWER) and the Abrasive Wheels Regulations require that persons who mount or use abrasive wheels have received adequate training and instruction.

What is the difference between a cutting disc and a grinding wheel? +

Cutting discs are thin (1–3mm) and designed for slicing through materials quickly with minimal material removal. Grinding wheels are thicker and used for removing material, shaping, and surface finishing.

How do I choose the right abrasive grit? +

Lower grit numbers (e.g. 40–80) remove material quickly but leave a rougher finish. Higher grits (e.g. 120–400) produce a finer finish with less material removal. Choose the grit based on the material and the required finish.
