Abrasive Sheets/Rolls for Hand Use

141 products · Abrasive Sheets and Pads for Random Orbital Sanders

Abrasive sheets, rolls and blades for hand use, to sand and finish wood, metal and surfaces being prepared for painting, with no need for a sander.

Types available

  • Abrasive paper rolls in various widths and lengths, such as 120 mm x 5 m and 120 mm x 50 m (Makita, DeWalt, Vigor).
  • Special sheets and papers: silicate paper, waterproof latex paper and stearate-coated paper (Fervi).
  • Non-woven rolls (Fervi, Milwaukee).
  • Replacement abrasive blades for the 621 scraper (Pavan) and sanding blocks.

How to choose

Choose the grit according to the job: coarse to remove paint or material, fine for finishing. The roll can be cut to the size required and is economical for repeated work, while the sheet is handier for one-off jobs. For wet sanding you need waterproof papers.

When sanding flat surfaces by hand, it is best to wrap the sheet around a sanding block, so that the pressure is spread evenly and no dips are created. On edges and profiles you can use the roll or the sheet folded instead.

For grits and formats, write to or call AMES: supply is by quotation.

Frequently asked questions: Abrasive Sheets/Rolls for Hand Use
What are hand-use abrasive sheets, rolls and blades used for?

Abrasive sheets, rolls and blades for hand use serve to sand and finish wood, metal and surfaces to be prepared for painting, without the need for a sander. They are useful for corners, details, maintenance and small repairs. They are cut to the size needed, directly at the work location.

Which grit should I choose for removing paint or for finishing?

To remove old paint or material, use low grits; for finishing and sanding before painting, use finer grits. A grit that is too coarse leaves marks that then have to be removed. On roll papers, such as the KPF or CRA, the grit is stated on the packaging: read it before starting.

What is the difference between silicon carbide paper, latex paper and steel wool?

Silicon carbide paper is a classic abrasive paper for wood and paint. Latex-coated waterproof paper can also be used with water, to sand without the paper breaking up. Steel wool is a soft metal fibre, used to clean and polish metal or wooden surfaces. Choose according to the job and the material.

How are abrasive sponges and pads used?

Abrasive sponges and rubber abrasive pads are used by hand on curved surfaces, profiles and work where a sheet would crease. They are useful for sanding, cleaning and preparing a surface before painting. Choose the sponge according to the hardness needed for the surface you are treating.

How do I use steel wool safely?

Steel wool leaves small fragments that can get into the skin. Wear work gloves and glasses, and do not rub hard on surfaces in contact with the body. Do not use it on live electrical parts, because the fragments conduct current. Remove residue after use, to avoid rust stains on the work.

Which hand-abrasive brands and formats are in the range?

The range includes Makita, DeWalt and Vigor rolls, non-woven rolls from Fervi and Milwaukee, special papers from Fervi and Imperial rolls. There are also replacement blades for the Pavan 621 scraper. Choose the format according to width and length, for example 120 mm x 5 m or 120 mm x 50 m.

Who uses these hand abrasives?

They are used by carpenters, painters, builders and maintenance technicians who work on details or parts a sander cannot reach. They are also suitable for touch-ups and preparation at home, in the workshop and on site. A pad or sheet used by hand gives more control on delicate surfaces.
